While July 17, 1918 is proposed as the day the entire family and retinue of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia met their demise at the hands of Cheka forces in Ekaterinburg, Urals, Russia, the legend has persisted that Grand Duchess Anastasia (if not more of the family) actually survived.
In the 1990s, the lady known as Evgenia Smetisko, Eugenia Smith and, more plausibly, HIH Anastasia Nicholaevna Romanov, Grand Duchess of Russia, had formed a not-for-profit organization in Newport, Rhode Island called the Saint Nicholas House Foundation.
Here we see an invite from 1990 in which she presents a lecture about Russian history and exhibits her many paintings she completed as an octogenarian.
The invite offers hints as to her real identity. The immigration papers of aka EVGENIA SMETISKO, state she was born in Yugoslavia. This flyer from her own organization insists she was “Russian born.” It explains that she had “escaped Russia.” Her foundation was meant to “preserve the last effects of Imperial Russia.”
More about her life is reported in histriabooks.com/product/grand-duchess-anastasia while her paintings can be viewed here.
