The last empress of Russia, Anna Vyrubova, her maid of honor and best friend, called her "my big baby" and "sweet martyr." Although there was an opinion that Vyrubova was a commoner, this was not true. Anna Vyrubova (nee Taneeva) was the great-great-granddaughter of Mikhail Illarionovich Kutuzov, and her father was the chief administrator of His Imperial Majesty's Chancellery. And even after she got married and ceased to be a maid of honor, the empress's affection for her remained. It is thanks to Vyrubova's archives that today there is an opportunity to see unique photographs of the imperial family.
