Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia (Tatiana Nikolaevna Romanova) (In Russian Великая Княжна Татьяна Николаевна), (May 29 (O.S.)/June 10 (N.S.), 1897 - July 17, 1918), (after 1900, Tatiana's birthday was celebrated on the 11th of June) was the second daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, the last monarch of Russia, and of Tsarina Alexandra. She was born at the Peterhof, Saint Petersburg.
She was better known than her three sisters during her lifetime and headed Red Cross committees during World War I. She nursed wounded soldiers in a military hospital from 1914 to 1917, until the family was arrested following the Russian Revolution of 1917.
Her murder by revolutionaries on July 17, 1918 resulted in her being named as a passion bearer by the Russian Orthodox Church
