Biography[edit]
A great-granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, she was born in Nice and grew up in the last period of Imperial Russia, mostly in Znamenka, her father's summer palace near Peterhof.
Princess Marina was a gifted artist, showing talent for drawing and painting. She studied painting first with a teacher from the senior school in Yalta and then in Saint Petersburg under professor Kordovsky.[1]
Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna suggested Princess Marina as a likely bride to the Duke of Montpensier, son of the Count of Paris.[2]
During World War I, Marina served as a nurse with Caucasian troops near Trabzon.[3]
She escaped the Russian Revolution with the rest of her family aboard the British ship HMS Marlborough in 1919.[4] She married Prince Alexander Nikolayevich Golitsyn in 1927. She died on 15 May 1981 in Six-Fours-les-Plages, France, at aged 89.
