Why didn't Olga Romanov Marry?

Grand Duchess Olga Nicholaevna, b.1895 was the eldest daughter of Nicholas II and the Empress Alexandra. Born "in the purple" Olga was the first of four daughters for the Tsar and Empress. None of whom could ascend the Russian throne by law of primogeniture. Nevertheless Olga was a true Russian beauty. She possessed a frank candor and warmth quite like her father, the Tsar. The outbreak of World War I in 1914 quelled the eldest two Grand Duchesses' debut. Olga, however had an unofficial [presentation] in the Crimean palace of Livadia in 1912. In the spring of 1914, before hostilities of World War I, Olga and the Imperial family sailed on the Imperial yacht, Standardt to Costanza, Romania, on what was described as unofficial "affairs of state". The visit was actually intended as an introduction between Olga and Romanian Crown Prince Carol. The visit was cooly received on both ends, thus ending further talks of any "dynastic alliance". Olga herself wished to remain in Russia upon marriage and said so frankly. Grand Duke, Dimitri, was another potential candidate for Olga. A favorite at court, Dimitri was reared by his cousin, Tsar Nicholas as well as his uncle, Grand Duke, Serge. This match would likely have been made had not Dimitri been one of the three principals involved in Rasputin's demise, thus incurring the irresolute wrath of the Empress. Olga was rumored to have nurtured a secret love for an officer of the Imperial yacht and history seems to support this rumor. Sadly anything beyond infatuation was out of the question. Olga perished with the rest of her family in captivity, Ekaterinburg, 17 July 1918.

Who is Michael Romanov?

There are several people with this name. in the Russian Royal family he was the brother of Czar Nicholas and hence a Grand Duke, He was very briefly (acting Czar) when Nicholas first abdicated- but in practice never reigned, He was a general in the Imperial Army- yes called the Red Army ( in honor of Mars- God of War, the Red planet) the term Red Army was used Before the communist uprising. Michael never reigned, really but did function in a (Battlefield commission) role hence he wore a Garrison Hat rather than a crown! He did not survive the revolution, I believe he may vhave been ousted by mutinous troopers, a very real occupational hazard went he Armies of Russia were being split up into Red -here Communist, and White ( Czarist) factions. Few units stood tall one pocket or the other. The famed Cossacks were split both ways, for example. There were different Cossack units and tribes- and different uniforms, hats, insignia, etc. the Don Cossacks are best-known to the general public, but there were also Terek, Siberian, and other tribal groups, all essentially Cossacks such as the Zaporogets, there is a Toy store in my town called Roguts, maybe originally it was Zaporogets- nothing to do with ray-guns.
