Anastasia: The autobiography of H.I.H. the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicholaevna of Russia
Smith, Eugenia
Anastasiia Nikolaevna, Grand Duchess, daughter of Nicholas II, Emperor of Russia, 1901-1918
She accompanied her Family on several trips abroad and on numerous
trips within the country, including extensive travel in 1913--a year
widely celebrated in Russia as the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the
ascension to the throne of the first Romanov, Michael Feodorovich.
After the escape of the Grand Duchess Anastasia from Russia--the
point at which the present volume ends--she lived for short periods
in Rumania and Yugoslavia and for many years in the United States,
principally in Illinois and Wisconsin. She is now an American citizen
and is currently living in New York City.
A future volume, on which she is working, will deal with her life and
experiences in the post-escape years.
A lover of animals, the Grand Duchess is now completing a short book
entitled _My Friends: the Dogs_, all of the royalties from which will
be contributed to animal shelters and organizations devoted to the
health and well-being of dogs.
The Grand Duchess Anastasia is creating a foundation which will
establish and maintain a museum devoted to Russian culture and
containing a chapel in memory of her Family. A substantial portion
of her royalties from her autobiography will be turned over to the
foundation and to a very small number of charitable and philanthropic
organizations which she has, for the most part, already definitively
selected.

Transcriber’s Note
Minor printer’s errors were corrected by the transcriber. As far as
possible, however, the original spelling and punctuation have been
retained.
There is a signature on the image of “THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS II”, and
one on that of “THE TSESAREVICH ALEXEI--MOGILEV--1916”, following page
204. Both were illegible, and therefore could not be preserved.
