I appreciate and honor the genetic disposition that Nature, Nature’s God, and my ascendants have gifted to me in the form of my DNA and physical characteristics known as race. Does not Anastasia speak on retaining pure genes or half-breeds at some point in the series? I’ll have to look into that further so I can give an exact quote. I am definitely not attempting to use the books to justify mere fantasies. It is clearly a theme in the books that Vladimir is a married man when he encounters Anastasia and conceives children with her. Anastasia neither condones nor condemns the practice of polygyny in the books, though she herself married and conceived children with an already married man, which is by definition polygyny. This in turn did eventually strengthen the bond and relationship that Vladimir had with his first wife, who he remains with, whether considered legitimate or not. Anastasia emphasizes purity and intention over carnal pleasures, not strict monogamy. But if I am wrong, please correct me while citing your source. With no possession and seeking of pleasure involved, would you also consider a loving man co-creating with pure intentions with more than one wife as a sin or “sick fantasy”?
