A social media influencer has gone viral after revealing she’s related to one of history’s most feared warlords.

Leonie von Ungern-Sternberg, 29, stunned TikTok viewers after casually confessing that she’s a descendant of Roman von Ungern-Sternberg – the so-called “God of War” who briefly ruled Mongolia in the 1920s.

Born in Germany and currently living in Spain, Leonie posted a video on 27 June in which she reflected on her complex and unusual family history.

The post has since gone viral, garnering 1.3 million views.

And viewers have been left fascinated by the bizarre ancestral twist.

In the clip, Leonie explained that while she’s always known she was related to the infamous figure, it took her time to dig into the darker details.

“It’s complicated, of course,” she told What’s the Jam.

“Being related to someone so infamous means I’m constantly navigating between personal curiosity, public perception, and historical nuance.

“I didn’t choose my lineage, but I did choose to explore it.

“It’s not my intention to glorify it, but to understand it and maybe open conversations about how history is remembered.

“I’m not here to defend the past, but I’m here to ask questions, learn, and offer a personal lens into a part of history most people never hear about.”

Roman von Ungern-Sternberg – dubbed the Mad Baron – was a Russian military leader in the Russian Civil War and then an independent warlord who intervened in Mongolia against China.

He briefly ruled the country after helping to drive out Chinese forces in 1921 and became notorious for his extreme violence, anti-Communist stance, and claims of a divine purpose.

Lennie, who is currently studying for her MBA with a focus on geopolitics and international trade, sparked a flurry of reaction online with her video.

“Seeing a descendent of the mad baron on TikTok feels like a fever dream,” one person said.

Another wrote: “Holy moly, never thought I’d run into Sternberg’s descendant on TikTok.”

One social media user commented: “The Mad Baron was a murderous lunatic. Anyone who makes a hero out of someone like that belongs in a padded room.”
