Grand Duchess Of Love's video: OTMA II Beautiful lies

''You hear of so much terrible suffering, terror even, but through it all I firmly believe that God will help somehow.'' - Olga "The truth? So hurt and sad what they are all doing to our native land, but there is one hope, that God will not leave and He will teach these madmen." - Tatiana "Pretty often, when all four of us get together in a proper mood we sing various nice songs. This always ends up with us loudly imitating zurna sounds. Some of us knock against the door or against any other thing that catches our eye in order to produce more noise... and we create a hubbub that can be heard almost all over the house." - Maria "Dear ones, in our thoughts we are with you all the time. It is terribly sad and empty; I really don't know what possesses me. " - Anastasia The Grand Duchess Olga was the eldest of these four fair sisters. She was a most amiable girl, and people loved her from the moment they set eyes on her. As a child she was plain, at fifteen she was beautiful. She was slightly above middle height, with a fresh complexion, deep blue eyes, quantities of light chestnut hair, and pretty hands and feet. She took life seriously, and she was a clever girl with a sweet disposition. I think she possessed unusual strength of character, and at one time she was mentioned as a possible bride for the Crown Prince of Roumania. But the Grand Duchess did not like him, and, as the Crown Prince liked the Grand Duchess Marie better than her sister, nothing came of the project. Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia was the second of the four daughters of Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. Long recognised as the undisputed ‘beauty’ if the family, Tatiana was acknowledged for her poise, her elegance, and her innate dignity within her own family. […] The brisk, modern prose of Tatiana’s diary entries reveals the character of a young woman who war far more than the sheltered imperial beauty that has been previously portrayed. While many historians and writers describe her as a cold, haughty, and distant aristocrat, this book shows instead a remarkably down-to-earth and humorous young woman, full of life and compassion. […] Of the three Romanov women, Tatiana was undoubtedly the most suited for the arduous work at the military infirmary. This challenging job revealed not only Tatiana’s kindess and empathy, but also her emotional stability, organisation skills, and her special calling as a Sister of Mercy. A pretty baby with large, soulful eyes and merry nature was Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna, who became known to her family and friends simply as ‘Mashka’. With her angelic looks and personality, Mashka grew into an empathetic, down-to-earth girl, unaffected by her imperial status. Often overshadowed by her two elder sisters, and later her brother and younger sister Anastasia, Maria ultimately proved to have a uniquely strong and solid personality. The incarnation of modesty elevated by suffering’, as Maria was described during the last weeks of her life, she was able to maintain her kindness and optimism, even in the midst of violence and degradation. Maria’s gentle character belied her incredible courage, which emerged in the darkest hours of her short life. This humble girl with simple wishes, turned out to have a great strength of spirit. Her surviving diaries and letters offer a fascinating insight into the private life of a loving family, for whom this middle child ultimately became a pillar of strength and hope. It was no accident that Maria was chosen among her sisters to accompany her parents to Ekaterinburg, where the entire imperial family would ultimately meet their brutal end. Anastasie, the youngest Grand Duchess, might have been composed of quicksilver, instead of flesh and blood; she was most amusing, and she was a very clever mimic. She saw the humorous side of everything, and she was very fond of acting; indeed, Anastasie would have made an excellent comedy actress. She was always in mischief, a regular tom-boy, but she was not backward in her development, as M. Gilliard once stated. Anastasie was only sixteen at the time of the Revolution - no great age after all. She was pretty, but hers was more of a clever face, and her eyes were wells of intelligence.
