I just knew last night that Anna V. is younger than Alexandra! I thought they were just the  same age! No offence for Anna V.

Yes, Ana Vyrubova was born on July 16th, 1884, and Alix was born on November 1st, 1872.

Alexandra was born on June 6, not Nov 1st. It was Alexandra's sister Ella who was born on Nov Ist.

Really? Sorry then, got it wrong. I was arguing wit my brother when I wrote it, so I wasn't very concentrated. :(

Anya was quite young and no one would say she was very mature.

According to her own memoirs, Anya was married in 1907, making her 23 years old. That is not 'quite young', in fact, it was a little past prime age for brides in those days.

I don't feel guilt over the bad marriage led Alexandra to befriend her; they had already been close for a few years, beginning with Anya's near death from a fever in 1903. She was officially presented to court in 1905.

Sorry for delay in this reply. I must admit I didn't realise AV was 23 when she married; thought it was younger. I do assert that , though not chronologically that young, she was very inexperienced, and in a certain sense, more of a girl than a woman.

Sorry for reposting: Anna V in wedding gown Anna V in wedding gown1

I don't think that's Anna Vyrubova. Could it be her sister?

I had doubts too. Anna and Sana were quite alike, so it is highly possible. I know only for Vyrubova 1903 court dress photo. And is that wedding - dress? I doubt, reading they rarely toke their marrying photos.

Sana(Alexandra) Pistolkors with her husband and Vyrubova with Rasputin, March of 1914.

Vyrubova and Sana :

Whoever it is, it's someone I've seen before.

Ally, do those photos come from Beinecke? If so, do you remember which album?

I've taken those from Beinecke. Photo Album 5.

I thought it's Anna because of her figure. I also don't know that she looked much alike her sister.

Thanks. I've found the photos on page 26. The first captioned "Alya" in Vyrubova's writing. There's also one of Vyrubova's father in the same series, so I suspect this woman is a family member or close friend.

Thanks, Sarushka. Photo No.# 5 is interesting --- labeled as 'Tolstaya s sinom' (Tolstaya with son ). It was nee surname of mother of A.V, Nadezhda. 'Alya' was indeed sister of A.V.  ;-)

Does anyone know if Anya's deposition from 1918 is online, and if so, where?  Thank you -
