People in uniform and reports from federal channels: public confusion from the wedding of the "descendant of the Romanov dynasty"
Already several days have passed since the wedding of a man who calls himself a descendant of the Romanov family, Georgy Mikhailovich, with a representative of the "noble family" of Italy, Rebecca Bettarini. But the days go by, and the hype around this event does not subside. The magnificent celebration caused a lot of questions from, let's say, the general public. Representatives of the expert community were also surprised at the “first wedding of the Romanovs in 120 years” in St. Isaac's Cathedral.
Lush dresses, hats, famous people surrounded by the "Grand Duke", a strange "honor guard", in respect of which the question is still not clear: these are real servicemen or representatives of "creative teams" dressed in military uniform.
After what they saw, many Russians exclaimed: "What was that all about?"
And the correspondent of TK "Zvezda" (and this is a federal channel) said so bluntly:
On the one hand, there is a lavish celebration that could have been typical of the mid-1990s, when the so-called “new Russians” could afford banquets in state museums. On the other hand, everything seems to be quite official. If there may still be questions about the guard (and not "mummers"), then there can be no questions about the police officers who actually guarded the guests of the ceremony and its main characters. There can be NO questions about the release of a commemorative medal on the occasion of the wedding.
It seemed that the "couple of Romanovs" could only rush in the troika to Pervoprestolnaya and arrange the distribution of rolls and bottling of kvass on the Khodynskoye field.
