We believe that we are a valid order of chivalry, as we have been constituted by a person with fons honorum. We pursue the Russian Tradition of the Order of St John, that acknowledges the bulk of Knights who were in Malta in 1798, moved to St Petersberg after Napoleon took Malta, and that the Order was perpetuated in Russian society.
We accept that alternate views exist.
Why? Megalomania perhaps.
