Sorry to be late to this party, but I just came across this thread recently. Does anyone know if Ioann's letters have been translated into English, and if so, where I might find them? I don't speak or read Russian, but I'm quite interested in reading these letters!
Thanks so much!

I was wondering if anyone had information on what exactly happened to Maria Nikolaevna before her death, as I've read that she moved to Italy after her second marriage, due to the nature of it. However she died in Saint Petersburg, was she moved back to Petersburg when she was deemed extremely ill, or was she later able to return to Russia?
Do you know if there will be a catalogue (a book or digital) of the items that were displayed at the exhibition so that those who were not able to attend in person could still have a glimpse? I have seen a few short videos, read a few articles etc., but would still love to have a more proper look at all those interesting things.
P.S. Sorry if it is already mentioned on one of those pages, but my German in nearly non-existent.
Hello!
I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to have a look at this book «ЛЕТОПИСЬ ЖИЗНИ Великого князя Сергия Александровича и Великой княгини Елисаветы Феодоровны Романовых»

From the description it's quite impossible to understand whether it is a book only about Grand Duchess's and Grand Duke's work for the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society (which I would also find very interesting) or is it about the Grand Ducal couple in general?
I also don't seem to be able to find where the book could be purchased (and if it is possible to order it from abroad).
I would be very thankful for any information.
I think this is the first time I'm hearing of her. Who was she exactly? Just a friend? The surname does sound familiar, though. I think I may have seen it in Zinaida Yusupova's correspondence...
She's the one who found the peach in her bed, I believe that's also where you might have seen the name.
If I remember correctly, she was the lady-in-waiting for the Empress, then Alexandra Georgievna and along the line got friendly with the Grand Ducal couple. However, I am not an expert on these matters.
So sorry to be reviving an old thread, but would anyone be able to confirm the nicknames of Ella's ladies-in-waiting? I know a couple (eg. Ekaterina Kozlianinova - Kitty and Princess Lyudmila Lobanova - Fafka), but with such an abundance of names, I can sometimes get confused...
Does anyone know when, where and on what occasion these photos were taken? It seems they are shot at the same time.
Would anyone know where one could find GD Elizabeth's letters to GD Serge? As I understand they were written in English? I would love to read them in original, but if not, then Russian is OK, too. I have recently ordered part 4 of GD Serge's biography, but I'm not sure if all the letters are in there.
The letters were published in Russian in 2011, the book is out of stock now.

Thank You very much for the information. I'll keep looking for this book, perhaps it'll pop up somewhere.
Maybe you know if any of GD Elizabeth's letters to her husband were published in the 4 volume Russian biography of GD Sergei? I'm currently waiting for volume 4 to arrive.
ETA: As I understand, at least some (don't know if all) of those letters can be found in this book as well:
