Grand Duchess Elisaveta Feodorovna Romanova (1864 - 1918), like her sister - Empress Alexandra Feodorovna - wife of Nicholas II, was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria of Britain. Honorary member and chairman of the Imperial Orthodox Palestinian Society, founder of the Marfo-Mariinsky Convent in Moscow, Honorary Member of the Imperial Kazan Theological Academy, she became famous for her ascetic activity. The revolutionaries, who seized power in Russia in 1917 thanks to generous foreign aid, decided to put an end to all the Romanovs as the banner of the Russian Empire, but they could not do this in an open trial, since they themselves abolished the death penalty, and even no accusations could be made against Elisaveta Fedorovna present! In such a situation, members of the royal family and close associates, allegedly arrested and brought to the Urals, to Alapaevsk, were allegedly kidnapped by the White Guards, but in reality they were taken out of the city, thrown into a mine and thrown grenades at it.→
