Born in November 1895 to Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra, Olga Nikolaevna was intelligent, introspective, and compassionate - the kind of grand duchess Europe's courts eyed for alliance marriages. Speculation swirled around matches with Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, Crown Prince Carol of Romania, Edward Prince of Wales, and Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia, but Olga wanted to marry a Russian and stay home. During World War I she nursed wounded soldiers in a military hospital until her nerves broke, then shifted to administrative work. The Russian Revolution of 1917 swept all that aside. She was murdered on 17 July 1918. In the 1990s DNA testing identified her remains, which were buried at Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg with her parents and two sisters; the Russian Orthodox Church canonized her as a passion bearer.
