The last diary entry of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia.A few hours after penning those lines, the Empress was shot with the Tsar, their five children and their four retinue.
Her last entry:
Yekaterinburg 3/16 July
Irina’s 23d birthday. Grey morning, later lovely sunshine. Baby has a slight cold. All went out ½ hour in the morning. Olga and I arrange our medicines. Tatiana read spiritual readings. They went out. Tatiana stayed with me and we read: The Book of the prophet Amos and prophet Obadiah. Every morning the commandant comes to our rooms: at last after a week brought eggs again for Baby.
8: Supper. Suddenly Lenka Sednev was fetched to go and see his uncle and flew off -wonder whether it’s true and we shall see the boy back again! Played bezique with N. 10:30 to bed. 15 degrees.
