Louis Mountbatten and The Romanovs
"These old family photograph albums bring back memories of all the happy times we had together in that almost unbelievable world before the Revolution."
"We used to see each other quite often either in Germany, or in Russia. I loved my Russian family and I loved Russia too"
"Olga, Marie, Anastasia and Tatiana were all very beautiful. I remember I had always secretly hoped to marry Marie."
"Yet anyone less like an autocrat than my uncle Nicky would be hard to imagine…he was a very, very kind-hearted simple charming man."
"He was never happier than when he was outside playing with his children. I remember he would purchase us all chocolate-ices, and after, settle down with a long book to read quietly in peace"
"And now, all that was finished. All the happy memories were things of the past…"
Lord Louis "Dickie" Mountbatten

Mohsen Yeganeh - Behet Ghol Midam (I Promise You)
Khodet mikhay beri, khatereshi, amma delet misoze,
You want to leave, you’re thinking about it, but you pity me,
Tazakor mikoni, asheghami, in baziye harooze,
You imagine you’re in love with me, this is your everyday game,
Natars, adam dame raftan hamash delshooreh migire,
Don’t be scared, one that is about to leave will always start worrying,
Dorooz begzare, in delshooreha az khateret mire,
Let two days pass, and your worries will leave your mind,
Behet ghol midam, sakht nist,
I promis you, it’s not hard,
Laghal baraye to,
At least for you,
Rahat bash, dooram az to ba donyaye to,
Feel at ease, I’m far away from you and your world,
Rahat bash, hishkas nemiyad jayeto,
Don’t worry, nobody will take your place,
Delshooreh daram, man vase fardaye to,
I worry about your tomorrow,
(2X)
Az esgh harchizi keh mishnasamo az man gerefti to,
You deprived me of everything I knew about love,
To baghi mondeye, ehsasamo az man gerefti o,
You took what was left of my feelings and,
Mikhay man bashio, yadet bere, mayi vojood dare,
You want to be a “me” and forget there ever was a “we”,
Khodet amadeye raftanio tarset nemizare,
You’re ready to leave, but your fear doesn’t let you,
Aslan natars, rahat boro biman,
Have no fear, leave me without fear,
Hishki bejoz to mano yadesh nist,
No one remembers me except you,
Fekr kardi ki az man khabar dare,
Who do you think is aware of me,
Rahat boro, hishki havasesh nist,
Leave with ease, no one is aware,
Behet ghol midam, sakht nist,
I promis you, it’s not hard,
Laghal baraye to,
At least for you,
Rahat bash, dooram az to ba donyaye to,
Feel at ease, I’m far away from you and your world,
Rahat bash, hishkas nemiyad jayeto,
Don’t worry, nobody will take your place,
Delshooreh daram, man vase fardaye to,
I worry about your tomorrow,
