Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia, daughters of the last Russian Tsar. Seen in the above photographs in 1914, they would be all brutally murdered only four years later.
This lovely lady is Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia (1895-1918.) She was the eldest child of Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Alix of Hesse. From an early age she was considered compassionate yet moody.
During World War I she was a Red Cross nurse with her mother and sister, Grand Duchess Tatiana.
After her fathers abdication in March of 1917, she was imprisoned with her family, at Tsarskoye Selo, Tobolsk, and Yekaterinberg. It was in Yekaterinberg that she was killed by Bolsheviks along with her parents and siblings.
Her remains were found in the 1990s, but they weren’t confirmed to be hers until 2008. She was canonized as a passion bearer in the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000.
