The novel von Ungern-Sternberg was a Russian military who became famous for his cruelty, mysticism and anti-communist views during the Civil War. In 1921, he briefly seized power in Mongolia, expelled Chinese troops, and proclaimed himself a rescuer of the Buddhist world. For his fanatical cruelty, he was nicknamed "Crazy Baron" and "God of War". Leoni says she knew from her childhood about her roots, but did not immediately decide to speak publicly about the dark side of family history.
"Being a relative of such a notorious person, I constantly lazy between personal interest, public opinion and historical nuances. I did not choose my ancestry, but I chose to explore it. I do not glorify my ancestor, but I want to understand and start talking about how we remember. " In social networks, Leoni was reacted violently. "Seeing the descendant of the Crazy Baron in Tiktok is like a delusion," "I would never think that I would face Sternberg in Tiktok," "Crazy Baron was bloodthirsty.
Leoni herself, who now studies at the Master in the field of geopolitics and international trade, emphasizes that her goal is not a ancestral rehabilitation, but a conscious and honest conversation about the complex past. "I am not here to protect the past, but to learn, ask questions and share their view on a story that many do not know about," she notes. Earlier, Focus reported that the popular blogger threw his son out of the cliff to teach courage.
