Anastasia Romanov

1500 are reported killed due to the conflict between Russia and Georgia -- a vital conduit for transporting oil into the Caspian Sea. The conflict has not only been a war of arms but one that has included cyber warfare. The Georgian government began shutting down Russian government websites at the inset of the fighting. The long storied strife between the central government and the people of the region is reminiscent of the legend of Anastasia, the last remaining heir to the Romanov dynasty. Princess Anastasia and her family were reportedly killed by the Bolsheviks in 1918, but somehow, she, the youngest daughter managed to survive as the the legend goes. Many people have claimed to be Anastacia including Germany's Anna Anderson who died in the Dalldorf Asylum in 1984 and could not read or speak languages becoming of a Russian princess. Anderson's remains could not pass a DNA test years after she died. The legend of Anastsia has helped to keep the memory of her father Czar Nicolas II in the public consciousness years after his fateful overthrown.
