Ioseb, nicknamed as Stalin, 00:00:19.149 --> 00:00:21.010 my grandfather, was a Romanov, but ineligible 00:00:21.010 --> 00:00:22.730 to be a Romanov royal prince due to the legal 00:00:22.730 --> 00:00:24.390 circumstances of his birth and the pregnancy. 00:00:25.299 --> 00:00:27.320 My great -grandfather Bessarone Stu Gashvilla 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:29.820 died in jail in the 1930s, a hero to some, after 00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:31.480 being sentenced to a life without parole jail 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.420 sentence for eight counts of murder in 1918. 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:35.960 He executed eight imposters pretending to be 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.460 my Romanov family royals in 1917 in a well -known 00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:40.700 incident in a partially underground wine cellar. 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.899 The executions were after he discovered his former 00:00:42.899 --> 00:00:44.759 lover -partner Serena Alexandra, her husband 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:46.619 Nicholas Hohenzolland II and their six eligible 00:00:46.619 --> 00:00:48.600 Romanov royal children, who he all knew personally, 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.149 had been abducted and murdered in 1916. My grandfather 00:00:52.149 --> 00:00:54.350 Ioseb, Stalin, was the only surviving child of 00:00:54.350 --> 00:00:56.090 the Tsarina to live to adulthood and have children. 00:00:56.869 --> 00:00:59.609 I am Ioseb's only legitimate grandchild. I have 00:00:59.609 --> 00:01:02.549 no legitimate descendants. Tsarina Alexandra 00:01:02.549 --> 00:01:04.689 and her royal family were abducted after a publicity 00:01:04.689 --> 00:01:07.049 photography shoot in 1916, scheduled for images 00:01:07.049 --> 00:01:09.090 to use for days like Christmas, New Year, Easter, 00:01:09.370 --> 00:01:12.260 royal days, holidays, national days, etc. It 00:01:12.260 --> 00:01:14.239 was a slightly comical group of photography sessions 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.299 where the Romanov royals regularly changed costumes 00:01:16.299 --> 00:01:18.120 and used non -authentic props like fake tiaras 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:19.959 and tin foil swords and completed a whole year 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:21.920 worth of publicity images in the one photoshoot. 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.180 They regularly had to attempt to keep a straight 00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:26.060 face when the images were taken, trying not to 00:01:26.060 --> 00:01:29.000 laugh. The photography crew hired for the photoshoot 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.420 was from the country Turkey. The crew abducted 00:01:31.420 --> 00:01:33.040 them after the almost a week -long photoshoot 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.359 was over. The perpetrators of the abductions 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.290 kept the clothing and props. The Romanov royals 00:01:38.290 --> 00:01:40.209 were then handed over to terrorism groups associated 00:01:40.209 --> 00:01:42.269 with evil fake physicist lunatic Albert Einstein. 00:01:43.109 --> 00:01:46.150 All eight were murdered by the end of 1916. Bessaronis 00:01:46.150 --> 00:01:48.469 and Serena Alexandra's son Iosette Stalin, due 00:01:48.469 --> 00:01:50.109 Gashvili was at boarding school in Georgia when 00:01:50.109 --> 00:01:51.810 his maternal family members were abducted and 00:01:51.810 --> 00:01:54.189 murdered. He was unaware the incidents had happened 00:01:54.189 --> 00:01:56.230 until contacted about his father Bessaronis arrest 00:01:56.230 --> 00:01:59.170 for eight counts of murder in 1917. He was still 00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:00.650 in boarding school in Georgia when his father 00:02:00.650 --> 00:02:03.709 was charged and scheduled for trial. My Romanov 00:02:03.709 --> 00:02:05.390 family's constitutional monarchy was declared, 00:02:05.590 --> 00:02:07.989 presumed permanently vacant, at the time. The 00:02:07.989 --> 00:02:09.729 remaining two royal children's remains were found 00:02:09.729 --> 00:02:13.349 and identified via DNA testing during 1991. When 00:02:13.349 --> 00:02:15.229 the remains of my Grand -Auntie Princess Anastasia 00:02:15.229 --> 00:02:17.050 and Grand -Uncle Prince Ivanovich were identified 00:02:17.050 --> 00:02:18.990 via DNA testing, it confirmed me as the sole 00:02:18.990 --> 00:02:20.629 legitimately descended possibility to become 00:02:20.629 --> 00:02:22.409 a Romanov royal, inherit the private estate, 00:02:22.550 --> 00:02:25.090 and become Tsar of Russia. As I had always been 00:02:25.090 --> 00:02:26.969 considered since my grandfather Iosef added me 00:02:26.969 --> 00:02:28.610 to his estate document as a beneficiary when 00:02:28.610 --> 00:02:32.240 I was three, in 1975. After his father was sentenced 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.539 to life without parole in 1918, my grandfather 00:02:34.539 --> 00:02:36.360 Ioseb went on to become General Secretary of 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.360 the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Premier 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.159 of the Soviet Union, political head of state, 00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:42.659 until an attempt to steal his identity in 1953. 00:02:43.659 --> 00:02:45.659 He was erroneously reported dead after the incident, 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.599 where he lost one eye and was seriously disfigured 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.120 in the face. The person who tried to steal his 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:51.979 identity was put on display lying in state, with 00:02:51.979 --> 00:02:54.240 a huge, big nostrils hook nose that looked absolutely 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.680 nothing like my grandfather's. My grandfather 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.219 Ioseb was a quadriplegic starting August 1939. 00:02:59.739 --> 00:03:01.919 The person who tried to steal his identity was 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:04.300 able -bodied and could walk upright. People who 00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:05.840 have similar noses to the dead impostor have 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.759 been recruited to stalk me all my life, including 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.719 one female who used to pretend to be my niece. 00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:12.560 Iuseb eventually moved to Kazakhstan permanently, 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.039 where he lived for the rest of his life. He died 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.460 in 1979, aged 98. I inherited his entire Russian 00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:21.080 -based estate in 1982, after his two living legitimate 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.379 children, my aunt Svetlana Zhugashvili, who accepted 00:03:23.379 --> 00:03:25.039 only money and had no legitimate descendants, 00:03:25.139 --> 00:03:26.900 and my mother Judith, both declined to collect 00:03:26.900 --> 00:03:29.460 everything else. Andi Svetlana died within a 00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:31.840 year of her father. The Jugashvili estate is 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.780 all officially in my name and not transferable. 00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:36.319 I have been illegally deprived of access to my 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.500 Russian -based Jugashvili estate since 1982. 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.979 My mother Judith died in 2018, leaving me as 00:03:41.979 --> 00:03:43.680 the only remaining legitimate Romanov family 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.199 member. The Romanov royal family monarchy was 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.199 reclassified with the presumed permanently vacant 00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.199 tag officially removed in January 2023.
