Letter from Oleg Konstantinovich to Tatiana Konstantinovna, 1907

28th August 1907

Pavlovsk (Strelna)

Dear Tus!

Send me, please, a middling sized suitcase, if you have such a thing. I need to bring a couple of things with me to the [Cadets] Corps, and Sasa (ever the prig) maintains that mine is indecent.

Oleg.

Письмо Олега Константиновича Татьяне Константиновне, 1907 г

28 Августа 1907 г

Павловск (Стрельна)

Дорогая Тусь!

Пришли мне, пожалуйста, небольшой чемодан, если у Тебя такой есть. Мне нужно везти с собой в корпус разный вещи, а Саса (вечный франт) находит, что мой неприличный.

Олег.

A ring that belonged to Tsarina Maria Feodorovna.

It was made as a wedding gift in 1866 and she wore the ring till the day she died in 1928.

It has been months and maybe years since I last tried to colourize an image... but here is Anastasia, the real actual Anastasia, I felt compelled to spend my time on after finding out yet another "Romanov Grand Duchess survived" fiction book is about to come out.

Several pieces of footage of the Romanovs boarding and being on board the imperial yacht "Standart". From the 2017 documentary series "Революция 1917: Эпоха перемен".

An extremely rare picture of the Chief of the Regiment, Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna. Apparently, it was filmed on July 11-13, 1909, after the appointment of Olga Nikolaevna as the Chief and the visit of the regiment, when the regimental uniform was presented to the Chef. It is worth paying attention to one interesting detail: Olga Nikolaevna has a cavalry saber on the waist suspension. This is the only picture where she poses with a cold weapon, and even in a cap, not in a hat. The photo was taken in Peterhof, where the regimental deputation was met. It can be assumed that this was the first fitting of the form, after the appointment of O.N. Chief of the 3rd Hussar of the Elisavetgrad Regiment.
