Russian Nobility. The second child of Russia's last czar, Nicholas II. During World War I, she served as a Red Cross nurse with her mother and older sister, Olga. She and the rest of her immediate family were shot by the Bolsheviks in July 1918. She was twenty-one years old when she died. She is entombed in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul with her parents and two of her sisters. Much controversy between American and Russian scientists still surrounds which of her sisters are actually entombed there. The Royal Family has since been sainted by The Russian Synod Abroad as well as The Moscow Patriarchate.
