Love and mercy – these two virtues run a red line through the entire life of the family of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II (1868-1918). The emperor, his wife and their children not only kept a special love and touching care for each other, but also turned them to works of mercy. Thus, the royal children were active participants in the collection of aid for tuberculosis patients under the name "White Flower", organized various charity events.
With the outbreak of World War I, the Empress and the elder Grand Duchesses graduated from special nursing courses and served in infirmaries and hospitals throughout the war. The Tsarskoye Selo Hospital was converted to receive the wounded. Alexandra Feodorovna, along with her eldest daughters Olga and Tatiana, assisted during the operations, performing all the duties of nurses. They tried to ease the pain and worries of the wounded to the best of their ability, not disdaining the hardest and dirtiest work. The young princesses tried not to show their high position in any way, they were always delicate and easy to communicate with the wounded.Princesses Maria and Anastasia could not become sisters of mercy yet, but they helped the wounded: they sewed linen for soldiers, prepared bandages, read aloud to them and played games. Anastasia, who was distinguished by her acting talent and sense of humor, arranged funny performances. And Maria loved to sit at the bedside of the patient and talk to him about his family and children.… She wrote letters to their families. Later, while in exile, the girls recalled their duties with nostalgia and trepidation.The young tsarevich Alexei, who loved to communicate with wounded heroes, also came to the hospital. Emperor Nicholas II himself tried to visit the wounded in hospitals as often as possible. He personally presented them with awards for bravery, and asked them about their exploits.
