And then again from the shadow of paradisiacal

And for you, bowing knees,

Prayer to God vozneset.

Severe mental anguish and Cross started for the Great Princess Olga since the departure of Their Majesties from Tobolsk.

When it became known that Avgusteyshie parents should leave, and allowed them to travel only one of the daughters, Princess Great advice among themselves and decided that Olga weak health and it is better to stay in Tobolsk, where Naslednik and stayed.

"I shudder to recall that night" - wrote T. Botkina - and all her subsequent days, you can imagine what the experiences and parents and children almost never razluchavshihsya and not so much loving each other. The children remained in some foreign city, the sick, not knowing when uvidyatsya with parents. Besides approaching Easter, the great holiday, especially honored Their Highnesses, they always used to hold together goveya on Strastnoy week. "

the evening of April 12, when preparations for departure were completed, P. Zhilyar Gosudarynyu saw, which sat on the couch, with a number of two daughters, and they cried so much that their faces swollen.

Around four o'clock in the morning, when at dawn pale spring day Siberian koshevy departure from the Governor's house and wrapped a corner, lifting off from the remaining Sovereign expensive and Gosudarynyu, father, mother and sister away into the unknown, surrounded by soldiers with rifles, three figures in gray suits long stood on the porch and slowly, one by one, entered the house ... "The Grand Princess - as P. wrote Zhilyar - returned to their top pass and, sobbing, past the doors of his brother.

April 22 - sad eve of Easter, all suppressed; no news from the left. Great Princess Olga says one of the last, surviving letters to us, which, of course, above all, and to transmit alarms about uvezennyh: "They live in three rooms, eating out of a total boiler healthy. The road is very tired because shaking terribly. Little better, but still lies. It will be better to go our own. You, typically, you understand how difficult. It became lighter. Green still no. Irtysh went to Good. Summer weather. God is with you, dear. All generally strong, laskayu. "

May 4 karauly while the remaining were busy Latvians headed by the stoker Hohryakovym gendarme and cruel master Rodionov, who the next day during worship around the throne put Latvians to follow the priest, so all stunned that the Great Princess Olga - recalls E. Kobylinskii - wept and said that if had known that this will, then it would not ask for prayer. Treatment of the Great Knyazhnami become more and more outrageous. Rodionov had prevented Great Princess Olga Nikolayevna not only lock on the door of their bedroom the night, but shut it to, as he said, "every minute I could go and see what you do." Volkov something he said on that occasion: "Girls, embarrassing ..."

Rodionov immediately ran into rough form and reiterated his order to Olga Nikolayevna. Great Knyazhnam not been without its permission not only go walking, but also lowered on the lower deck. The feelings experienced by the Great Princess Olga, are the two best-known poems, prayers, perepisannymi in Tobolsk. In Ipatiev house were later found the Great Books Princess Olga Nikolayevna, among them the English book "The End Mary Sings Magnificat" (- 1917 g. Mama . Tobolsk) invested in the book and painted carved images of paper Transfiguration Church of Our Saviour in Novgorod and, in addition, invested three leaf paper, one of them written poem "Broken vase" looks fragile, at the hands of two other Great Knyazhny written printed here poems.

May 7 left Tobolsk.

According to T. Botkinoy, Harassment continued protection of the steamboat, all progressed. To open the cabin doors Great Knyazhon were assigned hour, so that they could not even undress, all of provisions, sent Their Vysochestvam residents and monastery, was selected.

In Tyumen gathered on the dock a huge crowd of people, the King's privetstvovavshaya children under heavy escort them held a special train, which arrived on the night of May 11 in Yekaterinburg.

"Morning - recalls P. Zhilyar - about 9 hours along several cross became our train, and I saw some four persons travelling to the wagon children. A few minutes; Seaman Nagorno carried Naslednika; it went Grand Princess, loaded with suitcases and small things. Shel rain; had signed feet in the mud. A few moments later escaped janitors, stripping children to the city. Near the Great Princess Olga Zaslavskiy3 villages. "

Fifty-three days of life in Yekaterinburg were for the Great Princess Olga, as well as for the whole of the czarist Families days of physical deprivation, unbearable mental torture, harassment unbridled protection, complete isolation from the world, and doom of eternal concern. It was no longer life, despite all the spiritual force cohesive czarist Families.

Housed in the upper floor of Ipatiev House. The Grand Princess occupy a room with one window, going on Voznesensky Pereulok, outside room of Their Majesties, the door of which was removed, the first two or three days of their beds in the room there was not sleeping on the floor.

About Tsar Martyrs life during this time we will learn from the stories Shopping Sovereign, Chemadurova T., and workers in the protection of the former.

Stand up to eight or nine o'clock in the morning, going from room Sovereign, sang prayers; Gosudarynya daughters afternoon abortion or cloth, walked a half-hour, often at these walks Great Princess Olga make patient Naslednika; engage in any physical labour is not allowed. Lunch happened about three hours of the day, sacrificed food from the cafeteria Soviet, and later were allowed to cook at home, lunch was common with a maid; put on the table bowl, spoons, forks lacked; participated in a luncheon and Red Army soldiers, were included in the room occupied by czarist Families, which wanted.

The Grand Princess sometimes sang spiritual songs. Heruvimskuyu songs, but as something sad and secular, the motive for the song "He died poor in a military hospital."

And in this time of the curfew rooms (story room of the Great Knyazhon) hate piano sounds drunk or singing revolutionary songs uhabistyh

Inside and outside the premises were sentries. Ustraivalas roll inmates.

When Princess went to the toilet, the Red Army soldiers went after them; everywhere were writing different abomination; climbed on the fence in front of the room and windows tsar "Let's play a different bad songs", as one of the officers showed protection; stole small things, in the evenings Great Knyazhon forced to play on piano. Only a deep faith and strong family support for the courage of the prisoners.

People protection, gross, cruel, ozverelye, were struck by their humility, simplicity: captivated their full dignity of mental clarity, and they feel the superiority of those who showed such greatness of spirit. I replaced the original brutality of many deep compassion.

"It is my very own eyes they looked several times - showed Yakimov A. - I became the soul to treat them quite differently: they feel sorry for me became, I feel sorry for them has become as people."

Priest Storojev, served May 20 at the home of Ipatiev obednitsu both conveyed their impression of Great Knyazhnah: "All four daughters were, remember, in dark skirts and simple belenkih koftochkah. Hair of all they have cut quite short at the back, they had a kind of cheerful. " He saw them at the time of service on July 1, three days before his death. "They were dressed in black skirt and white shirt, hair on their head podrosli and now reaches to the level of the rear shoulders, all daughters Sovereign, - adds a father - this time were I not say in the spirit of oppression, but still produced seems as if tired. " "They are exactly what some others - noticed deacon - not even sings none."

On Monday, July 2, two women wash floors in the Ipatiev house; Grand Princess helped clean, moved in a bedroom bed and re cheerfully among themselves.

One of the officers saw the protection of the Great Princess Olga for the last time in the garden in Ipatiev house July 3, about four hours of the day, to walk with Sovereign.

And in a few hours, on the night of July 4, Great Princess Olga, clean Russian girl who was killed by one of the rooms in the lower deck houses, located just under the Great Knyazhon room.

They wake middle of the night and held there Yurovsky, who then killed in their eyes Sovereign.

"The Grand Princess prislonilis to the wall in the room. Over the same shots razdalsya first female shrieks Creek and several women's votes. "

They apparently survived the horror of the latest shooting the most expensive in the world - his father and brother.

Later investigation found during excavation in the forest near the village of Koptyaki small things that belonged to the Great Princess 4.

Thus, the glorious Russian girl and truly Great Russian Princess, one of the first crowned tragically innocent martyrdom Russian people in our terrible years.

Favorite daughter of Emperor Nicholas II, she inherited from him all the best part of his soul: simplicity, kindness, humility, honesty and unwavering Knight's comprehensive love to the motherland.

Poutchek long and eldest daughter of Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna, she learned from her sincere and deep evangelical faith, a directness, an ability to own, a fortress spirit. Gosudaryni Testament, who spoke about: "always faithful and loving, dedicated, clear and strong as death, were unclear and difficult.

"At first - your duty, then - rest and recreation.

Your duty to perform, that's what is best.

Lord predostav rest! "

So she wrote in a diary Sovereign, which is inspired it and their daughters.

A captive she said: "Only to resist, but would not flinch spirit, just to keep the heart pure and strong."

The two strongest influences - a father and mother - ran strong cohesion posed for a rare czarist Families. If all this is combined with natural novels Great Princess Olga, and so was able to pass as oratorios open to all, and although short, but very difficult to experience life, then it is brought before us light, the image of a beautiful Russian girls with great clarity soul.

She was able to live in the name of the fact that she believed in, loved, and it was his direct path. It is not left out of life, but it did not go into effect on the fight, and it gently, but with a clear directness defended his life, which burned brightly its bright lights, as something solid and enduring, that relied on its soul ": her deep faith, boundless love for Russia, in their Families (and it - to Gosudaryu to Nasledniku), its pure way girls.

Natura whole, deep, she lived and left neuznannaya, neotsenennaya; whom rarely opened onaa his mental world (think one Sovereign, in part - Great Princess Tatiana), with a simple hearted, it was a sincere feelings to the people, especially the station and love - to ordinary people with an active and love - to the affected. Her modest life will be a living sympathy and deep interest in itself is already on the little, listen, it showed in life, listen priotkrylos of its complexity and a lot of mental promised peace, for the role to which it may have been designed to majestic.

All boldly naletevshie storms. The victims of the tragedy Russia - under her become.

I. ... C. Shmelev, referring to a group of Russian girls in exile, said: "The glorious Russian girl! Russian bezdorozhnitsy you, you go left Russia, potonuvshy-Grad Kitezh! Go boldly - and you will find ... You have great: creating a new, pure Russian family, update, clean the pollution from the native people. You will be the people of God, the truth will suffer in life, anything valuable than vozvelichena Russian woman: compliance with debt, dedication, mercy, purity, spirituality, docility, the readiness of valor, fidelity and depth of love ... With God in the soul, with the faith, with the memory of something, miraculously, you will be pure stands, you will be proud sacred: you, the Russian foreign girls, and together with you and those who have preserved themselves there - you great .. appointed . Men - build, you - to consecrate ... "

In this coming will be a great feat to let bright and vivid memories "of something, miraculously, clean" image of the beautiful and true Russian girls - Great Princess Olga.

Let her radiant face, her life will be a living example, calls beacon.
