Анастасия Воробьёва

Interestingly, her name was also Anastasia, like the princess. I remember reading that she voluntarily went into exile with the royal family and remained close to the end. Loyalty is so rare, especially in those years.

True, they both had the name Anastasia. I read that he himself could refuse and go abroad, but he still went to Tobolsk and Yekaterinburg. Such loyalty is indeed rare.

Тетяна Кравченко

Yes, it is interesting that both Anastasias. I read that Countess Hendrykova could easily go abroad, but she herself went to Tobolsk and then to Yekaterinburg for her family. This is true loyalty, without words.

Антон Кузнецов

Yes, both Anastasias, and both faithful to the end. I read that Gendrikova could have easily gone abroad, but she chose Tobolsk and Yekaterinburg. This is real devotion, without loud words.

Татьяна Комарова

Yes, both Anastasias, and both to the end. I remember reading that Gendrikova was not even officially a maid of honor, but simply stayed with them of her own free will, although she could have left. This is loyalty, without theatrics.

Тимофей Виноградов

Yes, both Anastasias, and both to the end. It is interesting that the Countess was not even an official maid of honor, but simply of her own free will went first to Tobolsk, then here, to Yekaterinburg. This is real fidelity, without loud words.

Antoine Girard

Yes, the two Anastasias, it’s striking. I read that she was not even an official lady-in-waiting and that she could have quietly gone abroad, but she chose to follow the family to Yekaterinburg. A very simple loyalty, without phrases.

Ольга Зайцева

Yes, exactly, both Anastasias did not abandon theirs. Gendrikova really had the choice to leave, but she went to Tobolsk with her things and stayed until the very end. I wonder if her letters from those months have survived, I would like to read them.

Галина Новикова

Yes, Anton, that's exactly right. She could have gone to see her family in Europe, but instead she packed her things and went to Tobolsk to pick up the royal family. It’s interesting how she explained this decision to herself in those days.

Светлана Волкова

Yes, and both Anastasias were indeed very close in spirit. Countess Gendrikova refused the offer to go abroad and chose the path to Tobolsk and Yekaterinburg herself, although she could have remained safe. What book did you read about this in, I wonder?
