	Russian tradition of the Knights Hospitaller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The special relationship between the Knights of Malta and the crown of Russia continued into the 18th century.
		In 1789, Bailiff Count Giulio Renato de Litta, while on an official visit from the Knights of Malta, assisted with the reorganization of Russia's Baltic Fleet, and later served as a commander with the Russian Imperial Navy in the war against Sweden.
		On 24th June 1928, a group of 12 Russian Hereditary Commanders met in Paris to re-establish the activities of the Russian Grand Priory.

		The Knights are the youth wing of Russian National Unity, the country's most militant ultranationalist party, whose modified swastika emblems, fl uniforms, and raised-arm salutes strike a discordant tone in a nation where Adolf Hitler's aggression claimed 20 million lives a half-century ago.
		Russian National Unity is frequently described as the best-organized of Russia's radical nationalist groups, with a wide following among those most familiar with armed force: the army, the police, and the Federal Security Service.
		Leaders of the Stavropol organization have told the Russian news media that party members were well-entrenched in the local government, and in police and army units in the area.

	Survival of Russian Tradition
		In 1976 a fresh initiative in the life of the Russian Grand Priory was embarked upon by Count Nicholas A. Bobrinskoy, an Hereditary Commander (a descendant of the Empress Catherine the Great), who had discussed the need for continuing its activities with a number of other Hereditary Commanders.
		With the critics of the Russian tradition, the claim to any hereditary title is dismissed as a misunderstanding of the term 'jus patronat'.
		James Algrant's survey of evidence for the survival of a Russian tradition until 1917 speaks for itself, but by confusing the genuine continuation after the Russian Revolution with the groups he apply describes as apocryphal, he discounts its further survival.

		The Russian Knights also successfully turned back a force of K'dan aircraft that were attacking a naval base on the Baltic.
		The base was destroyed, but the Russian Knights were able to stall the attack long enough for the base to be evacuated.

	The Web Surfers Guide to the Knights Hospitaller.
		Rhodes was captured by Islamic forces in 1522, and the Knights took to wandering until the Island of Malta was granted to them, as a vassal State of Emperor Charles V of Spain in 1530.
		The Russian Emperor Paul I sheltered a group of Knights, and was elected Grand Master, with others remaining loyal to the Grand Master - Ferdinand von Hompesch, who abdicated in 1799.
		The other point to make is that in 1928 Noble Russian exiles gathered in Paris, with the support of the cousin of the successor to the throne, Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovitch, and claimed to reconvene the activities of the Russian Grand Priory (founded by Emperor Paul I).

		It was known as an ancient fortified town identified in the Russian Chronicles as Nowo-Horodok, in Latin documents as Parva Novogardia or Neogardia, and to Polish historians as Lithuanian Nowogrodek or Krivician Nowogrodek.
		In 1314, Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights Heinrich von Plotzke conceived an idea for the 'conquest of the Rus' in the upper reaches of the Nieman, and with highly skilled soldiers marched through the deep forests to distant Nowogrodek, burning the town.
		Due to the loss of their most courageous knights, their increasing panic at the skillfulness of their opponents, and at last from numerous plagues, sickness and starvation, they were put to flight into the wilderness.

	LIGHT ON THE OSJ
		First, there are Knights of Justice, who take the three religious vows and form the strictly religious nucleus of the Order; second, there are Knights of Honor and Devotion who are required to furnish proof of ancient nobility; third, there are Knights of Magistral Grace who are affiliated with the Order.
		On March 10, 1810 the properties of the two Russian Priories were confiscated and on February 1, 1817, a resolution of the Russian Committee of Ministers, approved by the Czar, pointed out in passing that the Russian Grand Priory no longer existed in the Russian Empire.
		In the former case, we have presented evidence which indicates that the term "hereditary commander" did not exist in Russian legal terminology, and have shown that the "rights of patronage" which did exist were limited to citizens of the Russian Empire who met certain strict conditions.

		The titles of Russian nobility (Count, Prince and etc,) are not governed by the principle of primogeniture (firstborn male inherits the title), but on the basis that nobility breeds nobility.
		The group of surviving Russian Hereditary Commanders gathered in Paris in 1928, to continued the activities of the Russian Grand Priory in exile, and sought to re-establish a regular authority for themselves.
		This practice is not novum, and is a part of the Russian tradition created by Emperor Paul I. In December of 1798, in the creation of the Commanderies, which was to form the Russian Grand Priory, Paul did not restrict the institution to 'Orthodox' Nobles, but opened it out to all Russian Nobles.

	Patronage of the OSJ by the Karageorgevitch House.
		What is in question is the subsequent status of any group of Knights claiming to operate under the Constitution given by the King, after his death in 1970, given that the Head of the Yugoslavian Royal Dynasty will not support any continuing group, thus removing the "fons honorum".
		The basis for this patronage, is the claim that the relics of the OSJ were passed from the House of Romanoff to the House of Karageorgevitch during the Russian Revolution, and furthermore that the trusteeship of the relics belongs to the Head of the Karageorgevitch family.
		Even though some Russian Hereditary Commanders have had contact with, or even been members of the King Peter group, quite separate from the issue of the King Peter tradition of St. John, is the continuation of the authentic Russian tradition via the Hereditary Commanders of the Russian Grand Priory.
