Were the rest of the Romanov sisters real? The answer is yes!
In the 1997 FOX movie "ANASTASIA", when Anya and Empress Marie reunite and talk about Anya and when
she was a girl, Anya mentioned that she drew a picture of a doll because her sister Olga made her mad
because it looked like a pig riding a donkey. Well actually its true! No no not that the drawing looked like a pig riding a donkey! Although, the picture was a real watercolor painting to her father. Click here to look at it.
Another, part of that was true too! I mean her sister Olga. The oldest of the sisters is Olga (on the right sitting), then Tatiana (on the
right standing), then the middle sister Marie (on the lower right side), and of course the youngest Anastasia!
The sisters were often referred to as the Grand Duchesses.
The tsaritsa or tsarina (Anastasia's mother "Alexandra") raised
her daughters to be modest and self-reliant. Though they had dozens of servants, they made their own beds.
The girls were lively, good-natured and close friends. Though Anastasia and Olga didn't get along very well,
they sent gifts and letters collectively as 'OTMA': an invented signature using the first letter of each name.
With the exception of Olga, the eldest and moodiest sister (in another words, she was a snob), the girls knew
little of the world outside the palace. Each year in the spring they vacationed at Livadia, as mentioned in the
movie when the Anastasia imposter tried to convince Empress Marie that they vacationed on the beach in spring.
In July they cruised the Gulf of Finland on the family yacht the 'Standart'. The picture on the left is a cartoon of Olga as a girl drawn by Marie.
A little about each of the Romanov sisters
Marie- Although Tatiana was referred as the prettiest of the sisters, it is the image of
Marie Nicholaevna and her fairy-tale princess eyes that charm people today. The third grand duchess, Marie was
closer to younger Anastasia than to her older sisters, who often teased her and called her "fat bow wow". Sweet and
clumsy, Marie possessed an unaffected charm. She spoke easily with everyone. When the
Soviet soldiers ordered her parents from Tobolsk to Ekaterinburg, Marie rode with them in the carts. She
behaved bravely during the terrifying trip to what would be her last home. She died at age 19.
Anastasia- And of course who can forget the youngest and most cuddiest of the Romanov sisters! Click here

Olga- Olga was the oldest of the Romanov sisters. She was close to her father, she didn't get
along too well with her younger sisters, Tatiana, and Marie. She was very elegant, but was also the snobbiest and rudest (in
the sense of classes) of all the Grand Duchesses. She would often tease her younger sister Marie by calling her "fat bow wow".
She and Tatiana would normally flirt or get school girl crushes on the Palace guards or soldiers, but her families' troubles prevented any
romance to blossom. She died age 22.
Tatiana- Tatiana was the 2nd oldest of the Romanov sisters. She was referred to as the most prettiest of the
Romanov sisters. Tatiana was her mother's favorite. She was both beautiful and bright. She was what you would call a bookworm, she read, study, and was your average
smart school pupil. She hardy never got along with her sister Olga! They would always have silly arguments on each other about which sister
is more attractive than the others. She died age 21. The picture on the right is a cartoon roleplay of Tatiana drawn by M.S. my sponser so ask her permission 1st.
