The Russian Imperial House gave an assessment of the joke of blogger Stas Vasiliev, known as "Oh, how simple!", which was broadcast on the channel "Solovyov Live". Alexander Zakatov, director of the Chancellery of the Romanov House, commented on this.
He uttered the blogger's words that caused a negative reaction as part of the show "Did you see it?" on the Solovyov Live channel on November 13. Reacting to the discussion in the State Duma of the ban on advertising the services of tarologists, he recalled that Empress Alexandra Feodorovna was fond of various "magicians and prophets", who hoped to alleviate the condition of Tsarevich Alexei, a patient with hemophilia. Vasiliev "finds it ironic" that he was "cured of his illnesses not by fortune-tellers, but by the Bolsheviks, no kidding, with lead."
"It is clear, of course, that this is blasphemy and an insult to religious feelings. But even if it were not about the tsarevich, but about any child, such a mockery of the martyrdom of a little man is a disgusting phenomenon," the Daily Storm telegram channel quotes the representative of the imperial house as saying.
According to Zakatov, people like the blogger himself, and those who give him the opportunity to say such things on the air, "have excluded themselves from the number of decent people forever."
"This is an abomination. Maybe with such statements, people expect that outrages will begin and this will bring them hype. But everything will be decided on the scales of God sometime. So in vain they do it. Such people simply cause squeamish pity," concluded the head of the chancellery of the House of Romanov.
Earlier, Boris Korchevnikov, Director General of the Spas TV channel, reacted to Vasiliev's statements. According to him, the blogger crossed himself out "not only from people who have the right to be called journalists," but also simply from people. The writer and author of the telegram channel "Sons of the Monarchy" Roman Antonovsky also harshly commented on Vasiliev's text.
