Russian Grand Duchess, youngest daughter of
Nicholas II. During the Russian Revolution
she was presumed shot with her parents by the
Bolsheviks after the Revolution of 1917, but
it has been alleged that Anastasia escaped.
Those who claimed her identity included Anna
Anderson (1902-1984). Alleged by some
detractors to be a Pole, Franziska
Schanzkowski, she was rescued from a Berlin
canal 1920. The German Federal Supreme Court
found no proof of her claim 1970.
