Glory Hole In Sacramento

daughters of Tsar Nicholas II - fourth and last-

ANASTASIA ROMANOV Nikolaevna

The fourth daughter was born in Peterhof tsars 5th of June 1901 on the Julian calendar in force in that country until 1918. According to the Gregorian calendar was on 18 June. His birth caused disappointment in their parents and the rest of his family. The Tsar was not immediately see his new daughter, and he decided to take a long walk to digest the fact that he had no male heir. Over time it became his favorite daughter. The newborn was named Anastasia . In honor of his birth, his father had pardoned and released to a group of students who had sparked riots in St. Petersburg and Moscow the previous winter. Most of the inhabitants of the palace, including servants, usually called the Grand Duchess by her first name and patronymic, Anastasia Nikolaevna, and did not use the title "His Imperial Highness." It is often called using the French version of his name, "Anastasia", or the Russian short forms "Nastia", "Nastas" or "Nastenka." Also called "Malenkaya" meaning tiny, or "shvibzik" imp.

The Anastasia young girl grew into a lively and energetic. Was described as short in stature and with a tendency to be overweight, which her mother was very concerned with blue eyes and blondish red hair, bright and talented. It was maddening teaser to extremes, his antics and lack of sophistication to her mother became crazy and captivated his father. It was also sometimes too lazy, sometimes quite cheeky and a remarkable stubbornness. Your comments, witty and sharp, often wounded sensibilities. Was fond of organizing games and role-play. There are many testimonials that attest to his behavior bordered occasionally unacceptable. Intended to deceive the servants or joking with their tutors, or up to the top of a tree and refused to drop. On one occasion, playing in the park with her sisters to throw snowballs, threw a stone into a her sister Tatiana, who under the impact of the ball and fell stunned. The girl Anastasia got scared a lot, breaking to mourn bitterly for the damage he caused to his sister.

He cared far less than their sisters for their look and feel, the wife of a diplomat told that eating chocolates see the opera without worrying about killing before their long white gloves. Despite its vitality, Anastasia did not enjoy good health. Suffering the so-called hallux valgus (bunions), affecting both big toes. He also had a weak muscle in her back that forced him to receive a massage twice a week. His reluctance to massage was such that he was hiding under cupboards or beds for receiving them.

an enigmatic and sinister, with a reputation of a saint, would have a major influence in recent years of the Romanov dynasty. The Czarina Alexandra blindly trust the advice of Grigori Rasputin , whose prayers had allegedly relieved the pain of the young Tsarevich Alexei many times. Anastasia and her sisters saw Rasputin as "our friend" and "confident." One of the girls for girls, Sofia Ivanovna Tiucheva, was horrified at the fact that Rasputin was allowed to enter the rooms of girls when they were wearing only a nightgown. Tsar Nicholas asked the monk to avoid entering these rooms in the future. The children, aware of the situation, they feared that the words of Tiucheva make her mother angry, which eventually fire the maid.

Tiucheva reported what he saw the other members of the imperial family. While visits were girls Rasputin considered by the monk as completely innocent, the rest of the family was shocked. The maid told the tsar's sister, Grand Duchess Xenia, the monk would visit the girls, talking to them as they prepared for bed and hugged and caressed. He said the girls had been instructed not to speak of a monk in his presence and to hide his visits to the rooms. In the spring of 1910, a girl named Maria Ivanovna Vishniakova alleged that she was raped by a monk. He said that the Empress refused to believe it and insisted that "everything Rasputin does is holy." His accusations were immediately investigated, but "surprised the girl in bed with a Cossack of the Imperial Guard." forbidden to approach the girl and in 1913 Rasputin was fired.

However, rumors persisted to the point where it was said that the monk had not only seduced the Empress, but also to the four Grand Duchesses. These rumors increased substantially when Rasputin himself reported the letters that the Tsarina and her daughters sent. These revelations followed the circulation of pornographic drawings representing Rasputin having sex with the Czarina, their four daughters and Ana Vyrubova. Following the scandal, the Tsar, despite strong opposition from his wife, ordered the monk to leave St. Petersburg for a while, so it was a pilgrimage to Israel.

Despite rumors, the union of the imperial family and the monk continued until his assassination, December 1, 1916. The four Grand Duchesses remained "visibly upset" at the news of the death of Rasputin and remained seated "embraced each other" on a sofa in one of their rooms overnight . Rasputin was buried with an icon signed on its back by the Empress and her four daughters. Anastasia attended his funeral and he and his family planned to build a church on the site of his tomb.

During World War I, Anastasia, with her sister Mary, used to visit the wounded soldiers in a private hospital located on the grounds of Tsarskoe Selo. The two teenagers, too young to belong to the Red Cross as his mother and two older sisters, played with the soldiers to lift their spirits. In February 1917 the Russian Revolution erupted, which forced Nicholas II to abdicate the throne. Anastasia and her family were placed under house arrest in the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoe Selo. They were then taken to Tobolsk, in Siberia. Once the Bolsheviks took control of most of Russia, Anastasia and her family were taken to the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg. In Tobolsk, she and her sisters hid jewels in his clothes to prevent them from being stolen, but the guards searched for Anastasia and her two older sisters in search of those gems while aboard the Rus, the steam-ship transporting them to Yekaterinburg, where his parents and his sister Mary.

Anastasia tried to take his captivity in the best way possible. Along with other household members organized games to delight their parents. Anastasia's performances "popping out laughing" the rest of the family. One of the guards remembered as a girl "very friendly and full of joy," while another said it was "a charming devil. It was naughty and rarely looked tired. I like doing comedy routines with dogs, as if in a circus. " Yet another of the guards called Anastasia "offensive and a terrorist" and complained that some of his provocative remarks caused tension among the soldiers. Anastasia was murdered with the rest of your family tomorrow 17 July 1918 by a firing squad.

The possible survival of Anastasia was one of the great legends of the twentieth century and has been repeatedly brought to the cinema and television. Anne Anderson, the most famous pretender to be the Grand Duchess, said he had posed as dead among the bodies of his family and servants, and escaped with the help of a compassionate guard who rescued her to see that even was alive. But it was not the only one, at least ten women claimed to be the fourth daughter of Tsar.


In 1979, a Russian geologist and a director located the remains of the Romanov, thanks to the statements of people involved in the execution of the imperial family. The sad discovery does not come to light until 1991, when the dying Soviet regime ordered the exhumation of the bodies. In the mass grave located the remains of nine people, six adults and three juveniles. The czar was on the right, three of his daughters to the left and servitude at the feet of Nicholas, Czarina bones scattered throughout the pit. Since 1997, U.S. scientists, British and Russian conducted DNA tests on the remains, obtaining samples matching 99.8% safe. The remains of Yekaterinburg were Anastasia Romanov and was among them.

To verify that these were the Romanov crossed their genetic codes on blood samples from relatives living and dead, including the Grand Duke George, brother of the czar died of tuberculosis in 1899, the Duke of Edinburgh, cousin of the Empress, and Georgy Romanov, heir to the imperial family. Anastasia's remains rest in the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul in St. Petersburg. The Russian Orthodox Church canonized the family finally as "strastoterpets" or people who have died with Christian humility, in 2000. Stressed the mercy of Anastasia and how his mother and his sister Olga prayed and tried to make the sign of the cross before falling dead. The servants of the family, however, were not canonized.
