The extraordinary story of Tsar Nicholas’ sister and her journey from the palaces of St. Petersburg to death in obscurity above a barbershop in Toronto. A life full of passion and love, set at the backdrop of an entire century. She was raised at the Gatchina Palace outside Saint Petersburg. Olga was her father’s favorite, but Tsar Alexander III died when she was only 12. After the Russian Revolution, Olga escaped to Denmark with her second husband and their two sons, in February 1920, where they lived as farmers. Finally, in 1948, she relocated with her immediate family to a farm in Campbellville, Ontario, Canada. At the end of her life and afterwards, Olga was widely labeled the last Grand Duchess of Imperial Russia.

She faced so many obstacles in her life with dignity and triumphed in the end. After a loveless marriage was annulled, she found happiness with the man she loved and they had a beautiful family. I wish I could have been as talented as she when it comes to painting with watercolors; her paintings were beautiful. She was respected by those around her. In the end, she came out as a winner! May she rest in peace.

As someone who lived in Burlington, ON for several years and often took the long way home from visits with my brother in London, ON just to see the breathtaking beauty of Campbellville, I can assure you that the years she lived and farmed there were spent in the best nature had to offer. She may not have been living in luxurious castles surrounded by jewels and gold anymore but she lived in one of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen. Clean air, quiet, peaceful, no crime, colourful birds, flowers, huge trees, and most of all, complete freedom. I always wanted to make Campbellville my permanent home but my career and marriage took me far away from it. Olga found, without a doubt, one of the finest places this world has to offer and after what she and her family went through, I’m sure she found solace all around her.

According to this video, Olga’s first marriage was an arranged marriage. Olga did not know the man she agreed to marry. He was a prince 👑 who lived in Russia. Olga’s mother made the match. Her husband was much older than her and a homosexual. Years later Olga fell in love with a commoner and asked her husband for a divorce. He said no, but her brother (the Emperor) gave his blessing and annulled the marriage. Olga now married her sweetheart, commoner, and had children.

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs That so-called series that Netflix did on The Last Tsar was pure garbage to put it mildly. They couldn't make up their minds if they were making a documentary or a mini-series. "Actors" who aren't good enough to get roles in real films were hired, yet they also used narration to imply it was a documentary. You need to make up your minds about what you're making. They even included a scene of Nicholas and Alexandra having sex as if that's what everyone wants to see. When they make a film about Grand Duchess Olga it should be a real big-screen film with real actors. We're already seen enough junk.

Olga was a strange name to give to someone with her background and she was called Evelyn her whole life. Princess Olga's worked during WW!as a nurse in field hospitals that she herself organized and funded. My Grandmother graduated from Nursing College in Montreal near the end of WW! and worked treating returning veterans. She contracted but survived the Spanish flu in 1918/19. Olga was clearly a heroine to my grandmother, a fellow nurse, as someone who did great work to save lives and ease suffering.Beatrice LeDrew Moore named her first born daughter in her honor. Ironically my family is from Toronto, where Olga lived out her last years.

Then I read about other topics including the Crimean War. However, I found myself drawn to more books on the Russian Revolution and the Romanovs. I've learned more about the Imperial Family from their rise in the 1600's to the end of the their reign and beyond. This story on Grand Duchess Olga was wonderful and I can't wait to find a good book to expand on learning more about her. I'll admit I get teary eyed at the intro to Canon in D. All of the people in the painting are gone, but not forgotten.

They were able to buy a big farm. What do you think the money came from? Out of nowhere? According to wikipedia she had stocks/bonds worth about 200.000 canadian Dollars - that would be more than a million canadian Dollars today. That is not really what I would call poverty. Her life was surley not easy, but it is simply not true, that nobody helped her.
