No one can forget the Tsar and Tsarina's youngest daughter, Anastasia, "Shvybz" (the imp) to her family- the playful girl who became the source of so much legend- her survival was a myth and all the  purported "Anastasia" returns- including Anna Anderson- were false. Some doubt even lingers today- not of her survival- but of the identity of  that last  Romanov sister skeleton unearthed in Pig's Meadow in 2007- although most experts conclude the bones belonged to Marie, her  "Little Pair" sister. That she died one month after her 17th birthday (June 18th 1918)  is a heartbreaking tragedy without consolation.
