There is such a disturbing legend about the treasure of Bloody Baron: After the fall of Admiral Piotr Wrangel, the traveler, writer and anticommunist, Ferdinand Ossendowski joined him in Urga in Mogolia. It is not certain, what Ossendowski was doing alongside Roman von Ungern-Sternerg. One theory say he was his "treasurer". And after that, when Bolsheviks smashed the Asian Horse Division in 1921 and killed Roman von Ungern und Sternberg, Ossendowski hid somewhere the treasury of the baron. One very interesting topic is his book: "PEOPLE, ANIMALS, GODS. " (as known as "Through the land of people, animals and gods") where author included a completely random photo of a mound of stones somewhere in the Mongolian steppe, one theory says that this picture, which does not match the contents of the book, shows the place where this huge treasure was buried.
@1984anansi Жыл бұрын
and also about the ring of Otüken. I think that Tolkien heard something about it for his book lord of the rings. Ossendowski talk about the "Master of the World" in his book : beasts, mens and Gods. In the History some mens had this ring, like Alexander the Great, Sargon, Gengis Khan, Timur Leng, and more recently Molotov. One of the rare heroes of the revolution who died AFTER Staline and had a long life...

I am Mongolian. And I think he was a great military leader and a real man. At the time he entered Mongolia, Bogd khan and Mongolian nobles supported him with money and horses, soldiers. Then He had about 4000 soldiers including Mongolian volunteers and he defeated the 10 thounsand Chinese soldiers(most of Chinese soldiers was chased and killed), after that he also defeated 5000 Chinese soldiers of reinforcements. Shortly after Mongolian communist took weapons from Soviets and tried to defeat him but they only managed to defeat him with red army support. Mongolian volunteers abandoned him because they had lost their reason to fight after all they already defeated Chinese. Also some of his men abandoned him to escape to the Manchuria. In the end, He was captured by Mongolian communists and handed to Soviets. He was hanged while wearing the yellow deel (Mongolian traditional costume) which Bogd Khan gave him as present.

His father was NOT Estonian. There was NOT such country as "Estonia" at that time. There was Estland - a province of Russia where Balticum Germans were ruling class at that time. In the cities only German was spoken, and a little Russian. The roots of Ungern-Sternberg family go back to the XIII century, and none of them was "Estonian". At the beginning of the 20th century the most of Balticum Germans were also Russian-speaking because they served Russia during 200 years. But none of them spoke Estonian. I think if you had called Roman von Ungern an Estonian you'ld have been immediately shot dead by him because he would have felt insulted by being called Estonian :-)

Who would have been the next Tsar if Nicholas II and Mikhail Romanov were already dead in 1918?

@RussianOrthodoxMonarchist Nope, he wasn't. He was a psychopath. People like him gave a bad name to the White cause and finally made the peasantsto stand with the Reds. The White Terror was the worst possible answer to the Red Terror.

When Mad Baron was bit by a venomous snake, after 7 days of excruciating pain, the snake died. When mad Baron had to move out of his parents house, he said to his father, "you're the man of the house now" I once had a dream where I fought The Mad Baron, after I woke up, I realized I had a black eye. When Mad Baron was gonna be a teenager, he sat down with his parents to give them "the talk" Mad Baron doesn't turn on the shower, he stares at it until it starts crying. Mad Baron wears sunglasses to protect the sun from his eyes.

Expelled from the Cossacks… I recall the old joke very popular among the Soviet children regarding a brutal and violent person , “He was expelled from the Gestapo for his excessive cruelty”.

В России до сих пор восхваляются большевики и их строй. Красная гидра еще в теле России. Благодарю за интересный рассказ о бароне Унгерне! Он, по моему убеждению, оклеветан, но правда восторжетсвует! In Russia, the Bolsheviks and their system are still praised. Red hydra is still in the body of Russia. Thank you for the interesting story about Baron Ungern! I am convinced that he is slandered, but the truth will be triumph!

You had me at, "this was a guy bullies were scared of." Then there’s the fights, the hashish, the Mongolian bodyguards. I’d have fell in with that crew....probably mutiny in the gobi. There’s apocalypse now. And there’s the mad baron.

You guys should do a piece on John Hines of the AIF. he is a colourful character with an entertaining story. The photo of him with his loot is one of the the most famous Australian photos of ww1. Love the show and I have learned so much. Keep it up.

Roman Von Ungern Sternberg, a descendent of medieval german teutonic knights, building his "buddhist" empire in Mongolia seems epic to me in a very sick way.
