Very interesting interview. I'll preorder the book right away! : )

About the code Olga used in her diaries. I thought the code was cracked, at least the code Olga used in her diary of 1913.

If it was, I was not aware of it. If you have any information about that, please let me know. Thanks! :)

Some of the entries have been decoded in "Nicholas & Alexandra At Home with the Last Tsar and His Family".

I took this picture from a book in Moscow in 2009. I can't remember the name of the book, perhaps it was the new edition of "The Romanovs and the Crimea".

Yes, it probably is. I have a copy of the German language edition of this book, "De Romanows auf der Krim", and this picture can be found on page 260.
"The Correspondence of the Empress Alexandra of Russia with Ernst Ludwig and Eleonore, Grand Duke and Duchess of Hesse. 1878-1916"
"Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig and Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine in Italy - 1893"
"Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine - Gebhard Zernin's Festschrift"
