Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna (1882-1960) was the youngest daughter of Emperor Alexander III and Empress Maria Feodorovna and the sister of the future Emperor Nicholas II. She was raised in the safety and relative isolation of Gatchina Palace, becoming an accomplished artist later in life.

In 1901, at the age of nineteen, she married Duke Peter Alexandrovich of Oldenburg. The marriage famously did not last and was annulled in 1916. Shortly thereafter, Olga married her true love, Nikolai Kulikovsky, an officer in the Blue Cuirassier Regiment of the Imperial Russian Cavalry.

Following the Revolution of 1917, Grand Duchess Olga fled with her mother, husband, and children to the Crimea. Eventually escaping the country, Olga settled in Denmark and remained there until 1948. She then moved her family to Ontario, Canada, where she lived until her death in 1960 at the age of seventy-eight.
