Here are the last known photos of four of the imperial children, taken aboard the Rus:
Alexei & Olga
Tatiana (facing the camera on the left, by the window) & Anastasia
These photos , while unimaginably precious, are hard to take. Because of the looks on thier faces of course, but also when
one compares them to the river of beautiful images that came before. These scratchy, poor images
make it seem like the family are already fading out , like a signal poorly received . What I'm trying to say is the photos themselves
are symbolic of the situation and heart breaking
