But her extraordinary murder, combined with a string of confusing propaganda and poorly conducted investigations, opened the door for numerous impostors seeking to lay claim to the Romanov name and fortune. Indeed, Anna Anderson, as the most famous of these impostors came to be known, kept up her charade for years, through the press and even the German court system, until her death...

Russian embassy staffers showered him with roses, thrust out carnations. Dobrynin lost no time in dispensing his own roses. Smiling graciously and speaking in slightly accented English, he quoted Thomas Jefferson on the "remarkable similarity" between Americans and Russians, extended "the friendly greetings of my people." Then he climbed into a black Zil limousine and sped off to the Soviet embassy...
