I just finished a book about Natalia Brasova, a Russian noblewoman who married, as her third husband, Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich of Russia, who was the brother of Tzar Nicholas II. I love Russian history!!!! I have so many books on that topic!


Here are a couple of photos of both of them early last century.
