The four Romanov sisters were the Princess Dianas of their day. They were the most photographed and the most talked about young royals of the early twentieth century. Over the years their tragic end has overshadowed their true selves. The contents of this book, taken from diaries and letters written to their friends and family, show that the girls were intelligent, sensitive, and perceptive witnesses to the dark turmoil within their immediate family and the ominous approach of the Russian Revolution.
Lavish retelling of the final years of the Russian Tsar and Empress. The film begins in 1904 and shows the stark contrast between the opulent life of the nobility and the poverty of the peasants.
