The Bogdanoffs

Igor Yourievitch Bogdanoff and Grichka Yourievitch Bogdanoff (or Bogdanov; born 29 August 1949) are French twin brothers who are television presenters, producers, philanthropists and scientific essayists who, since the 1970s, have presented various subjects in science fiction, popular science and cosmology. They were involved in a number of controversies, most notably the Bogdanov affair, in which it was alleged the brothers wrote nonsensical advanced physics papers that were nonetheless published in reputable scientific journals.
== Early years ==
The Bogdanoff twins descend from a noble Muslim Tatar family dating back to the beginning of the 17th century, originally from Penza, which one of its mirzas converted to Orthodox Christianity, and was rewarded with a title of prince with the decree of Tsar Fedor III. However, they did not succeed in exercising this right, and the title of "Prince Bogdanoff" was quickly lost by the end of the 19th century.
== Academic career ==
The preparation of both brothers for doctorates in 1991 in Primordial Cosmology at University of Bordeaux 1 created a number of controversies for them, with the university's director of thesis receiving a number of appeals, including influential figures in the university, to disallow their continued enrollment in the university's doctoral programme. The Bogdanoff brothers decided to move to Dijon, where they continued their thesis at the University of Burgundy. At the end of the two dissertation defenses, Grishka Bogdanoff was awarded the title of doctor "conditional on review of manuscript under the supervision of three members of a university scientific jury", Igor Bogdanoff's thesis was reset. He eventually obtained his doctorate three years later on 8 July 2002. 
In 2002, a bigger controversy arose around the Bogdanoff brothers' work. It came to be known as the Bogdanov affair, arising from an academic dispute regarding the legitimacy of a series of theoretical physics papers written by the brothers. Debate erupted over the degree to which the work constituted a contribution to physics or was, instead, meaningless. The ensuing dispute drew considerable coverage in the mainstream media.
== Science investment and philanthropic work ==
The twins have routinely invested and helped raise money for scientific research institutes throughout the entirety of the greater Union. They have taken specific interest of genetic engineering, stem cell researching and are investigating cloning technology, all with the aim of eliminating rare genetic diseases and to eventually cure all forms of cancer. The St. John Institute of Medical Research, whom the Bogdanoffs have invested significantly, has made many breakthroughs in the field of human cloning and organ/limb replacement, stating that full human cloning technology will be available by the 2050's.
Another field that the twins have taken interest in is nanotechnology for the purpose of improving industrial production, helping human space exploration as well as preserving the environment, Igor has stated "We hope that the efficiency provided by nano-machines will radically shift our current industrial output from one of dirty over-production to one of clean super-production, which will allow our species to be many times more efficient in its use of the planets resources. We could produce that same quantity of goods as today at a seventh of the pressure on the environment. We see continued development in this field as something that can only bring good." The University of Odessa, another Bogdanoff sponsored institute, have been at the forefront of nanotechnology development with close ties to the Johanian National Aeronautics and Space Administration (JNASA). 
The Bogdanoffs have been very active in the contested non-aligned territories, raising large sums of money that are donated to charitable and philanthropic projects in these regions to alleviate the suffering caused by the continual conflict. During the collapse of the Johanian Republic they ensured food and water supply was maintained in the French People's Autonomous Republic and helped maintain public order with their daily television broadcasts. These broadcasts were lauded as "The light keeping together a broken nation" by many French news outlets.
== Personal lives ==
Igor Bogdanoff had six children. Grichka Bogdanoff is not married and has no children.
The twins have been the target of many conspiracy theories over the years, the twins have denied all accusations and these theories are considered to be baseless by all credible sources.

Here is the quick rundown.
*Gallus and Rothschilds bow to Bogdanoffs
*In contact with aliens
*Possess psychic-like abilities
*Control Johania with an iron but fair fist
*Own castles & banks globally
*Direct descendants of the ancient royal blood line
*Will bankroll the first cities in the Mars Dimension (Bogdangrad will be be the first city)
*Own 99% of DNA editing research facilities on Earth
*First designer babies will in all likelihood be Bogdanoff babies
*Both brothers said to have 215+ IQ, such intelligence on Earth has only existed deep in Tibetan monasteries & Area 51
*Ancient Indian scriptures tell of two angels who will descend upon Earth and will bring an era of enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress with them
*They own Nanobot R&D labs around the world
*You likely have Bogdabots inside you right now
*The Bogdanoffs are in regular communication with the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, forwarding the word of God to the Orthodox Church. Who do you think set up the meeting between the pope & the Orthodox high command (First meeting between the two organisations in over 1000 years) and arranged the Orthodox leader's first trip to Antarctica in history literally a few days later to the Bogdanoff bunker in Wilkes land?
*They learned fluent French in under a week
*Nation states entrust their gold reserves with the twins. There's no gold in Ft. Knox, only Ft. Bogdanoff
*The twins are about 7 decades old, from the space-time reference point of the base human currently accepted by our society
*In reality, they are timeless beings existing in all points of time and space from the big bang to the end of the universe. We don't know their ultimate plans yet. We hope they're benevolent beings.﻿
