Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova.   Revelation

                  Just as well, the little boy also did not know that his father made him a precious
            gift – an incredibly "variegated" Family Tree, which his distant ancestors had woven
            for him, as if preparing the boy beforehand to perform some special and "great" deeds,
            thus  laying  on  his  fragile  shoulders  an  enormous  responsibility  to  those  who  had
            zealously woven his "genetic filament" uniting their lives in one strong and proud
            Tree…

                  He was a direct descendant of the great Merovingians, born in pain and poverty
            and surrounded by the death of his relatives and the pitiless cruelty of people who killed
            them. But it did not change the fact of who this newly-born man truly was.
                  His amazing dynasty began in the year 300 (!) A.D. with the Merovingian king
            Соnan  I.  (A  4  volume  manuscript  composed  by  the  famous  French  genealogist
            Norigres which is kept in our home library in France confirms this fact). His Family
            Tree grew and spread out intertwining in its branches such names as Dukes de Rohan
            of France, Marquises Farnese of Italy, Lords Strafford of England, Russian Princes
            Dolgoryki, Odoevsky and many others, part of who even the most skilled genealogists
            in  the  world  –  the  British  ones  from  the  Rоyal  College  of  Arms  were  unable  to
            trace.They  joked  that  it  was  the  most  "international"  family  tree  they  ever  had  to
            compile.

                  It seems to me that this "mishmash" did not happen by chance. In fact all so-called
            noble  families  had  very  high-quality  genetics  which, when  mixed  correctly, could
            create  a  very  high-  quality  genetic  foundation  for  their  descendants’  spirits.
            Fortunately my father was one of those descendants.
                  Most likely the "international" mixing gave a much better genetic result than a
            purely "family" one which has been an "unwritten law" for all European noble families
            for a very long time and very often ended in hereditary haemophilia...
                  But  no  matter  how  "international"  my  father’s  physical  foundation  was,  his
            SOUL (I can say it with all responsibility) was truly Russian to the end of his life
            despite all, even the most amazing, genetic combinations.

                  But let’s come back to Siberia where the "little prince", born in the basement, one
            fine day became Vasiliy Vasilievich Seriogin, a citizen of the Soviet Union, in order
            to survive and by unconditional consent of Vasiliy Nikandrovitch Seriogin’s generous
            and kind heart. He had this name all his conscious life and was buried as such under a
            tombstone with the inscription "Seriogin’s family" in the little Lithuanian town, Alitus,
            far from the family castles about which he never heard...
                  Unfortunately I knew about all that only in 1997 and by that time my dad was not
            among the living. My cousin Prince Pierre de Rohan-Brissac who had been looking for
            me for years invited me to Malta and told me who my family and I truly are. I shall tell
            about it later.

                  Meanwhile we shall return to the place where in 1927 Anna and Vasiliy Seriogin,
            the people with kindest hearts, had only one concern – to keep the word they gave to
            their dead friends and to do their best to take little Vasiliok out of this land "cursed by
            God and people" into a relatively safe place and later to get him to distant and unknown
            France...  So  they  began  their  difficult  journey    and,  on  using  the  help  of  local
            connections and friends, took my little dad to Perm where they lived for several years,
