I'm trying to write about those 78 days in Ipatev house; a novel of course, but i would like to be as most historical correct as possible.
In
The Fate of the Romanovs - my most important source of infos, for obvious reasons! - I've read the memories of the guards, recolling what happened after the "accident" between Maria and Ivan Skorokhodov, that is: Aleksandra could be heard scoling her daughter for her behaviour, even if whispering; Olga was very angry with her sister and began to avoid her intentionally.
I'm not surprised for Aleksandra's reaction - at the contrary, i think it's obvious, knowing her personality and the fact. But i'm a little swuroprised for Olga's; may be i'm wrong, but i thinkls this was the first time something had the strenght to separate OTMA in someway.
In my "novel" i want to concentrate on the feelings, so this event is very important; i was quite puzzled when i tried to imagine what really happened. I didn't find any mention of a specific argument, a angry discussion - maybe there were none - but it's hard to me believe a kind girl like Olga avoid her sister - for so long, (cause i remember, if i'm right, Jurovskij said that Olga was angry with Maria till the end).
I've tried to imagine how could have been Olga's behaviuor in particular, how should have Maria suffered for it, and i've so many questions!
Did Tatiana and Anastasia have a part in it? And if yes, how? And Nicholas? Was there an argument or only silence and hate? Didn't Olga and Maria really resolve this thing till the died?
I'm very confused, but i should write very much about it, so i would like to know your opinions . i'm sure you contribute will help me writing!
Thanks everyone in advance!
