Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia was the oldest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. She was born on November 15, 1895. Her sisters were Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia and her brother was Alexei.
Her friends said Olga was very smart. She liked to read. She was a Red Cross nurse during World War I. She had to stop nursing in 1915 because it made her feel sad. She fell in love with a soldier that she nursed. Her parents would not have let her marry him because she was a tsar's daughter.
Olga and her family were killed by Bolsheviks on July 17, 1918 during the Russian Revolution. Their grave was found in 1991 in Siberia. They were buried at St. Petersburg, Russia on July 17, 1998. Olga and her family were made saints by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000.
