Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia (13 June [O.S. 1 June] 1882 24 November 1960) was the youngest child of Emperor Alexander III of Russia. Her older brother was Tsar Nicholas II. Olga''s relationship with her mother, Empress Marie, the daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, was strained and distant from childhood. In contrast, she and her father enjoyed their time together and shared intimate secrets. She was raised at the Gatchina Palace outside of Saint Petersburg, and was close to her brother, Michael, although their relationship later deteriorated. In 1901, she married Duke Peter Alexandrovich of Oldenburg, who was privately considered by family and friends to be homosexual. The marriage did not last and was annulled in 1916, allowing Olga to marry her true love, commoner Nikolai Kulikovsky. After the downfall of the Romanovs in the Russian Revolution of 1917, she fled to the Crimea with her mother, husband, and children, where they were placed under house arrest and lived under the threat of assassination.
