Anna-Anastaia: the old and new versions and discussion

«The first work about hallux valgus has been published by doctor Laforest in 1778. The largest works in XX century are D.E.Shklovsky's monography (1937), E.I.Zajtsev's(1959) and G.N. Kramarenko's (1970) dissertations. Working in the Central scientific research institute of traumatology and orthopedy of Ministry of Health of the USSR, Galina Nikolaevna Kramarenko has processed the statistical material collected as a result of mass inspections of women on diseases of static deformation of feet. In result she has obtained the following data. Hallux valgus, as a rule, appears at women of 30-35 years old. G. Kramarenko has found out, that the "isolated" hallux valgus 0,95 % suffer from number of the surveyed women. And the first degree of illness has been fixed at 89 %, and the third degree (case AA and ANR) only at 1,6 % from among the women having the given disease. Thus, one of 6500 women (in the age more senior than 30 years) suffers from this illness.

As to cases of congenital disease (case of AA and ANR), these cases are individual and meet extremely seldom. In head establishment of Russia on this problem the Research institute of children's orthopedic of a name of G.I. Turner for last ten years it is registered only eight cases of this disease. – And it is on hundred fifty millions [more exactly, on 142 million – B.R.] inhabitants of Russia».

Thus, the statistics of a congenital case «hallux valgus» makes 8:142 000000, or, approximately, 1:17 750000! Thus, Anna Anderson really was GD Anastasia with such probability (99,9999947)! By the way, this Research institute of children's orthopedic of a name of G.I. Turner is in Tsarskoe Selo where on June 5 (18), 1901 in 6 A.M. Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova was born. It is very probable, that children's doctor Henry Ivanovich Turner (1858-1941) examined imperial children in the beginning of XX century in the Aleksandrovsky palace and diagnosed «hallux valgus» to small Anastasia…

The above mentioned statistics practically put down the negative results of the DNA-tests which have been carried out with the remains of some of her body-materials in 1994-1997 – because those years reliability of DNA-researches did not exceed 1:6000 – in three thousand times less authentically, than statistics of "glass slippers" of Anna-Anastasia!

And, finnaly, the statistics of congenital «hallux valgus» is actually the statistics of facts\artefacts (there are not doubts here) while DNA-researches are a complex (and difficult) procedure at which the opportunity of casual genetic pollution of initial materials is impossible to exclude, and even their ill-intentioned substitution.

In conclusion:

As you can see, I am a supporter of Anna Anderson, and I think, she really was the Grand Duchess Anastasia. However, it is also clear that my opinions (expressed above) are not the "ultimate truth." My personal statements are only my value judgments. This also applies to my criticism of certain persons mentioned in this brochure.

Also, I apologize to the readers for my imperfect English.
