Virtual Talk: “The Romanov Sisters” with Helen Rappaport

Olga.  Tatiana. Maria. Anastasia.  The Russian Grand Duchesses were among the most photographed and talked about young royals of the early twentieth century. Yet, over the years, most people only remember their tragic end in a basement at Ekaterinburg in 1918. Through a treasure trove of previously unpublished letters and diaries, archival sources, as well as private collections, this New York Times bestselling author gives us an intimate look at the Romanov sisters–from their privileged lifestyle to their joys and insecurities. This new and challenging take on their story reveals they were intelligent, sensitive and perceptive witnesses to the dark turmoil within their immediate family and the ominous approach of the Russian Revolution, the nightmare that would sweep their world away, and them along with it. Helen Rappaport is also the author of The Last Days of the Romanovs and Caught in the Revolution, The Romanov Sisters.
