14. Tatiana and Olga as Nurses
Tatiana wasn’t the only Romanov daughter who took up with the Red Cross during the war. Once soldiers started coming back in need of help, Olga also joined the cause. In this image, we see Tatiana and Olga attending to a soldier with bandages. For the daughters, it was a matter of doing their part. They mightn’t have wanted the war any more than the average Russian, but they wanted to help the soldiers. They served up until the revolution when the new government forced the family to leave the royal palace. It stressed Tatiana and Olga that they could not continue to do their jobs.
