  It is so important that you are keeping alive this family that so tragically lost theirs.

  She&apos;s among my favorites. Anastasia was really a gem, even though she was mostly playing the fool, she was indeed a cute. And by all accounts, a talented young girl. There&apos;s, of course, the drawing that her sister olga said it looked like a pig riding a donkey. Also her mother, once described in a letter that she babbles all the time, and at some occasions, she flitters about like a butterfly. But Anastasia was mischievous and she actually took a selfie with her camera. One time, which remains the only portrait she took of herself. Oh, she would be great friend to anyone today if she and the family lived. 🎩

  Did you learn something new about Anastasia from our video or did you use the chance to connect to a well-known story, inspired by the presentation? Join the conversation! We&apos;d love to hear you sharing!

  I loved the way you described Anastasia, I mean the words you used and also those that the people who knew her used aswell. It must have been great fun being in Anastasia&apos;s company. When I watch comedy on the telly I often wonder what Anastasia would have thought of it? <br><br>I got interested in the Romanovs when I was 16 and still at school after doing my GCSEs where I stayed at school for 2 more years doing a course in Art and Design. The trouble was all my closest friends left after doing their exams so I was almost on my own but fortunately I had some friends in the year below me who hung out in the school library at break and lunchtime so I joined them there. They would be studying and having a few laughs aswell (Anastasia would have approved!) and I would be reading books- I&apos;m like Olga and read voraciously! So one night I was at home and the latest Reader&apos;s Digest had arrived so I flicked through it and there was an article about the Imperial Family and their brutal murder plus what happened afterwards. I don&apos;t know why but I read the whole article and I was hooked! So when I was back in the school library I looked and they had &quot;Nicholas and Alexandra&quot; by Robert K Massie so I read that and it&apos;s still a brilliant book. I soon got my own copy of that book and in case you&apos;re wondering I kept that copy of Reader&apos;s Digest too!<br><br>I left school at 18 and for a few years until health problems cropped up I had several jobs and at that time it seemed that alot of books about the Imperial Family came out so I&apos;ve got quite the collection now. I&apos;m glad that it&apos;s been scientifically proved beyond any doubt that Anna Anderson wasn&apos;t Anastasia and I never believed her story anyway. <br><br>It&apos;s great that now we&apos;ve moved on from that blatant lie and we&apos;re remembering the real Anastasia and what a character she was. You could quite easily write a very interesting book just about the shenanigans she got up to almost on a daily basis like turning up for an English lesson dressed up as a chimney sweep complete with a very sooty face and miniature ladder which no one knows where she got it from! Or one of the last plays she did in Tobolsk where she wore a dressing gown and a pair of Nicholas&apos;s underpants! At the end she turned so that her back was facing the audience and all they saw was the back of the dressing gown tucked into the underpants which were amply filled by Anastasia&apos;s bottom with her legs sticking out underneath which made everyone there laugh and Anastasia wondered why they were laughing. <br><br>I wanted to add that Anastasia was just as beautiful as her sisters but she is quite rightly remembered more for her wonderful character. I loved seeing all the funny photographs that show what the real Anastasia was like.<br><br>I&apos;m looking forward to seeing your next videos and keep up the wonderful work; I really enjoyed watching this one. May the Imperial Family rest in peace and harmony ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤xxx

  Spectacular presentation, the writing is excellent. I also greatly appreciate the restraint with which AI is used to truly enhance the black and white photos. Often it is applied too much and actually alter the family&apos;s appearance. Not here, thank you!

  Барон фон Шенк выступал свидетелем на суде по иску А Андерсен. В 1942г.он был на оккупационной территории в районе Каменец-Подольском. В ходе обыска в одном из домов обнаружил листовку Уральского ЧК 1918г.,в которой говорилось о поисках сбежавшей Анастасии и грозили репрессиями за её укрывательство. Утром, 7 апреля 1934г.в церковь Вознесения на Семеновском кладбище перед богослужением вошла молодая женщина, сильно исхудавшая. Незнакомка явилась на исповедь к священнику И. Д. Синайскому,а направил её иеромонах Афанасий. Во время исповеди женщина объявила, что она дочь Николая 2 - Анастасия. При содействие иеромонаха Афанасия ей было собрано 1000 руб.и куплен паспорт на имя Ивановой-Васильевой Надежды Владимировны. Она была направлена в Крым, в Ялту, проживала по ул Войкова 3,кв.23. Она хотела уехать за границу, но кто-то донёс на священника в НКВД. Анастасию арестовали. Она прожила жизнь, полную страданий: тюрьмы, ссылки, лагеря. В архиве Помполита ГАРФ хранятся её письма Сталину и Е. Пешковой. В одном из писем она писала:&quot;...теперь мне 36лет. Я лично много страдала, ужас пережила. Рада, что родственники узнали обо мне. Не знаю, отдадут меня или нет. Сижу я только за одно свое происхождение. Был у меня паспорт на имя Ивановой-Васильевой, но за это я отбыла...&quot;<br>Надеюсь,что виновники её страданий будут вечно гореть в аду!

  The AI is so horrible and inaccurate. It even changed Anastasia&apos;s paining fundamentally. Have you no shame?

  Your overuse of AI is gross.
