42. See Cohen, New York Times, March 28, 1926. Cohen claimed to have heard details of the visits not only from Rathlef-Keilmann but also from the Gilliards at the Danish legation, an unlikely assertion that has proved impossible to verify. Aside from erroneously claiming that Frau Tchaikovsky had not been warned in advance of her visitors, and had greeted Olga Alexandrovna by name, Cohen’s article inaccurately insisted, among other things, that the patient «bears bullet wounds on her body and scars of a knife on her face and skull»; that Professor Serge Rudnev had treated Anastasia in 1914; and that while delirious, the patient had spoken in Russian to Professor Rudnev – the latter something that, had it actually occurred, would certainly have been noted by Rathlef-Keilmann.
