Biography
Anna was Nikolai Orelov's wife from at least 1888 onwards. Fully aware of his Assassin background, she would seek to calm him when he felt guilt over the death of Nikolai's friend and Brother, Aleksandr Ulyanov.[1]
In 1888, Anna was several months pregnant with her and Nikolai's first child.[1] However, the child died before birth; a grievous blow to the Orelov family, which caused Nikolai to become bitter and filled with hate.[2]
Between 1908 and 1917, Anna gave birth to Nikolai's first surviving child, a daughter they named Nadya. Anna and her daughter were with Nikolai when he exhumed the body of Grigori Rasputin.[3]
In 1917, Anna, Nikolai, and Nadya fled Russia and boarded a boat bound for the United States, where they started a new life together.[3]
