What does it mean to be born into the Romanov dynasty? The daily life of the four daughters of Nicholas II — Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia — destroys all romantic notions of the grandeur of the royal court. Born...
to the empress in a desperate hope of giving the country an heir to the throne, the grand duchesses became hostages of their brother's illness after his birth. In an effort to conceal the state of Tsarevich Alexei, Nicholas II's family led a reclusive life — which directly affected their tragic fate. The country knew nothing about the grand duchesses or what kind of family people Nicholas and Alexandra were, personally raising their children away from any luxury. What were the four daughters of the tsar like? What were their interests, how did they spend their time, and who did they fall in love with? What atmosphere prevailed within the Romanov family? Entries from the princesses' personal diaries, extensive archival materials, and testimonies from the inner circle recreate the circumstances of the girls' daily lives, hobbies, and passions, who became victims of a bloody and merciless era.
