great russia need more woman in to the politician

[TommyJeanBoy]

she was absolutely stunning and great taste of elegance

Read: Princess in Exile. GD Maria Pavlovna was the first Romanov feminist, and was true to Imperial Russia unto her last breath. This is a woman to be admired for her courage. She maintained a family secret with grace and determination.

she kinda looks like drew barrymore...

1:13 Five generations of family... quite an achievement even in those times although Maria Pavlovna's poor mother didn't live to be there physically.

Very good !!!

I'm halfway through her Memoires right now, "Education of a Princess".

She was certainly herself ! An unapologetic Grand Duchess !

It was, even when she was growing up and living in it, a bygone menagerie........ they were gilded creatures. Gorgeous, pampered, perfumed creatures. I love reading about them, seeing vestiges of them and glorying in their evanescence...........

Their existence today defies logic and prudence. They are Pharaohs and Celestial Chinese Emperors.

she has suffered a lot, it is quite sad when I read she has a distant relation even with her son, she is raised up by ella, this makes me just can't help but believe she is a really good woman.

She once residented in US but move to other place as US recgnize soviet union, when I read this, I could help but nearly cry. She is a true romanov, not as famous as dagmar or xenia, or ever her brother dimitri, but she is living to her own standard, a very nobel standard.

A fitting tribute to the Grand Duchess Marie, I read her memoirs Education of a Princess when I was in my teenage years it left a lasting impression. Grand Duchess Elizabeth raised her in part; the book gives a moving account of Ellas life and tragic death I highly recommend it. This lady is a genuine example of what the human spirit can accomplish even under the most strenuous and painful circumstances.

@AXA0032 Thank you for mentioning her book Education of a Princess. Likewise I read it years ago. It is a very important document for those seeking to understand the very personal life moments of the era.

I fondly remember the relating of her final moments with Russian soldiers who protected her through the end of her journey away from Russia; holding a candle to each of their faces, Then gone forever.
