Anna Demidova (1878-1918)

[Mike]

Niuta is a rarely used dimunitive for Anna, a shorter form of the more widespread Aniuta.

I'm looking for some pictures of the Tsarina Alexandra's faithful lady-in-waiting, Anna Demidova. I could only find 2, and they weren't the best quality at all!

[Sarushka]

I know of only two photos of Demidova. They're probably no better quality than you've already seen:


(IMO, her eyes have been retouched in the second photo.)

There's also the third one I am aware of :



Direct link, better quality.

Also, there is fuller/bigger of the first one Sarushka posted. I'll try to find it.

Are there any videos of the Romanovs inside one of their palaces with any of their servants, preferably Anna Demidova? Thanks!

[lilianna]

Unfortunately, no video. Only photos.
I have a paper from the magazine about her family, her city (Cherepovets), and there are photos of letters to her address where she lives - Tsarskoe Selo, Alexander Palace.
There is a story of her cousin. I can put on the forum, if necessary.
All in Russian.

I am sending an article from the journal about Anna Demidova. Article in Russian.

Thank you! The first shows off how pretty she really was.

[RealAnastasia]

Yes; she was a true Russian beauty. I think that Demídova, Kharotonov, Trupp and Doctor Botkin must be remembered for their loyalty. NAOTMAA were martyrs, but they also were, for they choose to follow their masters until the end...and they've found death along with them. God bless them!

In case some of you missed Paul Kulikovsky's latest issue of "Romanov News", No. 63 --

In the town of Cheropovets they have now affixed a plaque honoring Anna Demidova on her childhood home.

I don't "do" Facebook, but Romanov News is posted there too.

Here you can see some photos:

It's nice that ninety-five years later , Anna's home city still remembers her and honors her.
,
And I must say, her photos posted here are very touching to me. She was so much more than a name casually listed as being murdered along with the Romanovs at Ipatiev House. and not even that, in many references.

I don't think Nyuta gets enough respect. In Kurth's TSAR she's described as a hysterical, silly woman - similar to how history remembers Anna Vyrubova. I think of all those who went down into the basement she died the worst, if such a thing can be ranked. She was certainly one of the last to die - "God has saved me!"
