#OnThisDay in #history - in 1918, Anna Demidova was killed by the Bolsheviks with the Romanov family. Anna was the daughter of a merchant & had gone to a school intended to educate her to be a maid-in-waiting for the royals. She earned a teaching certificate from there as well.
Anna went into exile with the Romanovs, & was executed alongside them, surviving the first round of bullets thanks gems sewn into a pillow. When found alive, she was stabbed to death. #OTD#histodons#Russia@histodons
