Your report (2 October) on the Russian government's rehabilitation of its country's last tsar, Nicholas II and his family was welcome and seemingly accurate, to a degree.
With regard to the appalling international treatment of the late Anna Anderson, who claimed to be "the surviving Grand Duchess Anastasia", starting in the 1920s, I suspect the Romanov descendants and fellow European royals were more interested in the whereabouts of the lost imperial fortune than allowing a traumatised old lady to go to her grave with dignity; that of being her true self.
