In one of the poems in prose I. S. Turgenev called its heroine - "girl" and then decided to clarify this image and added - "Russian girl".
Sensitive artist better than others knew that the beauty of our native land grew Russian girl, that the existing features of its historic nature, expressed its great literature of our deep and beautiful appearance - dramatically highlighted in its distinctive phenomenon, one of the beauties of our people; beauty - such proud expensive and such.
With deep pain we are experiencing, therefore, in a general collapse of the whole beauty of our unfortunate country, the loss, the loss of expensive image and the type of Russian girls - one of our inalienable and indigenous jewellery.
We believe, of course, that loss is temporary, that in the future Russia and the rise and the strong growth of worthy new preemnits girls Pushkin, Turgenev and Chekhov, and this will be a great benefit of Russian life.
We want to draw attention to one of the beautiful images so recently and so tragically bygone life of a Russian girl, until one of the last true, the character traits and the general appearance of their young lives - Russian girls.
We are talking about the elder daughter of the late Emperor Sovereign - Great Princess Olga Nikolayevna.
I want to remember it as a holy day blagovernoy Princess Olga, as well as in the person of Olga Nikolayevna us drawn not only the typical Russian girl, but the Great Russian Princess from the last days of Russian history has ended.
And then outlines some beautiful and interesting connection, such as redundant feature of the majestic decorated with a Russian woman, a Russian girl.
Since our childhood, and the dawn of Russian history, we know the name of Princess Olga, or, as its called Bagryanorodny Constantine, "Olga, the Duchess of Russia.
One pervovestnits, "Lucifer" Christianity in Russia, wise and power governess, and grandmother predtecha St. Vladimir, it is close to us and feudalism records, and the first story on the history, and harsh manner, charted attracted close to the beloved Russian man named it aired almost every Russian family.
At the dawn of our history, led by brave and disadvantaged even Slavic tribes - a woman, Princess Olga.
This - dedicated symbolic image of Russian women, its independence, its role in our literature and life. Then recall Catherine the Great, and have led us to sunset, Russia - The Great Princess Olga.
Her - modest excellent Russian girl - I did not rehearse not compare, not сonsolidate, of course, with those great women's images already if only because it had not lived on his short-century, independent life, not shown the work of which we could fully appreciate it as a Russian woman.
But in her biography occur features and facts that unwittingly resurrect images in the memory of Russians great wives and attach any secret because this maiden image.
After the tragic death of the King Families left little documentary traces in the form of diaries, correspondence, memoirs closest persons on the basis of which it could recover fully and truthfully life and the image of the Great Princess.
We have documentary material, but a fractured and random. One could use the memories of those who were close to the Great Princess ... But we still want to take only the data published materials; let the original image will lose some of the clarity, completeness, brightness, shape, but it will keep us accessible truth, spontaneity, but because, hopefully, and all of its credibility and attractiveness.

Jhoom Families usually held in winter Tsarskoye Selo, which Gosudar frequently in the diary calls "was nice, hometown, expensive place." There, near the Great Palace, in the park, cut off small artificial lakes, towering trees hidden sex modest white Aleksandrovsky Palace, which was born in 1895 in autumn first King's youngest daughter, Princess Olga Great Families. On her birthday we read such a detailed diary entry in the Sovereign: "3 noyabrya1. Friday. Eternally memorable day for me in which I have vystradal! Even in the hour of the night from the pain began dear Alix, who did not give her sleep. All day it had lain in bed in severe pain - the poor! I could not indifferent to look at it. Approximately 2 hours. Mama expensive night came from Gatchina, three with her and Ella (Grand Duchess Elizaveta Fyodorovna) were plagued with Alix. At 9 o'clock exactly heard children's hot and all, we breathed a sigh free! God sent her daughter with prayer we call Olga! "
Record 5 November: "Today I attended in the bathtub of our daughters. She - big baby, weighing 10 pounds and 55 cm length. Almost hard to believe that this is our child. God, that for happiness! Alix lain all day ... She felt themselves well, a little too cute. "
6 November: "Morning love our charming daughter. It does not seem to newborns, because so much child with a head covered with hair. "
Feed newborn mother (Alix very fortunate son became fed feed, and the last gave milk Olga "- wrote in his diary of 5 November Sovereign), while it was Englishwoman with a nurse-assistant - Russian Nanny. April 26, 1896 Gosudar noted in his diary: "Today we left nurse-Englishwoman; rejoiced that at last away from it!"
Great christening a newborn Princess Olga held in the Scheduled birthday Gosudaryni Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, on November 14.
Same close family at that time the family were too Sovereign newlyweds - Sovereign sister Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna, and the Great Prince Alexander, who also was born around that time, daughter Irina. Sovereign has repeatedly referred to it in his diary, comparing with their new-born, "a small padlock."
Strastoterpitsy Grand Princess Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia 1906 g
March 21, 1896: "For obedney brought their daughters to St. Anthony. Communion, we were quite calm, and Irina pokrichala bit. "
April 1: "Xenia Irina brought to our small bath. They weigh the same 20 and a half pounds, but my daughter is thicker. "
In the coming years, the czarist Families still have three daughters - Great sisters Princess: Tatiana (1897 year), Maria (1899 year) and Anastasia (1901 year).
Avgusteyshie their parents always shared by "senior" (Olga and Tatiana), and "junior"; natural that the majority among them the proximity and shared interests gradually established for these couples. They all grew up in a very friendly, who lived Giant, exemplary czarist Families, under the strong and deep mental mind their beautiful mother-Gosudaryni.
In one of the memories (AA Taneevoy), we learn from such a picture of their childhood: "While the children were small, they dress in white and coloured carpet kushakah played with toys that remained high Gosudaryni basket in the office." Since they are usually noisy down from its upper rooms and fall into the beloved "adult" situation pale purple with his Cabinet huge carpet, with a mass of flowers, flowering shrubs entire lilac or rozanov; on the couch and they loved huge picture of "Son of Virgin Mary with Prisnodevy beautiful face.
The children were fully Empress. "From the first months - recalls P. Zhilyar - I saved quite a distinct memory of extreme interest to koim Empress belonged to the care and education of their children, as a mother, entirely dedicated to their duty."
Государь in an ordinary time saw little of their children: his classes and the requirements of the court to give him life hindered him all the time that he wanted to dedicate them. He fully conveyed Imperatritse care of their upbringing and, in rare moments of closeness with loved without any thought rear, with a full mental tranquillity to enjoy their presence. "
Each of the girls had their own special Russian nurse.
When Princess podrastali, nannies become a maid, all of whom were simple peasant and handed over their pets clean Russian speech to the icons of love, lampadkam to antiquities and tales.
So in the beginning of XX century, we blagostno perenosimsya times to Tatyana Larina, Lisa Kalitinoy when Nanny zaronyali in young souls pure grain of faith and a deep love of the entire Russian, the mother tongue; when invisibly, but firmly formed images of a Russian girl with her infinite charm and power life forces.

Later vospitatelnitsey senior Knyazhon, their Russian governess, was maid Sophia I. Tyutchev, granddaughter of the poet, have shown great dedication to their vospitannitsam; since the spring of 1912, she had to leave the service at 2 Courtyard.
Life czarist Families in those years was very quiet and strictly Unexcited. Morning classes for children and handicraft; Breakfast met all the Family ( "family breakfast, breakfast with the children alone" - recorded almost daily Sovereign), then if the weather was good - walked, skated (Olga and Tatiana were travelling near bikes "- a record in May of 1904) came with those in the Cabinet Gosudaryni (" The Empress does not allow them to sit idly "- recalls Taneeva AA).
Tea applied in exactly five hours, most often in a classroom Sovereign, then walk again ( "After tea went to the lake with Masha and Olga" - wrote in May 1904 for Sovereign).
At eight o'clock pm converge to the family lunch break, often for lunch with Avgusteyshimi parents came only two elder sisters.
And after lunch Gosudar usually read aloud Gogol or other works of Russian literature, and read well, so that the children loved this time.
When the Great Princess Olga turned eight years old, it is beginning to appear increasingly out of the palace with Sovereign, which appear in a diary recording the summary: "In 11 of the sexes. Olga went to the upward "," immediately after breakfast went to Olga ... in Tsarskoye Selo "," went to Alix and Olga see regimental Ulan teachings. "
In birthdays Naslednika lone Gosudar spent time with senior daughters: "Zavtrakal Olga and Tatiana"; obedni was a child ":" Alix breakfast with us, ie me, Olga and Tatiana. "
And on the day of baptism Naslednika, August 11, 1904, Sovereign wrote: "Olga, Tatiana, and Irina ... had for the first time and stood at the outlet of the entire service excellent. "
Great Princess Olga has become a big - it seemed such Gosudaryu and on the day of its birth - November 3, 1904: "Olga passed nine years - he wrote in his diary - a very big girl."
Государь increasingly be with her; during daytime walks likes to circumvent together with the park.
What they talked? Recall that they were terrible months of setbacks Japanese war and worries internal turmoil. Pereobremenenny affairs and all this hard perezhivavshy Gosudar was happy, probably naive completely unwind in conversations with his elder, say, running forward, the beloved daughter (ten years they were different interviews). And its interests revolved then only in terms of an attractive, cohesive great czarist Families and small domestic events. To arrange themselves little surprise spectacle (staging "Dragonflies and ants"), the Sovereign zaberutsya to the cabinet to consider his new album, and then - news: cinema scenes of the court photographer Ghana. Press office of the President frosts - skiing from the mountains at the small lake shore, Naslednikom games, which with the sled and donkey Vankoy, Chinizelli old circus performer, and clever Joy.
A Christmas Eve - the first Christmas tree: three hours - in the child upstairs after night - from the tree in Gatchina grandmother, and at the first day of Christmas - the traditional Christmas tree and Consolidated Convoy regiment.
Cases of joy and fairly.
About Great Princess could be in those days to say the words poet applicable to another royal Man:
And life does not lead to reach ...
But much of it his fate court said:
Already in its sanctuary stands
He was appointed drink cup.
