The Tsar was always very fond of David, and walked about with his hand lightly resting on the boy's shoulder. A rather curious note was struck when the man and boy said goodbye.

"You have a splendid future before you, said the Tsar, "make use of it."

"Thank you" said the boy shyly. "I will, and I hope you will have a very happy life too" he added spontaneously.

"That is as God wills" said the Tsar, and then his seriousness vanished and he tipped David handsomely.

FOUR DAUGHTERS OF THE LAST TSAR OF RUSSIA...🤍🥀

Four daughters of tsar Nicholas II and the last imperial children of Russia!

in order: Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia✨️ They were known for their special personalities and their Golden hearts, as well as their tragic deaths...💔🥀

I have written their personality characteristics under their photos🫶🥰

Romanov sisters adored their only little brother, Tsesarevich Alexei, who was always sick due to his congenital disease of hemophilia...🥺🌟

In 1917, the Bolsheviks came to power and Romanovs were exiled to Siberia after 300 years of rule. The revolution that began with the massacre of Bloody Sunday by Tsar Nicholas II on January 22, 1905, ended in 1917 when the Bolsheviks came to power! and tsar Nicholas with his wife, Five children and 4 of his crew were shot in July 17, 1918... 💔 Their bodies were then taken to a remote forest where they were mutilated, dismembered and buried with grenades, fire and acid to avoid identification.

Age of family members at the time of execution: Nicholas II was 50 years old, Alexandra Feodorovna was 46 years old, Olga was 22 years old, Tatiana was 21 years old, Maria was 19 years old, Anastasia was 17 years old, Alexei was 13 years old.

Their burial place was discovered by amateur detectives in 1979, and in 1998, 80 years after the execution, the remains of the Romanov family were buried in a state funeral in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg!

In 2007, a smaller grave containing the remains of the two missing Romanov children from the larger grave was discovered by amateur archaeologists. DNA analysis confirmed they were the remains of Alexei and one of his sisters.

During the 84 days following the murders in Yekaterinburg, 27 other friends and relatives of the emperor (14 Romanovs and 13 members of the imperial family) were killed by the Bolsheviks... 😥💔

On August 15, 2000, the Russian Orthodox Church announced that it had canonized the members of Romanov family for their "modesty, patience, and humility."

1903 Romanov Costume Ball

[lionhearteddame]

[Quora] Like her younger sister Marie, she wore her heart on her sleeve, and developed serious crushes on the handsome soldiers of her family’s yacht, as well as the patients of her hospital during the war.

- Description of Olga and Maria Nikolaevna,

[Olga] ”One cannot help but recall the words spoken to me by one of her tutors: “Olga Nikolaevna has a crystal soul.”

- From a fellow nurse in World War One,

[Maria] ”You could not imagine anyone more beautiful than she was!”

- Wrote Lord Mountbatten, who’d forever mourn his childhood crush.

/ I’m back with posting, and I’ll start with a small update with my two favourite Romanova sisters.
