Tatiana Nicholaievna / Tatiana's regiment

« on: August 02, 2004, 01:40:10 AM »

Does anyone know when Tatiana got her regiment?  I recall reading that Olga's was given on her nameday (July 11) in 1910 at fifteen.  So would Tatiana have gotten hers in 1912 on her nameday, which I believe was in January?

It took me forever to find one of them, but here are the two photos I promised I would post.


I made this one smaller and cleaned it up a bit so it wasn't so grainy.


This one's smaller too.  If y'all want the full sizes, just tell me and I can email them to you or something.

At 16 the girls were considered old enough to wear their hair up and go to dances. The red sashes are of the Order of St. Catherine, and so are the little stars.

I've a better scan of that photograph from Nikolai !!: The Family Album.  It's also in some other book I have, and looks clearer as I recall, but I can't figure out which book.  Here 'tis.



I do remember some book that had an ever so obvious fake photo: it was Anastasia, Rasputin, Alexandra and Olga, and that was a REAL fake.

That photo was taken in 1916.  I've got that one and another photo taken of the same session where they look better.  When I get home I'll post them both.

I read this book when I was at Stanford University and intend on buying it from GRB.  It's absolutely adorable.

Alas, she's 30 now, but when she was younger, Laurie Holden looked like Olga (she was Princess Ekaterina Dashkova in Young Catherine).  She's an amazing actress.

I agree the gal who plays Wendy could have been one of the girls.  I forget her name, but I ended up thinking Maria instead of Anastasia for her...she has those same blue eyes and pretty mouth.

A scene that's not on VHS is where Tatiana reveals herself to a Bolshevik guard.

I think the scene where the girls are painting with M. Gilliard is sorta cute.  But I don't like that movie in general.

The ball you're talking about from that painting was based on a ball at the Assembly Hall of the Nobility, February 1913.
