Anastasia
(redirected from Anastasiya Nikolayevna)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Anastasia (1901–1918)

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. After her death in 1984, DNA tests proved that she was not related to the royal family, and suggested her detractors were right.
