Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna with her crush, Dmitri Shakh-Bagov

“And plus a letter came from Shakh-Bagov—Olga Nikolaevna threw all her things around from delight, and threw a pillow up on a top shelf. She felt feverish and she jumped around: "Can someone have a stroke at 20 years old? I think I am having a stroke!" But Varvara Afanasievna declared: "Young blood is warm; the years pass, and the blood cools off.”

— Valentina Ivanovna Chebaotareva, friend and fellow Sister of Mercy to Grand Duchess Olga and Tatiana Nikolaevna, February 1916

Attention all royal/Romanov blogs!

What are your opinions on the Russian revolution, the Bolsheviks and Lenin and his other comrades?

I'm curious to see everyone's opinions about the revolution and its parties and on why you think the revolution happened and who was "the bad guy"

I've already done a bunch of research on the topic and have my own opinions and views on what happened, but I'm curious to see everyone else's!

Reblog and we can have a discussion :)

Sorry but the first one is so bad and Olga is so out of character, self-centered, cold hearted, selfish, and cynical there that I straight up hated her. I was praying the whole time for the book to end because it was clear and blatant that the author didn't even like who she was writing about that I wasn't surprised when I read the end note.

“Lost Crown” by Sarah Miller is much better. Sure there is stuff I dislike too but what book doesn't? It was infinitely better if not the best Romanov fiction book, and I really got the sense, feeling, or “vibe” you could say during Olga’s point-of-view chapters that I was reading about Olga Nikolaevna Romanova the daughter of the last Tsar and not some random, generic young adult romance protagonist or empty-headed Russian noblewoman like the “Olga” of “The Last Grand Duchess” by Bryn Turnbull.

The love the family had for each other is nowhere to be seen. The faith isn't there either, or Maria (she could be replaced with a doll and nothing would change, she barely gets lines... Wait, does she even get A line? I don't remember so it probably wasn't an important one).

Plus the historical inaccuracies the author admitted were “for a better story” annoyed me and took me out the story, destroying my suspension of disbelief several times, and they didn't even achieve their purpose to make the story “more interesting.” It just made it amusing in an “Olga would never do this” kind of way.

The only good things about the book were the small glimpses we get of Anastasia and the descriptions of nursing. To bad the author didn't focus on that because “better story” for her means “anachronistic party make-out sessions and dating drama”.

have you read any books about romanovs and do you have any recommendations?

Hi!!!! Yes i do!! (I am an avid reader so be prepared!)

“The Last Grand Duchess” by Bryn Turnbull this book is a historical fiction (it takes place with real events but the stuff that the characters say isn’t what really happened) book in the point of view of Olga Nikolaevna and is amazing! It makes you actually think about what her life was like! It mostly takes place during the Romanov Tercentenary in 1913 and when the family were in captivity in 1917 and 1918. In the beginning of the book it also gives you a glimpse of how Alexei’s hemophilia affected Olga. It really gives you a glimpse of the real Olga.

The collections of letters and diaries of OTMA by Helen Azar. these books are collections of all of OTMA’s letters and diaries put together by Helen Azar. They are real writings by OTMA and there are separate books on each of the girls. I highly recommend these if you want to see what OTMA’s life was like. When you read them it makes you smile and you really get to see how these girls were real humans and not just imperial goddesses.

3. The Romanov Royal Martyrs. this book is an excellent biography of the Romanov family and gives information with extensive detail about them. The people that made this book also have a YouTube channel called Romanov Royal Martyrs with excellent documentaries about the Romanovs. Also at the end of the book there is lots of amazing colorized photos of NAOTMAA and other members of the Romanov family. These photos are colorized by @klimbims and are amazing!!!

4. Six Years at the Russian Court by Margaretta Eagar. this book is a first hand account of Margaretta Eagar, OTMA’s nanny from 1898 - 1904 and shows what life was like in the Russian court for 6 years. It also gives many charming little stories of OTMA when they were little and they are so cute!!!

Thank you and I hope this helps!!!

Grand Duchesses Olga and Maria Nikolaevna of Russia 🤍

“Marie darling!..Well, good night, I kiss you and pat you on your chubby, appetising cheeks. Your sister, O Romanova” 31st October/13th November 1914

[krasivaa]

what are your fave things about each individual OTMA?

Hi anon! Nice question!

Well...

Olga: What I love most about Olga is her poetic and emotional nature. It's so nice to know that people are so caring and have feelings. What I love most about her physical appearance are her sky blue eyes, big and gentle. Olga is my queen and she is the best big sister and daughter and friend an all✨

Tatiana: What I love most about Tatya is her cheerful, hard-working and wise nature. 🥰As one woman who knew the Imperial Family said, if I had to paint a nurse, as I imagine her in the ideal, I would certainly draw Tatiana Nikolaevna and her caring hands that were always in one way or another busy with the wounded soldiers. Regarding her physical appearance... I literally can't tell. She is such a refined, classy and gentle being. I don't feel the slightest obligation to anyone to say this, but she is truly one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen.

Maria: What I love most about Maria is her kindness and gentle nature! Also a talent for painting! She's too cute 🤍 Maybe I love her smile the most in her appearance! She definitely has that angelic, innocent beauty

Anastasia: Ooh, Shvybzik! She is so funny and intelligent! Court jester is perhaps the best word 😂 Despite being very funny, I agree with her aunt Olga Alexandrovna who said that Anastasia definitely has that heart of gold. I really love her sm ☺️ Also her hair and eyes and everything abt her 😍

Thanks for asking anon!! 💙
