Ella and her Siblings

[Russka Princess]

 thanks they are lovly on the one pic with VHM, i belive there have Ella short hair right ?

i think so.

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes but I forgot where I saw it.

[Olga Maria]

The Hessian sisters have very deep religious sense, don't you all think?

[Eric_Lowe]

I don't think VMH was as deep as Ella or Alicky. She was much more practical.

[Olga Maria]

Is Irene same as Ella and Alicky or a bit like VMH?

[Eric_Lowe]

I think Irene was more VMH than Alicky, so both sisters had hemohilia kids. I did not see Irene brining her child to Rasputin for healing...

[nena]

I'd say Rasputin was brought to 'heal' Tsarevich. Alix's believe in God also is often called a bit fanatic (don't get me in wrong way). Ella accepted Orthodox with all heart. I am very proud of her.

[Eric_Lowe]

Yet...Rasputin and Ella were enemies. I read he once step on a photo of Ella...

[nena]

Yes -- they were enemies...How many times she tried to tell Alexandra how and who he was....Alexandra only listened her and was silence. Didn't believe to her sister.

 

[Eric_Lowe]

Alicky was very stubborn. Ella tried to warn her but to no avil...

[Olga Maria]

I'm also into question of Alix why she is so sensitive of hearing ones disparaging Rasputin.
It's just natural that others believe him,others do not (I'm on this side). Why can't she accept this fact?
I know she doesn't want to hear something bad for Rasputin because she knows Rasputin would feel hurt. Alix also believes in his capacity to heal Aleksei in the most dreadful times.
(yeah. I have to say this in Alix's thread......right?)

Just read yesterday how Ella reacted on Serge's death. She didn't cry on other people's presence but when she's already alone, she gave up. She sobbed a lot.
Someone was with her ( I can't remember who that was).

[Eric_Lowe]

Marie P and Dimitri was with her at this time. VMH also came as soon as she could.

Indeed. Only Rasputin could save her son. Alexei not only her son but also the future of Russia (she believed), so nobody could ask her to listen to anything against her son's savioir...

[Olga Maria]

If the IF have such, why not Ella? She's also a saint. I'm still starting to dig the outrageous Internet for such stories. If any of you has one from books about her,feel fee to post here.

[Eric_Lowe]

The official version was that Rasputin had hypnotic technics that put the heir to sleep and through relaxation stopped the bleeding. Even Olga Alexandrovna cannot explain the strange way he could keep the bleeding stop, that is until he made a pass at her...

[nena]

Possible, but also Rasputin kept a icon, which also had some hypnotic techincs to Aleksei Nicholaievich.
