		Maria Vladimirovna of Russia is the 108th heir in the Line of Succession to the British Throne.

	THE RUSSIAN SUCCESSION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Confirmation of the restrictions on the marriages of Grand Dukes, however, did not mean that the restrictions were lifted for others, and Princes of Russia were not only required to marry persons of "corresponding rank" but their issue were given a new name and arms.
		Grand Duke Wladimir asserted his claim to the Headship of the Imperial House as the primogeniture male heir of Alexander II of Russia.
		Hence the Grand Duke's advice in 1946 regarding the status of the Bagrations seems entirely reasonable; since he alone had the authority to interpret the laws of the Dynasty it was not for the more junior dynasts to challenge his decision.

	The Succession Question
		Furthermore, criticism has been often levelled whether justly or not at the Grand Duke Kirill with regard to his breaking the oath of allegiance to the Emperor Nicholas II in 1917 and his assumption of the imperial title in 1924 which was against the express wishes of the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna.
		In order to avoid the Austrian example where all members of the Imperial House were designated Archdukes, in Russia only sons and daughters or grandsons and granddaughters (in the male line) of a reigning Emperor were permitted to the rank of Grand Duke or Grand Duchess and the qualification of Imperial Highness.
		In accordance with the laws of succession to the Imperial House of Russia the undisputed head of the family is His Highness Prince Nicholas Romanovich, son of the late Prince Roman Petrovich and Grandson of the Grand Duke Peter Nikolaievich.

		The grand duchess is a direct descendent of Tsar Alexander II and a first cousin twice removed of Tsar Nicholas II, who was assassinated in 1918 with his wife and children by the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution.
		I think the main reason of the other Romanovs dispute with Maria is not just that she is a woman who want equal rights in a Romanov Man's world, but that it was her inmediate family the ones welcome and protected by the new Russian lords.
		Maria, as you see in the first post, is the most outspoken pro Romanov restoration in the entire family.

		On one side of the split stands Grand Duchess Leonida Georgiyevna, 84, and her daughter Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, 45, an Oxford graduate who lives in Madrid with her son, Prince Georgy Hohenzollern-Romanov, 17.

		On the other side of the fence stands Grand Duke Nikolai Romanovich Romanov, 76, who, as a republican, does not believe in the restoration of the monarchy in Russia - even though he would be a b contender for the throne were that to happen.

		Vladimirovna’s message was basically the same: The restoration of a monarchy – along with the revival of Russia’s traditions of a communal work ethic, belief in the Russian Orthodox Church, and respect for authority – is the best was to foster Russia’s renewal.

		As neither Anna nor Yelizaveta produced a male heir, the succession could devolve either on a Brunswick nephew of Anna (Ivan VI of Russia) or on a Holstein nephew of Yelizaveta (Peter III of Russia), who was also an heir presumptive to the thrones of Sweden and Holstein.

	On Specific Issues Within Monarchism
		As his only child, Maria’s position would seem clear; unfortunately the matter is complicated by the question of whether her father’s marriage to Princess Leonida Bagration-Moukhransky was in fact an equal marriage.
		It should be noted that his mother seems to regard her role as being that of guardian of her son’s rights rather than the claimant herself; therefore, if the Russian people ever desire a Romanov restoration, it would probably be to Georg (Emperor Georgiy I) that they would turn.
		It is certainly significant that Maria Vladimirovna and her son are actively interested in a restoration of the Russian monarchy, whereas Nicholas Romanovich is a republican and has no desire to be tsar, insisting only that he is the head of the family.
