The king has died... Long live the king!
The king has died... Long live the king!
Our eight climbers and ten pilots have appeared hostages
Bloody Nepalese events.
"It is said that here there was a queen from Nepal", - Vysotsky sang
In a song about Odessa. The chronicle has not informed to us, whether walked and
Indeed a royal couple of a ruling Nepalese dynasty in 1958
On the Odessa parkways when king Mahendra with the queen have put
Visit to the USSR. The present generation of Russians will recollect more likely the king
Birendru which warmly met in Moscow in the autumn of 1976. On
To reportings its Nepalese suit was remembered: a striped hat
"Bog", narrow white trousers and a long white shirt. And especially -
Timid smile on polnovatom the person.
Now king Birendra Bir Bikram the Shah п п п is dead. It is killed together with
Queen Ajshvarja Radzhja Lakshmi Devi the Shah and practically all
Members of a family, except for the brother of king Gjanendry. That has not got
Under the automatic turn which has sent in the world of shades of all its relatives,
Only because during a fatal feast walked on
To national park. He also has inherited the become empty throne. Death
The most august Nepalese couple has called a wave of a genuine grief in
The Nepal - the high-mountainous Himalaya kingdom clamped
Between India and Tibet, - also has set a puzzle to fans
Political detectives. Voices, that the unique are already distributed
Survived, the brother of the king and the uncle of "prince-murderer" Dipendry, became
The originator of this tragedy. The prince who was in a clod after
Self-destructive shot in a head, has died next day
After slaughter in a royal palace. Or it has disconnected from the device
Artificial maintenance someone's compassionate hand? It only
Guesses. True - in a fog. Official "court yard" tries
To extend absolutely the improbable version, that б destruction
Royal family, unprecedented in world history on number
Victims since times of murder of the Russian dynasty of Romanovs, is
Only accident. Ostensibly someone from protection casually
Has pressed an automatic machine cock. And continued to press casually to
That time, while all who sat at a dining table, not polegli
The dead. Including "prince-murderer", which actually
The same victim, as well as its unfortunate family.
* * * ... Late king Birendra was born on December, 28th, 1945 in
To family of crown prince Mahendry and princess Indry, and it it is possible
To name one of the most picturesque and, if not the tragical
The б destruction, one of most "safe" of the existed
Hitherto ruling monarchs. In the beginning 90 it has managed to rescue the country from
Civil war, having established constitutional monarchy. Since then
The power with a crown in the country have divided centrist party
"The Nepalese Congress" and oppositional "Incorporated Left front".
Both that, and another last years have much spoilt blood
maoisty, the capitals Katmandus which have developed in vicinities
Guerrilla war in which course last years was lost nearby
1700 persons. It, however, has not frightened off the numerous from Nepal
Tourists and especially the climbers, dreaming to ascend on most
High in the world mountain top the Everest, on-nepalski - Sagarmatha.
Tourists also involve uncountable induistskie and Buddhist
Sanctuaries and especially the birthplace of the Buddha in Lumbini. Therefore
Brutal slaughter-house in the royal family, the carried away life of the king
Birendry, already called demonstrations and excitements among the population and
Patrols in capital streets, threatens to turn back for the small country
Accident.
At it was three sisters and two brothers. Mother of the successor of a throne
Has lived not for long, and it was brought up by the stepmother - queen Ratna.
Birendra went to school St. Joseph in a known Indian city
Darjeeling, then - 5 years in the well-known Eton college in
England. Year trained in Harward, studying economy and
Management. So the late king was not a smart figure. It
Personally Mao Tszeduna, Dzhavaharlala Nehru knew Tito, Sukarno. Was
It is accepted in royal family of the Great Britain and imperial -
Japan. And though it is impossible to tell, that the board of king Birendry was
Cloudless, nothing foretold to it to so awful fate. It
It has been prepared from that day, when on June, 27th, 1971 volleys from guns
Have announced joyful event - a birth of the crown prince
Dipendry. That Dipendry which ostensibly also has shot the king
The-reformer, and at the same time mother, the brother and sister and several
Relatives in addition.
Dipendra, as well as his father, studied in Eton (specialisation -
Geography), recently wrote the thesis for a doctor's degree. Here
It, by the way, had reputation very kind and cheerful
The guy who was the informal leader in the student's companies.
In 1990 by monarchical favour has been appointed general
The colonel of Nepalese army, the head of National board on
To sports, Royal golf club and the Nepalese Olympic
Committee. As it is got in aristocratic families, never
Avoided high arts: was interested in poetry, was learnt to play
On a guitar and the piano.
One of close fellow students kronprintsa has been shocked and in any way
Could not believe, that Dipendra could make the such. However,
Other graduate of Eton knowing Dipendru, has noticed, that with the visitor
From Nepal it would be better not to quarrel: it had a black belt on
Karate. Besides, the prince had an unusual confidence in
To itself(himself), and it could make such that mere mortals have not dared
To itself to allow. It is probable, as the future king it has been assured,
That in the struggle for a hand of young beauty Deviani, against which
His family acted, it all the same will manage to achieve the. Not
Left: the hereditary king has stayed hardly more than days, and that in a clod,
And its beloved, speak, it is taken away in the unknown person
Direction. The king has died. At first - king Birendra, then -
King Dipendra. Now - it agree to the logician - long live
King Gjanendra!
Ours in a city!
All Nepal - in mourning. As we were informed by the ambassador of Russia in Nepal
Vladimir Ivanov, in embassy (here only 19 employees and them
Families) some times already called the Russian tourists, in
Confusions asking as to conduct in these conditions. "We
All have informed, that in case of emergency it
It is necessary to make the way directly in embassy ".
Besides, in Nepal under the contract with local airlines
Our helicopter crews work some. In a difficult situation
Our 10 pilots who are in the west of the country in have got
"Unsuccessful" as it was characterised by the ambassador, area. There
Flash of military actions is planned. And in this case embassy
namereno to evacuate our children.
Practically in a trap in one of hotels of Katmandu have appeared
Our eight climbers who have subdued (for the first time in history
Mountaineering!) "vosmitysjachnik". "I advised to them not to leave yet
From hotel, - the ambassador has told. - in an excitement city, also operates
Curfew... "In Katmandu there is a Center of the Russian
Cultures where too there are our compatriots.
The embassy located near to well protected
Residences of the prime minister, is in quiet area, and it
Anything yet does not threaten safety.
* * * Under data arriving from Nepal, a message about death
The king povergla the population in a shock. One man in Narajanghate,
Having heard news about royal family execution, has committed suicide.
On Sunday to a royal palace where till June, 10th will be
To be stored the special book of condolences, were built
Huge crowds of grieving Nepaleses. The state employee of a male
Have suggested to shave heads as a sign of mourning for the king and the queen.
Some simple inhabitants have made it voluntary. One hundred smoothfaced
Motorcyclists has driven across Katmandu, demanding to close shops and
Crying out on the move: "Long live a monarchy!"And"death
To murderers! ".
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has asked not to spend Nepaleses in
The next 13 days of any celebrations and not to arrange weddings. In
Monday in the morning in official newspapers of Nepal it has been published
The message on death Dipendry, were in a clod and crowned
After murder of king Birendry. In target western agencies
Wrote, that life Dipendry is supported artificial by, and
Its regent Gjanendre should solve, whether to disconnect the prince from
The volume ventilator or not. Obviously, regent
The choice has made.
In Sunday on one of streets Katmandus there has passed demonstration with
Public burning of release of the Indian newspaper which have described
Details of a bloody slaughter-house. After funeral of the king and the queen
Many inhabitants of Katmandu were afraid, that in a city the chaos will begin, and
Have hastened to be reserved by products and kerosene, but, as the big
The part of shops has been closed, in few open have crowded
Turns.
Now much depends on how will lead itself new
The governor, the brother of killed king Gjanendra.
The uncle of the most fair rules.
Gjanendre already it was necessary to be the king of Nepal once. However, it
It was absolutely short and very much for a long time. In November, 1950, when
Gjanendre was only four years, it was crowned by the prime minister after
How them with the brother the general father king Mahendra ran to India.
However, in February of 51st Mahendra already has returned back, and
It was necessary to the small king to give of reins of government in charge the father.
In May, 1970 he married princess Komal, sister killed
Queens Ajshvari.
Gjanendra, in the past the inveterate hunter, recently it is sharp
Has changed the reference points and became the defender of the nature. Now it
Heads Fund of preservation of the nature of a name of king Mahendry and
Britansko-Nepalese society. As well as other members of the royal
Dynasties, Gjanendra was the admirer of various arts and even
Itself scribbled sometimes rhymes under G.Shah's pseudonym.
Many local analysts right after royal family funeral
Began to speak about unique and unique chance for Nepal
To reach the consent between struggling parties and to overcome
Economic backwardness and poverty. Present chaos, when
Many Nepaleses cannot believe till now in death of the
The monarch, it is very favourable maoistskim to insurgents. Maoisty suspect
In murder Birendry and his families of prime minister Giridzhu Prasad
Koiralu (one more version) which ostensibly was going to to use
Army in struggle against "national war", and liberal views
King Birendry did not allow it to make it.
However the local press asserts, that Gjanendra possesses
Strong character also it is capable to show backbone.
The opposition even is rather afraid, that this hardness can become
The excessive: having learnt, that half-dead Dipendry is appointed by the regent it
The uncle, representatives of opposition have demonstrated, being afraid of threat
Authoritarianism.
On the Nepalese flag representing two red
Triangle, the sun and the moon are represented. Thereby it is underlined,
That dynasties radzhej, correcting the country from an extreme antiquity,
Go back to lunar and solar sorts. Or, speaking in other words,
Nepalese kings rule podlunnym and sunflower over the worlds. And
Somewhere there among these worlds now the spirit sadly wanders
Unfortunate king Birendry, whose death, probably, so for ever and
Remains a terrible and bloody riddle.
