Princess Anastasia Series: 'Bednaya Nastya'

[Marc]

Can anyone tell me(if you know) about the TV serial witch is called ''Princess Anastasia'' and it is placed in the first half of 19th century!Very good scenography with the help of Sony pictures filmed in Russia in number of palaces...Talks about Crown Prince Alexander(future Alexander II) and lady in waiting of his mother Olga Kalinovskaya,also about Princes Dolgoruky,Repnin,Barons Korff...Does anybody know how much is this TV serial based on true and how much not!?!Thanks

Marc, this sounds interesting but I never heard of it. When was it shown? Who is the "Princess Anastasia" that the title refers to? It can't be GD Anastasia, Nicholas II's daughter, since this is taking place in the first half of 19th century....

[Marc]

We still don't know because it is still the beginning(there are 176 episodes) and is about some girls hidden indentity!It is the beginning of the 19th century so it is not Grand Duchess Anastasia since the shown characters are for example-Emperor Nicholas I,his wife Charlotte,young Alexander II,their court and the whole society circle of St.Peterburg(Dolgoruky,Korff,Repnin,Obolensky families...) at the time!It is filmed in various palaces-in Hermitage or Winter Palace,in the Palace oposite to Gostinny dvor(yellow or orange one-just don't remember the name)!About the summer palaces of the Korff and Dolgoruky family(in serial)I don't  know where are they!

[Marc]

P.S.Grand Duchess Anastasia lived in the 20th century,because 20th century in counted from the year 1901!And a serial is about first part of 19th century witch means from something between 1801-1850!

It sounds good, where is it on, Marc? What country do you live in?

[Marc]

I live in Belgrade(ex Yugoslavia) and it's on one of our TV channels!Don't know the Russian name of the TV serial but I will try to see how it is called in Russian...

[Marc]

Just saw that the Russian name of the serial is not ''Princess Anastasia'' as I posted!TV that shows that serial invented the tittle,but the originsal in Russian is different!Original title in Russian I can't write since there is no cyrillic letters here!I also saw that the name of one of the main actresses is Elena Korikova...If this means something to you...

[Marc]

It is filmed in corporation between Amedia and Sony pictures...

What could be the exact translation of the tittle?

[JaneEyre5381]

What could be the exact translation of the tittle?

The translation would be "Poor" (or "Unfortunate') Nast'ya".

Ok,Dasha,I now understand!Thanks,but I wonder if everything in this serial is based on true of it was just being invented by scenarist?
