Introduction
Fourteen years ago, on 4th December 2007, I published an article under title 'Russia, Islam, and the West', which -within few days- was officially (ИноСМИ / Inosmi) translated into Russian (' Россия, ислам и Запад'). I wanted to briefly elaborate on how things would develop and to also identify possible allies for Russia within the so-called 'Islamic World'.
As the translated version of the article was extensively reproduced, I noticed that it was also well understood. Example: the great portal Centrasia (www.centrasia.org), while republishing the Russian translation, added an over-title for the use of its readers to state the following: "Экспансия западного мира не столько решала проблемы, сколько распространяла их вширь" (The expansion of the Western world did not so much solve problems as spread them in breadth). Indeed, there could not be better summary of my article's contents. The over-title was indeed an excellent reflection of my original perception and ultimate conviction, namely that the West wanted to use the senseless Islamic World against Russia.
Here you have the links:
In that article's last part, I put a title that appeared very odd, even to several Egyptian and other African friends of mine (at the time, I was living in Cairo): "Islam is Turkey and Iran". In that part, I explained why only these two countries could possibly be Russia's allies against the Western colonial contamination that threatens the entire world. The reason for this statement is that only these two countries had maintained until that time a correct sense of historical-cultural identity and an imperial-level establishment and diplomacy. As a matter of fact, the rest of the so-called Islamic world is constituted by fake states-puppets of the colonial powers (from Morocco and Nigeria to Egypt, Pakistan and Indonesia); unfortunately, the uneducated, ignorant, and idiotic elites of these neo-colonial structures never realized what 'national integrity' means.

The Fabergé eggs (яйцо Фаберже) were first created in 1885 when Emperor Alexander III commissioned Peter Carl Fabergé to create a spectacularly extravagant Easter gift to cheer up his young, homesick wife, Empress Maria Feodorovna.
After Alexander III's death, his son Nicholas II, presented a Fabergé egg to both his wife, Alexandra Fedorovna, and his mother, the Dowager Empress Maria Fedorovna.
All 57 of the 69 know Fabergé eggs that survive today were manufactured under the supervision of Peter Carl Fabergé between 1885 and 1917.
Following the revolution and the nationalization of the Fabergé workshop in St. Petersburg by the Bolsheviks in 1918, the Fabergé family left Russia.
The imperial family's palaces were ransacked and their treasures were moved to the Kremlin Armoury on order of Vladimir Lenin.
The Fabergé trademark has since been sold several times, and several companies have retailed egg-related merchandise using the Fabergé name.
Currently, ten of the imperial Easter eggs are displayed at Moscow's Kremlin Armory Museum.

At the time of this photo,the grand duchesses were 15,17,13 & 19!
────୨ৎ────
The photos of the grand duchesses were taken by Boasson & Eggler,the official court photographers of the Russian Imperial family.
────୨ৎ────
In the 1914 formal photo session, the Grand Duchesses were photographed in traditional Russian court dress as part of a larger effort to promote national unity during World War I. The photos were intended to emphasize the Imperial family's Russian identity, as public sentiment was turning more nationalistic.
────୨ৎ────
Anastasia,the youngest, reportedly found the long photo sessions boring and tiring. In private letters and diary entries from family members and staff, it’s mentioned that she would sometimes fidget or make faces between shots!though, of course, none of that shows in the polished final portraits.
