The Count and Countess use the initials H.I.H. or His (Her) Illustrious Highness and are addressed as “Highness” or by ranking clergy as “Grace”. They are also the principles for the re-creation of the Order of St. Anna. http://www.imperialhouse.ru/rus/dynastyhistory/honoursaward/honours/249.htmlThe Order of St. Anna fell out of use after the fall of Czar Nicholas II. The Order of St. Anna (or "Order of Saint Ann"; Russian: Орден Ñ?вÑ?той Ð?нны) was a Holstein and then Russian order of chivalry established by Karl Friedrich, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp on 14 February 1735, in honour of his wife Anna Petrovna, daughter of Peter the Great of Russia. The motto of the Order was "Amantibus Justitiam, Pietatem, Fidem" ("To those who love justice, piety, and fidelity"). Its festival day was 3 February. The recreation of the order aims to assist children in need, through financial contributions. The Mospak family originally derived it’s noble standing in the Imperial Russian Court under the names of Trubilov and Zaretskii http://feefhs.org/blitz/blitznob.html. Mospak being of the origins of Ruthenia. Ruthenia was a mixture of Ukrainian and Polish traditions following the Greek Catholic Church better known as Orthodoxy. The Count and Countess of Mangup are both devote Orthodox Christians. Nobility in our time may only be granted by monarchial heads of state, The Pope of Rome or Orthodox Patriarchs with the noted addition of Orthodox Bishops who are princes of the church and abbots who are heads of holy cities of Christ.
