Anastasia’s Ball is a comprehensive history documenting the genocidal crimes of Russin Intelligence, a document intended to deny the Russian Federation plausible deniability, and challenging world leaders to confront the great, global menace of our century.
Evoking Anastasia to represent the hundreds of millions of victims of Russian Intelligence reduces a one-hundred-year crime spree to personal proportions. There, at Anastasia’s Ball, we all realize just how pervasive the crimes of Russian Intelligence have been.
Anastasia never attended her ball, we all know that as a fact. But we are all numb to the fact none of us have lived the lives we would have, if Russian Intelligence had not gone criminally insane.
And still, a quarter of the way into the 21st Century, the nightmare which is Russian Intelligence continues, with chapters still unwritten and pending.
Anastasia’s Ball proposes it would have been better for all involved if Anastasia had attended her debutante ball.
Below I offer just the Anastasia’s Diary reanimation without commentary. I used AI software to age childhood photographs of Anastasia, then AI animation software to bring her to life. I wanted to remind everyone of the woman Anastasia would have become, and they life she should have been living, had Russian Intelligence not gone insane.
Finally, Anastasia herself invites the world’s musicians to oppose the insanity of Russian Intelligence by lending their creative voices to her own. Compose an original piece in the classical style and post it to You Tube under the hashtag Anastasia’s Ball. Write the score to the ball Anastasia didn’t live to attend and dedicate it to the thousands of children murdered by Russian intelligence just this year.
