Is there any OTMA anecdotes at christmas you know about?

Hello anon! Yes there are plenty!!! I’m so happy you asked this because Christmas is today and what better way to learn more about Romanov Christmases than to hear it from their own words! ❤️

“We had a Christmas party for all who live in the house with us. During the evening of the 24th, at 9 1/2 o'cl. we had a vsenoshnaya, rather late, but the priest could not get here calier, and at the table, with all the icons [we] set up a tree and lit it up. It stood there during the entire vsenoshnaya. It was very nice and cozy. We did not hang anything on the tree.” - Letter from Tatiana to Countess Zinaida Tolstaya, 16 December 1917

“Hello my dear Ritka! Well, the Holidays are upon us already. We have a Christmas tree in the corner of the hall and it dispenses a wonderful scent, but not at all the same as in Tsarskoe [Selo]. This is some special kind of tree called "bal-sam." It smells strongly of oranges and tangerines, and there is resin flowing down the trunk constantly. There are no ornaments, but only silver streams and wax candles, of course from the church, since there are no other.” Letter from Olga Nikolaevna to friend Margarita “Rita” Khitorovo, December 26th 1917

“We generally spent Christmas at Tsarskoe Selo. It is less observed than Easter in general, but in the palace it is a great festival. There were no fewer than eight Christmas trees in various parts of the palace. The Empress dressed them all herself, and personally chose the presents for each member of her household, and for each officer, to the number of about five hundred. A tree was arrayed for the Cossacks in the riding-school. The children and I had a tree for ourselves. It was fixed into a musical-box which played the German Christmas hymn, and turned round and round. It was indeed a glittering object. All the presents were laid out on white covered tables, and the tree stood for several days an object of intense interest and admiration to the children. They were very sad when it was dismantled just before we went to St. Petersburg, but they were consoled by being allowed to help, and to divide the toys between the members of their own household.” Six Years At The Russian Court by Margaretta Eagar

“The little girlies were delighted to se her [Empress Alexandra Feodorovna] so gorgeously attired; they circled round her in speechless admiration for some time, and suddenly the Grand Duchess Olga clapped her hands, and exclaimed fervently, "Oh! Mama, you are just like a lovely Christmas tree!" After divine service was finished there was a drawing-room, at which all the debutantes were presented.” Six Years At The Russian Court by Margaretta Eagar

I hope you all have an AMAZING Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! 🎄🎉🤍

this is an odd question but what color hair did OTMA have? i can never tell with the photos being in black and white 

okay so this is definitely controversial because people definitely believe different things but this is definitely what I believe and i am definitely certain that my beliefs are true.

Olga had dark blond chestnut hair. Her hair was the lightest out of all of her siblings. It got darker as she got older (as is normal) and the color was lightish brown hair

Tatiana had the darkest hair of the group. Her hair was a darkish brown color and it was the darkest around 1916

Maria and Anastasia’s hair was the exact same color. It was just a normal brown color.

And keep in mind that all hair darkens as people get older so just having one hair color is never consistent.

I hope this helps and thank you for asking!

Hi, do you know OTMAAs favourite colours?

Hello there, thank you for the great question!

We do know their favourite colours - sort of!

Tatiana Nikolaevna's favourite colour was purple, this is 100% confirmed in this letter sent by Pierre Gilliard:

“It seems that purple is his [Dmitri Pavlovich] favourite colour… Alexei Nikolaevich says that it is also yours"

Maria and Anastasia started hand colouring their photo albums from around 1913 onwards. In these photos, they colour in their outfits in different colours. Tatiana is shown wearing a lot of purple outfits in these albums, so it's safe to assume that they are accurate to the colours that each girl preferred. Anastasia wears a LOT of red and pink clothing, whilst Olga and Maria prefer green and blue (Maria seems to have preferred light blue). Olga also sometimes is shown wearing pink.

Olga:

Mostly blue, some green, some pink

Tatiana:

Purple. Lots of purple! And some blue

Maria:

Maria is probably the one with the least distinct preferred colour. Lots of blue and green though.

Anastasia:

Lots of red and pink

In 1917, family friend Zinaida Tolstaya sent OTMA four little bags, of varying colours. These are of course a limited colour selection, but could indicate their preferences. Here is the letter Tatiana sent in reply:

Tsarskoe Selo , 23 June 1917⁣ Dearest ZS, [Zinadia Tolstoya, family friend]⁣ I am terribly ashamed that I still have not thanked you for your letter on the 29th of May and the lovely embroidered bags. I took the bluish one with multicolored flowers, Olga-blue with yellow roses, Anastasia- pink, and Maria- all yellow. They are very useful and those always remind us of you...’

This matches up with Olga's preference for blue and Anastasia's for pink.

As for Alexei, I'm sadly not too sure. He wore traditional sailor suits rather than being able to express his favourite colours through jumpers etc. Just in case though, his 1916 diary is orange-y brown, and this rather fabulous formal outfit is dark blue, though he was very young at the time. As I said though, we can only guess about Alexei's favourite colour.

I hope this was helpful!

coming in with another le Carré related ask: do you have any recommendations of fiction authors who also write about the moral darkness/complexities of the cold war (or mayhaps the drug war), but preferably with more women involved? I asked my local librarian for a recommendation along those lines and all the stuff I got was either cold war but primarily focused on men (graham greene's quiet america), women but it's wwii and they're presented as straightforward hero narratives, or like...stuff about women and nuclear science which is just not what I'm about right now. for context, I'm kinda trying to inhale vibes for fanfic reasons (although the fanfic is not of a le Carré book). if any recs spring to mind, I would love them! if not no worries <333

Hello! I do; they are not from the Anglophone world.

Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum, Heinrich Böll, and its film adaptation (I know Penguin Classics has an English translation)

Der geteilte Himmel, Christa Wolf (honestly, I recommend all of Wolf's work; this lives in my head rent-free. It's translated as They Divided the Sky for reasons I don't understand)

The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera (although it's very different, I also really enjoy the film adaptation with Daniel Day-Lewis, Juliette Binoche, Lena Olin, and Derek de Lint, not solely for intellectual reasons, ahem)

Der Russe ist einer, der Birken liebt, Olga Grjasnowa (translated as All Russians Love Birch Trees)

On my TBR:

Der englische Liebhaber, Federica da Cesco

Guter Mann im Mittelfeld, Andrei Mihailescu

Bonus not-a-book recommendation: "Das Versprechen," dir. Margarethe von Trotta

Who was Queen Alexandra's favorite sister-in-law? That is, her brothers' wives

Hello anon! ☺

Queen Alexandra's favourite sister-in-law was most definitely Olga Constantinovna, the wife of her brother, King George I of the Helleness! Because they got along very well! Unlike Alexandra's relationship with one of her other sister-in-laws, Queen Lovisa of Denmark. And with her her youngest sister-in-law, Princess Marie d'Orléans, the wife or her brother, Prince Valdemar, she also got along with well, but their relationship wasn't as close as how her and Olga's relationship was, and i'm not quite sure why!

OLYA FUCKS THE MOST??? No woman can be banged then look absolutely calm. Unless she was top and forced Sergei to be bottom….

The only time I remember Olga ever looking distressed throughout the series was during the grinder incident flashbacks in the mill.

what is your dream rare photograph you wish you or someone will come across one day?

Hi anon! This is a GREAT question! As a photo and footage collector, any new photo of royals that you come across is a literal DREAM so when you have seen most of the photos out there, rares can be a true blessing. I definitely have a solid favorite that I would love to share!

Any photos of NAOTMAA at Yekaterinburg. I would SELL MY SOUL for photos of the Romanov Family during their final months at the House of Special Purpose. There are two surviving photos of Olga, Tatiana, Anastasia, and Alexei on the steamer Arya on the way to Yekaterinburg (which are the last photos taken of them) but there are probably no photos of them at the house because their cameras were confiscated upon arrival (or so I was told). I will always have hope that there are surviving photos in the archives or that there are some floating around.

Thank you for asking! 🤍

Hello! I hope your uni project is going well 🤍 Know that you're very busy with that, so take all the time it needs to answer this, but I would love to ask if you have footage of NAOTMAA (or maybe just some of children) kissing cross while taking part in a religious event (and if u know what that event was, I'm guessing but not sure)? I saw that video a few times but didn't save it :(

Thanks in advance!!

Hi there!! Thank you for your kindness and patience <3

I think I know the footage you’re talking about - is it this one? It’s one of my favourites, I love Olga’s reaction :)

It’s from Spring 1913, during Tercentenary celebrations! It was filmed in Suzdal, a monastery town. One of the descendants of the first Tsar was ruler of Suzdal. I believe the kissing of the Cross is part of a Divine Liturgy ceremony, however I am not Orthodox, so if anyone knows more information, please correct me if I am wrong!

I tried to slow it down to normal speed. Unfortunately the original footage cut out a bit of Tatiana’s turn.

I hope this is what you were looking for :)
