Grand duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia Nikolaevna picking mushrooms in the Finnish skerries, circa-1913. 

Every summer prior to the war, the Romanov family boarded their imperial yacht “The Standart” and headed for a holiday on the Finnish skerries. The time they spent in Finland was always one of their fondest memories.From Grand Duchess Olga’s 1913 diary:“We walked through the woods for ¼ an hour and finally came to the picnic site. [They] set up a stage there, and a few people from ‘The Polar Star’ performed 2 plays. Very funny. We all sat on the rocks. After that there was dancing, first to an accordion, then musicians played. Lots of Finns came over from the villages with little children. The crew had a lot fun and danced a lot. The crew had a lot fun and danced a lot. [We] went to dinner at 9 o’cl. Sat at the table until 11 o’cl. because by the end of dinner the singers came out, and they sang and danced and every other thing one can imagine. Artemiev and T.[atiana] Yevg.[enievna] were really making everyone laugh on stage. They told funny stories on stage and mimicked sailors from different countries, danced folk dances in different [ways], the way they dance them in various provinces. Then we returned to the old spot and danced again. We danced with the officers. Then Allaverdov, etc. Datzoev danced the ‘lezginka’ very well and did not even get tired. When he finished, Artemiev started mimicking him – [it was] unbelievably funny. The last dance was the polonaise to the ‘Old Ranger’ march. I danced with Pavl. Al. [We] returned to the yacht at 12 o’cl 35 min. Mama was already in bed. It was so nice and fun.”

I was reading The Romanovs 1613-1918 by Simon Sebag Montefiore at the same time I was reading War & Peace, but I only finished this one today. I listened to the audiobook, but also flipped through the paperback as it includes some photographs & extra notes. This incredibly readable & fascinating nonfiction book gripped me even more than War & Peace. It had a good balance between providing the academic context & dishing some fabulous gossip. Highly recommend. * #funaekbooks #funaekreads #bookstagram #instabooks #instaread #nonfiction #theromanovs #russianhistory #pugsandbooks

We can see in the slides some illustrations during their visit, in the 3rd slide the Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria talking to the Russian Empress and next to her, Elizabeth the Empress of Austria nicknamed Sisi and Emperor Nicholas II,and the 4rth slide we can see a zoom in of that illustration showing the two Empresses who were considered to be the most beautiful at their times. Actually, Empress Alexandra saw Sisi 9 years ago when she was Princess Alix of Hesse, she was so impressed by her charm character and beauty. “On Saturday we saw the Empress of Austria, and I was perfectly enchanted with her. She has a most lovely, tall & thin figure (50 years old) and such a pretty face & soft voice.” wrote to her brother Prince Ernest of Hesse, 3 August 1887. “How funny it is to hear German spoken everywhere after 2 years in Russia. [...] Nicky drove with the Emperor [of Austria] & I followed with the Empress - I must say I am shy with all these masses of strange faces again. The Empress I had already seen twice before - she enquired after you. - Stephanie [the Dowager Crown Princess of Austria] was directly charming - she must be coming now in a minute - as she wanted to see me a little quietly. [...] At 5 there is an immense Dinner & Cercle (oh dear) & parade, then Pürschen for Nicky. At 4 family dinner at Leinz, then drive & later a Concert here in the Burg. It is such a pitty [sic] that as soon as the Empress does not appear Stephanie neither does, as she would have been such a great help to me.” wrote to her brother Ernest the Duke of Hesse 15/27th of August 1896 #empressalexandrafeodorovna #empresselisabethofaustria #empresssissi #alexandrafeodorovna #royalwomen #elisabethofaustria #history #royals #nicholasii #franzjosef #romanovs #theromanovs #romanovdynasty #romanova_team #otma #sissiofaustria #alixofhesse #sisi #empresselisabeth #romyschneider https://www.instagram.com/p/CbYFvCosMJN/?utm_medium=tumblr

On This Day in History July 16, 1917: The Russian Imperial Romanov family and their servants were assassinated by the Bolshevicks in Yekaterinburg.

On the pretense of taking a photograph, the group was led down to the basement of the house where they were held. Once there, they were shot and bayonetted to death. The majority of their remains wre buried in the forest near Yekaterinburg.
