Princess Irina Felixovna Yusupova (Bebe) (1915 - 1983)
Irina Felixovna (Bebe), was the only daughter of Princess Irina Alexandrovna, niece of Tsar Nicholas II, and Prince Felix Yousupov. She was born on May 21, 1915. She lived with Felix's parents until the age of nine. Later, Felix would say that his daughter was difficult to control because she was raised by nannies, and his mother Zenaida spoilt her. Most people said that Irina Felixovna was difficult to control because she had a personality very similar to that of her father. Bebe was closer to her father than to her mother.
Princess Irina Felixovna married Count Nikolai Dmitrievich Sheremetev. They had one daughter, Countess Xenia Nikolaevna Sheremeteva. Bebe died in 1983 in France where she is buried alongside her paternal grandparents and her parents.

Portrait of Princess Zinaida Yusupova (c.1900-1902). Valentin Serov (Russian, 1865-1911). Oil on canvas. Russian Museum.
Princess Zinaida Nikolayevna Yusupova was an Imperial Russian noblewoman, the only heiress of Russia's largest private fortune of her time. Famed for her beauty and the lavishness of her hospitality, she was a leading figure in pre-Revolutionary Russian society. Serov depicts Princess Zenaida in her Moika Palace. This portrait is often considered Serov's masterpiece.

The other palaces in the Crimea
The Palace of Koreiz was owned by the Yousupov Family, and the inside photos show an exquisite place. It is worth taking the time to check them out.
The Palace of Kichkine was built by Grand Duke Dmitry Konstantinovich as a place he could enjoy with his nephews.
Dulber means "beautiful" or "heart stealing" in Tartar. This palace was built by Grand Duke Pyotr Nikolaievich. Design and construction were based on his sketches. The Grand Duke had great knowledge of Middle Eastern Architecture and history. The palace has more than 100 rooms.
The Vorontzov Palace (built by Prince Mikhail Vorontzov) is one of the oldest palaces in the Crimea. It has 150 rooms and is surrounded by gardens and parks. Vorontsov's palace started a tradition of imperial residency in the area. Many Russian elite were attracted to build villas and palaces in the Crimea.
Massandra: This palace was initially being built for the Vorontzovs, but a death in the family caused the project to halt. Alexander III bought the palace and had it redesigned. The family never stayed in the palace, preferring their other palace at Livadia (the old Livadia palace, not the beautiful white heaven we all know and love.
The Golytzin Palace: This palace can only be seen on the outside. It has a long and turbulent story. The Golytzin who built it only lived in it for one year.
Harax: Grand Duke George Mikhailovich's wife, Grand Duchess Marie Georgievna, wanted an English country house in the middle of the Middle East. Everybody thought it could not be done but it was. George and Marie spent the best years of their very troubled marriage living at Harax.
Bagçesaray Palace of the Crimean Khans is a compact architectural ensemble consisting of 17 buildings and 9 inner closed courtyards. I have included a photo here because it is a source of much controversy. The palace is said to be magically beautiful and, in 2013, was listed by UNESCO as a potential addition to its World Heritage List. It was the administrative capital of the Crimean Khanate from 1532 to 1783. Apparently, the renovations have been botched. The issues regarding this historic treasure will have to be picked up again once the region has restored peace. Right now, they are not the priority.
The nobility in the Crimea
By the end of the Russian Empire, Crimea had become the most coveted "vacation spot" for the Russian elites. Palaces continued to sprout up. The sun, sea, mountains, flowers...and nobility had each other. Summers in Crimea became almost like an informal season, with teas, picnics, the occasional balls, dinners, etc. And protocol was eased. The Tsar was a frequent visitor to Harax and Dulber (at one point.) He enjoyed sitting outside and smoking. When he was there, the cossacks were there for musical entertainment.

The Romanov Imperial Court: Two of the most beautiful women of their time
Zenaida Yusupov, was the sole heir of one of the wealthiest princely families in Russia and a legendary beauty (also the mother of Felix Yusupov, who married the only niece of Tsar Nicholas II, Irina Alexandrovna; Felix was also the man who killed Rasputin.) Here Zenaida, who had prematurely white hair, is already a mature beauty. Next to her is the no less beautiful friend, Princess Elizabeth of Hesse and By Rhine, sister of Empress Alexandra, who became a Russian Grand Duchess (Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna) through marriage to Grand Duke Serge Alexandrovich, a younger brother of Alexander III; after his death, Elizabeth became a nun and eventually a saint and martyr.
These women were not only physically beautiful but they had beautiful and generous souls as well. And amazingly, they did not ware makeup...that would come one or two generations later.
Zenaida Yousupova, very young, wearing Russian court dress. The color of her attire (crimson) and the blue bow on the right with the initial "M" in diamonds indicate that she was a "Maid of Honor" or "Freylina" (for "Fraulein") to the Tzarina, Maria Feodorovna.
Grand Duchess Elizabeta Feodorovna, dressed in Russian court dress and "dripping" with emeralds. Grand Duchesses could choose the color of their court dress. There was all manner of requirements for the complex embroidery on these very expensive gowns. It took six months to finish one of them.

Who is your profile pic of?
I don't know! I was looking for a pretty boyarina online and found several, which I will be rotating. I love the different typical Russian dress. There is a beautiful painting of Zenaida Yusupova dressed as a boyarina which I considered using, but I just couldn't. She was just too gorgeous!
Here is the painting of Princess Zenaida Yusupova that I loved.

"Nikolai had been the jewel of his parent's eye. He graduated from the law faculty of St. Petersburg University, was a gifted writer (publishing under the pen name "Rokov"), an amateur actor, and founder of a comedy troupe. He had plans to join one of the elite guards regiments when he was killed in a duel in June 1908 at the age of twenty-five by Count Arvid Manteifel, after falling in love with the count's wife, Countess Marina Heiden. Zinaida was devasted and never fully recovered." -Douglas Smith, Rasputin: Faith, Power and the Twilight of the Romanovs
