Where is Anastasia Tschaikovsky?

On this day in history, one of the most famous imposters arrives in America. Who was Anna Anderson, and why did she claim to be Anastasia Tschaikovsky?

 Day 37 of 365 days. 329 days left to go. Friends, Unfortunately, I have to make this quick as it is 4:59 in the morning, and I am already running late. My dog woke me up at 3:15, and I decided to fulfill an order that came in last night. I forgot that it takes an hour to prepare an order. Silly me. I digress… On this day in 1928- a woman arrived in New York City claiming to be Anastasia…

-Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine- was born #onthisday 6 June 1872 at the New Palace in Darmstadt, Hesse. She was the sixth child and fourth daughter of Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom. Through her mother, she was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. She was given the nickname “Sunny” by her mother, due to her cheerful disposition, a nickname later adopted by her husband. While her relatives called her “Alicky”, to distinguish her from her aunt the Princess of Wales. Her merry childhood was overshadowed by grief. A year after her birth, her haemophiliac brother Friedrich “Frittie” died. In 1878, both her sister Marie “May” and mother died from diphtheria. These traumatic events quickly made Alexandra an overwhelmingly serious, reserved and withdrawn character that she is portrayed today. In 1894, taking the name Alexandra Feodorovna, she married Nicholas II of Russia. Within ten years, their union produced five children. But of her children, none brought greater relief than her youngest and only son Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich. The joy of producing an only heir was quickly tainted with tragedy. He was haemophiliac, and Alexandra gave her every energy for her only boy. “Love for her husband and children was its dominant trait. She was an ideal wife and mother; her worst enemies could not deny her this. She was a very womanly woman, and not always logically reasonable when it was a case of conflict between reason and affection. Her intellect was always subordinate to her heart. . . The Empress has been cruelly maligned and grossly wronged. Her want of political experience, her trust in the innate good of humanity, made her commit many political errors. But in everything she did, she was guided solely by her love for the country of her adoption.” Baroness Sophie Buxhoedeven #empressalexandrafeodorovna #alexandrafeodorovna #alixofhesse #romanovfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/Cejygv2s_fg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Patronal icons—don’t confuse them with family icons—hold an important place in the Russian icon tradition. As a rule, a patronal icon depicts a saint for whom an individual is named in baptism. The featured icon is devoted to Saint Natalia, the patron saint of the family hearth. It once belonged to Natalia Brasova, a Russian noblewoman who married Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich of Russia. Painted in 1914-1917, the icon is, in fact, a relic of the Romanov family.

5 June, Tuesday. 1918.

Dear Anastasia turned 17 already.

The heat outside and inside was great. Continue reading 3rd volume of Saltykov- engaging and intelligent. The entire family walked before tea.

Since yesterday Kharitonov has been cooking our food, they bring provisions every two days. The daughters are learning to cook from him and are kneading dough in the evenings, and bake the bread in the morning! Not bad!
