Here it is the turn of Maria, the third daughter of Nicholas and Alexandra, and her lively personality shines from these pages. Historians have always described Maria as a loving and friendly girl, but in her diaries we see evidence of a sparkly sense of humour too. The story in which she got stuck in snow in a graveyard is told with true comedian’s style. And I love her descriptions of the “officer who stinks and is afraid of dressings” and the one who is “fat and not too smart”. There is more personality here than in Olga’s and Tatiana’s diaries and letters, in my opinion, and I absolutely loved reading it. No wonder Nicholas said Maria's letters made him laugh!Helen Azar does an admirable job of working out who or what is being referred to, which is no mean feat given the Russians' love of nicknames, and she adds footnoted explanations of games and ceremonies referred to. Her introduction is a summing-up of the Romanovs' fate, and a vivid description of the lovely personality of Maria herself.Ultimately, of course, the book is very poignant. Maria is trying to put on a brave face in Tobolsk when she writes “All in all things are pretty good”. There are scarcely any complaints or signs of fear. She sounds remarkable, and reading this book really underscores the tragedy of what ultimately happened to the family. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***E on Reviewed in Germany on 3 September 2022* I really enjoyed reading this book. Maria was a kind-hearted girl who loved her parents and siblings. She was particularly close to her father and her younger sister Anastasia. Though she was a grand duchess she was just like any other teenage girl and liked to have fun. She really liked children, too. It is very sad that such an innocent and good girl was deprived of her her freedom, her youth, her joy of living and eventually also her life and that in a very brutal and cruel manner. She should never have suffered such a terrible fate. She should have led a very long and satisfying life. I'm sure she would have been a great mother and also a great aunt to the children of her siblings. Unfortunately history can be very injust and human beings very evil. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bello ma mi aspettavo qualcosa di più *by G***A on Reviewed in Italy on 6 February 2022* Letto a pezzi, mi aspettavo un po' più materiale. Secondo me sarebbe bello se avessero fatto un libro con le foto delle OTMA e di Maria, magari anche con quelle dei suoi dipinti e dei suoi abiti. Poi è un peccato Maria Romanov avesse bruciato assieme ad Anastasia parte dei loro diari altrimenti magari avremmo più testimonianze e pagine di diario! Comunque io ho l'eBook quindi magari se c'è la versione cartacea è diversa ## Frequently Bought Together - Maria Romanov: Third Daughter of the Last Tsar, Diaries and Letters, 1908–1918 - Tatiana Romanov, Daughter of the Last Tsar: Diaries and Letters, 1913–1918 - Anastasia Romanov: The Tsar's Youngest Daughter Speaks Through Her Writings (1907 - 1918) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/113765956-maria-romanov-daughter-of-the-last-tsar-diaries-and-letters](https://www.desertcart.us/products/113765956-maria-romanov-daughter-of-the-last-tsar-diaries-and-letters) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
