THE LAST DAYS OF MARIA. PART 1. * Maria attempted to befriend her guards both at Tsarskoye Selo and Tobolsk and soon learned their names and details about their wives and children. * Unaware of her danger, she commented at Tobolsk that she would be happy to live there indefinitely if only she could take a walk outside without being guarded continuously. * Maria and her sister Anastasia burned their letters and diaries in April 1918 because they feared their possessions would be searched. * Tsarina Alexandra chose Maria to accompany Tsar Nicholas II and herself to Yekaterinburg when the family was briefly separated in April 1918. * Tsarina felt she could depend upon her third daughter to help her as she could not rely upon the deeply depressed Olga or Anastasia, who was still a child. * She and her parents were searched by guards at the Ipatiev House and were warned they would be subject to further searches. * Maria passed the time by attempting to befriend members of the Ipatiev House Guard. She showed them pictures from her photo albums and talked with them about their families and her own hopes for a new life in England if she was released. * Alexander Strekotin, one of the guards, recalled in his memoirs that she "was a girl who loved to have fun." Another of the guards recalled Maria's buxom beauty with appreciation and said she didn't assume an air of grandeur. * One former sentry recalled that Maria was often scolded by her mother in "severe and angry whispers," apparently for being too friendly with the guards at Yekaterinburg. #romanov#romanovs#romanova#dynasty#romanovdynasty#grandduchess#grandduchessmaria#mariaromanov#marianikolaevna#royal#princess#russia#ofrussia#royalkids#royals#royal#marianikoalevna#grandduchessmarianikolaevnaя

THE LAST DAYS OF MARIA. PART 4. * A heavy layer of smoke had accumulated in the room from the gunfire and from plaster dust released from the walls by errant bullets, and the gunmen could see only the lower bodies of those who were still alive. Ermakov fired at Maria, and his bullet struck her in the thigh. She fell to the floor with Anastasia and Demidova and lay there moaning. Ermakov then turned on the wounded Maria and Anastasia, who was still unharmed. He struggled with Maria and tried to stab her with a bayonet. The jewels sewn into her clothes protected her, and he said he finally shot her in the head. But the skull that is almost certainly Maria's has no bullet wound. Perhaps the drunken Ermakov inflicted a scalp wound, knocking her unconscious and producing a considerable flow of blood, leading Ermakov to think he had killed her. He then struggled with Anastasia, whom he also claimed he shot in the head. Then the bodies were removed from the house. The facial area of Maria's skull was destroyed, but Yurovsky wrote that the victims' faces were shattered with rifle butts at the burial site. Though Maria unquestionably died with her family, the exact cause of her death remains a mystery. #romanov#romanovs#romanova#dynasty#romanovdynasty#grandduchess#grandduchessmaria#mariaromanov#marianikolaevna#royal#princess#russia#ofrussia#royalkids#royals#royal#marianikoalevna#grandduchessmarianikolaevnaя

LAST DAYS OF MARIA. PART 2. * In his memoirs, one guard recalled that on one occasion another guard forgot himself and told an off-color joke to the grand duchesses during one of these meetings. The offended Tatiana ran from the room, "pale as death." Maria eyed the man and said, "Why are you not disgusted with yourselves when you use such shameful words? Do you imagine that you can woo a well-born woman with such witticisms and have her be well disposed towards you? Be refined and respectable men and then we can get along." * In their memoirs, several guards reported that both the Tsarina and her older sister Olga appeared angry with Maria in the days following the incident (Maria slipped away from the group with Ivan Skorokhodov for a private moment)and that Olga avoided her company. * on 15 July, Maria and her sisters appeared in good spirits as they joked with one another and moved the beds in their room so visiting cleaning women could scrub the floor. * On the afternoon of 16 July 1918, the last full day of her life, Maria walked in the garden with her father and sisters. * As the family was eating dinner that night, Yakov Yurovsky, the head of the detachment, came in and announced that the family's kitchen boy and Alexei's playmate, 14-year-old Leonid Sednev, must gather his things and go to a family member. The boy had actually been sent to a hotel across the street because the guards did not want to kill him along with the rest of the Romanov party. * Late that night, on the night of 16 July, the family was awakened and told to come down to the lower level of the house because there was unrest in the town at large and they would have to be moved for their own safety. #romanov#romanovs#romanova#dynasty#romanovdynasty#grandduchess#grandduchessmaria#mariaromanov#marianikolaevna#royal#princess#russia#ofrussia#royalkids#royals#royal#marianikoalevna#grandduchessmarianikolaevnaя

Maria and her favourite perfume, ‘Lilas Pourpre’ by Coty. It was originally released in 1913 before being discontinued sometime around the early 1930s.
