Olga, the youngest sister of Tsar Nicholas II, barely escaped the Bolshevik revolution and fled across the Crimea with a cache of Fabergé jewels. She ended up in Canada and ultimately died in relative poverty in 1960, in an apartment above a hair salon in a dodgy neighbourhood of Toronto. How‘s THAT for a life? ?

Suet624 Wow. What a bummer for her. 4y
Reviewsbylola Wow! I always have been fascinated by the Romanovs, ever since I watched the Unsolved Mysteries episode about Anastasia. I will always be super disappointed that she didn‘t really escape. 😭 I‘m not familiar with the extended family though! 4y
