The daughters of Tsar Nikolai II of Russia and his wife Alexandra Feodrovna were born into the wealthiest royal family in the world. Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia had glittering futures ahead of them with the prospects of marrying the grandest royals in Europe and living their days in the lap of luxury. But their little brother’s devastating illness and their parent’s detachment from the realities outside the palace walls resulted in four astonishingly naive and sheltered young women and ultimately the downfall of the entire family. Let’s take a look at the tragically brief lives of the four Romanov daughters:
Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia
Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia
Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia
Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia

The Romanov children and Marie Antoinette's children didn't deserve to be punished for their parent's actions!

When Anastasia was under house arrest with the family, she would try to climb out the window. A revolutionist shot at her to scare her and the family. But instead of being scared she stuck her tongue out at him and apparently blew raspberries. What a brave kid.

It seems like Nicholas was a great father, all we hear is that he was a terrible king but I'm glad to hear he care for his daughters

What made their deaths even more tragically pointless is that women couldn't even inherit the Russian throne, and Alexei probably wouldn't have lived to adulthood. None of them were any threat.

The children shouldn’t have died. R.I.P Maria, Olga, Tatiana, Anastasia, and Alexei

"she underwent the common treatments for depression and nervous disorders. injections of arsenic" oh wow...

If only women could inherit the throne...Olga was far more insightful and politically smart than her parents and siblings. She was the only one to understand that Rasputin had contributed to their downfall.

Fun fact: Despite being one of the most wealthy families in Europe, the Romanovs' private life was actually very modest. They would've much preferred to be a normal middle class family as opposed to royals.

If the Pauline laws doesn't exist Olga would probably be empress regnant

Poor Olga, if she married in another country, she would have lived...

Olga Tatiana Maria and Anastasia were four lovely girls who had different personalities who loved and were devoted to each other and their beloved parents ❤ 💖

They're all so beautiful despite their tragic demise...

@Stefi_C 5 years ago

It's a shame they were punished for their parents' mistakes, these girls had inspiring personalities and have done nice actions during the war.
Can't wait for the new video! 💖

They killed the daughters as well because had they been kept alive, those who still supported the monarchy would continue to fight against the revolution but it’s so sad because they were all so beautiful and seems to have wonderful personalities. They would’ve been better rulers than their ascendents by far.

Basically speaking, Anastasia was the Bart Simpson of the Romanov family.

Even if you disagree with monarchy and hared the Tzar, those kids were innocent. The same thing happened to Marie Antoinette’s kids. They were tortured and killed for their parent’s lifestyles that they had no say over being born into
