Grand Duchesses Tatiana, Anastasia, Olga, and Maria Nikolaevna Romanova of Russia picking mushrooms off the coast of Finland, circa 1912-1914. The daughters of Nicholas II, they would be executed by Bolshevik revolutionaries in 1918.
The House of Romanov was the reigning imperial house of Russia from 1613 to 1917. They achieved prominence after the Tsarina, Anastasia Romanova, was married to the First Tsar of Russia, Ivan the Terrible.
The English word terrible is usually used to translate the Russian word grozny in Ivan’s nickname, but that is a somewhat-archaic translation. The Russian word grozny reflects the older English usage of terrible as in “inspiring fear or terror; dangerous; powerful; formidable”. It does not convey the more modern connotations of English terrible such as “defective” or “evil”.

I don’t know if this is interesting to you but I have B negative blood type and I’m related to the Romanov’s on my mother’s side of the family.
