^ Thank you Admin for posting this interesting article about Grand Duchess Olga. She sounds like a wonderfully kind and resilient person. I enjoyed reading this immensely. You are welcome- I just happen upon these sometimes and thought I would share. There are so many real royals' lives and stories that get lost, I feel. Their experiences can teach us something too. I like finding these. |

Olga certainly behaved in a truly royal fashion compared to the way The Cambridges and Andrew act.

Olga certainly behaved in a truly royal fashion compared to the way The Cambridges and Andrew act. I think part of the reason I post a lot of items about older royalty is that they came from a certain age with it's own struggles, etc,; that they REALLY suffered a lot of setbacks and heartbreaks in their lives, but still, STILL handled themselves with grace, dignity and decorum. I hope people are getting a sense of that by reading these items. The Romanovs had countless family members murdered by the Bolsheviks; the very privileged royals of today get upset if they cannot take the helicopter to get some take out, or some other nonsense. Priorities, people. |

I read the book about her life, her own autobiography that she worked with an author and it was amazing how she explained her life. She was kind of used by her mother as an enforced companion and she did admit that she didn't help her brother in ways that she should have. She even admits that the Romanovs didn't do what they should have been doing, supporting the Throne and trying to make things easy for Nicholas while he did his best to rule. She didn't have a loving first marriage, it was to a prince of Oldenberg who had an ambitious mother and her second marriage made her happy. I find it amazing that she ended up where she did, but it is clear that her royal position was something that brought her near little happiness.

You know, the Allies should have let Nicholas and his family get asylum; the politicians knew that Nicholas had been facing things that few other leaders were equipped to handle and it is clear that he was not facing usual routine problems. Political assassination in Russia was not rare and the Russian people and Provisional Government were eager to first exile Nicholas and the rest of the Imperial Family might very well have ended up safe in the US and I do not think that Nicholas would have willingly ended up being a figurehead for any kind of restoration. I honestly believe that it would have prevented the established idea of "The State" being able to decide who lives and who dies and I honestly think that it would have ended the Civil War peacefully.
