Biography
Russian royalty, the second daughter of Tsar Nikolai (Nicholas) II, the last monarch of Russia, and of Tsarina Alexandra. She was better known than her three sisters during her lifetime and headed Red Cross committees during World War I. Like her older sister Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia, she nursed wounded soldiers in a military hospital from 1914 to 1917, until the family was arrested following the first Russian Revolution of 1917. She was murdered with a gunshot to the head delivered by communist revolutionaries (the Bolshevik army) in the early hours of 17 July 1918. Her death in this manner resulted in her being named as a passion bearer by the Russian Orthodox Church.
