From that, I can see how well Kobylinsky had his relationship to the imperial family. It's just sad that he was replaced by Yakovlev on the last days in Tobolsk.

Yes, that's true.

Oh it's not Yakovlev. It must be Rodionov and Khoriakhov.

Anyway. Kobylynsky was friendly to the IF, more than some of the others...

Who were Olga's ladies-in-waiting (if there were)?

Ally Kumari · « **Reply #50 on:** March 09, 2009, 05:03:44 AM »

I don´t know of any. I believe S. Buxhoeveden wrote she spent a grea deal of time with tow eldest Grand Duchesses, because they had no lady-in-waiting of their own, while Maria and Anastasia were still entrusted to Ekaterina Schneider.

I've read somewhere that the Big pair has ladies-in-waiting while the little pair did not have.

A strange coincidence connected with Kolylinskiy. I live in Lodz, Poland. In November -December 1914 there took place one of the biggest and most serious operations of WW1. About 600 000 Rusian and German military men participated in it. The Germans wanted to undermine the power of the Russian Army and force it to withdraw Then they could act on th e Western front. The Russians planned to make the direct way to Berlin in the vicinity of Lodz. Neither succeeded. more than 100 000 Russian soldiers died and were buried on military cemetaries. Colonel Kobylinskiy participated in this operation and was seriously wounded...

It's just so surprising to find out that Prince Edward of Wales (predestined to be King Edward VIII) met Olga in this gathering!

It would be surprising if he was not present to meet Imperial family

It was taken in 1908, right? There are more photos from same day. I agree with both.

But why here we are speaking only for Olga?Was Tatiana too young for marrying?Or the war began and nobody thought of that?

Sarushka · « **Reply #57 on:** April 11, 2009, 04:31:45 PM »

This thread originally started in the Olga forum, so it's mostly about her. ;-)

IrinaAlexandrovna · « **Reply #58 on:** April 12, 2009, 12:09:09 PM »

Ah you have right Sarushka...but with risk to get off topic i have same question.... Was Tatiana prepared for marring?

nena · « **Reply #59 on:** April 12, 2009, 01:23:20 PM »

I have never heard such a story for Tatiana. Maybe, since she was older one, but wasn't sure to whom.
