Jan. 12, 1915⁣⁣⁣ "...Now I am sitting at Mother's writing-desk and am writing with a very bad pen. Sisters [Olga and Tatiana] are in the hospital [working] but will soon come to be present at the service that will take place in Mother's sitting-room..."⁣ 

Special thanks to Jsenya Dyakova for translating on behalf of the Alexander Palace forum.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This letter provides insight into the day to day life of the little pair, Maria and Anastasia, while their older sisters Olga and Tatiana and their mother, Alexandra, nursed injured soldiers at the Tsarskoe Selo infirmary. The little pair would often visit their own patron hospital and would spend the evening on the phone to their favourite soldiers.

Hi I love all your posts and answers and stuff! But I wanted to ask if you knew anything about Imperial Russian nobility and what surviving Russian nobility did after the Russian Revolution?

*takes out gigantic folder and slams it on the table*

I have literally been obsessed with the Romanovs my entire life probably beginning with Anastasia (1997). Their story is one that always gets me in the heart and always captures my attention. Ask me anything about them!

The Survivors of the Romanovs

Maria Fyodorovna, Mother of Nicholas II: She escaped to England thanks to her sister Queen Alexandra. After arriving, she stayed for a while before returning to Denmark, her country of birth where she died.

Grand Duchesses Xenia Alexandrovna and Olga Alexandrovna, with their husbands, sisters of the Tsar: Xenia escaped to England where she stayed while Olga went to Canada with her family.

Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna, Aunt of the Tsar: had not wanted to leave Russia as her son had a claim. When the rebels came she fled to Constantinople, to Venice and the France where she died.

Elena Petronova: She was briefly imprisoned in Alapayevsk and Perm but escaped to Sweden and then to France

Elizaveta Mavrikievna: She escaped with her children and grandchildren. Her daughter fled to Romania and then Switzerland. 

Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaievich & Grand Duke Peter: escaped with all their children and their wives. Nicholas was declared Tsar for a brief period of time, remaining a figurehead for the monarchists until his death.

Joy: Tsarevitch Alexei's dog who was smuggled to England after being spared the execution of his master. He's buried at Windsor Castle.

Do also have a look at the Romanov jewels. Perhaps you can find some info on those @tiaramania (who is my bible for all sparkly things)

Marie and your mother

Is it weird for me to be attracted to a Gran duchess that's been dead for less than 100 years?
