it is an interesting question and one where i would imagine you would be more likely to get answers dealing with the descendants of George Curzon as i imagine after the bolshivik revolution the diaries of Alexandra would have been burnt.if you read Boswells london journals i am sure you will find the preface very interesting because it tells of a similar story in recuperating the diary.keep in touch and good luck.

Julius Rosenberg (May 12, 1918 – June 19, 1953) and Ethel Greenglass Rosenberg (September 28, 1915 – June 19, 1953) were American citizens and Communist Party members who were thrust into the world spotlight when they were tried, convicted, and executed for spying for the Soviet Union. Specifically, the couple was charged with conspiracy to commit espionage and were accused of passing nuclear weapons secrets to Russian agents.\n\nThe accuracy of these charges remains controversial. Decades later, however, Soviet communications decrypted by the VENONA project became publicly available which indicated that Julius Rosenberg was actively involved in espionage. They provided no specific evidence that he performed the specific acts of espionage for which he was convicted, or that Ethel Rosenberg was involved.

Rasputin.  Empress Alexandra was his patron, she felt that he was the only one who could save her son Alexis and the empire.   Tzar Nicholas was a weak monarch and went along with what she said which led to disaster for them and Russia.

There don't seem to be any actual "quotes" from the Empress, only remembered comments and her writings.  \n\n"I cannot yet realize that I am married.  It seems like being on a visit."\n\n"I feel myself completely alone.  I weep and I worry all day long because I feel that my husband is so young and inexperienced... I am alone most of the time.  My husband is occupied all day and he spends his evenings with his mother." \n\n"How contented and happy I am with my beloved Nicky."\n\nShe wrote his Nicholas's diary: "Half a year now that we are married.  How intensely happy you have made ...[me] you cannot think."\n\nLater, when she began to rely on Rasputin for the healing of her son, portions of her letters to the holy man became the basic incriminating documents for the charge that she was his lover.  This was most damning:\n\n"My beloved, unforgettable teacher, redeemer and mentor!  How tiresome it is without you!  My soul is quiet and I relax only when you, my teacher, are sitting beside me.  I kiss your hands and lean my head on your blessed shoulder.  Oh how light, how light do I feel then.  I only wish one thing: to fall asleep, to fall asleep, forever on your shoulders and in your arms.  What happiness to feel your presence near me.  Where are you?  Where have you gone?  Oh, I am so sad and my heart is longing...  Will you soon be again close to me?  Come quickly, I am waiting for you and I am tormenting myself for you.  I am asking for your holy blessing and I am kissing your blessed hands.  I love you forever.       Yours, M. [Mama]"\n\nAt Ekaterinburg, the Empress dictated a letter to her daughters telling them to "dispose of the medicines as had been agreed."  This was a code worked out by the royal family beforehand meaning that they should dispose of their jewels.\n\nI suggest you read "Nicholas and Alexandra" by Robert K Massie; it is extremely readable, and there are plenty of others you could try - perhaps memoirs from the people who were close to them, especially in the last year, and who survived.

Anna Anderson failed the paternity test of the Romanov's.  Sorry.  The little girl they found buried in the road in Russia passed the test along with the little boy, showing they must have been both Anastasia and her younger brother.  Sad isn't it?  Was nice to believe that they could have lived.  However the Romanov line is not dead so chin up!\n\nThe family was found buried in a road, with their nurses.  Their bodies were all their and their corpses were identified independently by DNA tests.

She was a Princess.  Spec.  the daughter of  Tsar Nicholas.  try the history channel or discovery channel websites.  They ran a special about her recently.  They think they found the bones of her and her brother somewhere.  The short version of the legend:\nThe royal family was taken out and shot down, stabbed if they were still living and then burned.  They never found the bodyies of Anastasia and her brother, and all sorts of rumors of her escape flew around.  A few people have claimed to be her before.  None have been definitivly proven to be.  Time magazine did an article on it in the 50's (not entirely sure when)  and there was an animated movie about one theory as to what happened.  Most experts believe that since the two missing bodies were also the smallest, they could easily have been thrown in with others, crushed, destroyed, carried off by animals etc....
