The Youngest Daughter

Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanov was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. Anastasia was born on June 18, 1901, in Peterhof Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire. Anastasia was the younger sister of Olga, Tatina, and Maria, and was the elder sister of Alexei Romanov. She was murdered with her family on July 17, 1918. When Anastasia was born her parents were disappointed that she was a girl. They hoped for a son who could lead the empire. Young Anastasia was a bubbly and energetic child, described as short and chubby, with blue eyes and strawberry-blonde hair.

" She was the imp of the whole house... it was impossible to resist her jokes and nonsense."

- French tutor, Pierre Gilliard
