October 15, 1928
Nearly all of the surviving members of the former Russian Imperial family have signed a statement in Paris that denounces Anna Tschaichowsky, who claims to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia.
Those who signed the statement include Grand Duchesses Xenia and Olga, the sisters of the late Nicholas II (and Anastasia's aunts), Princes Andrew and Feodor of Russia, Victoria, Marchioness of Milford Haven, and other members of the late Empress Alexandra's family.
Grand Duchess Olga told a reporter that she believes that the claimant "is convinced that she is really the Grand Duchess." Olga said: "Of all my questions relating to former days, friends or other intimacies, she could not answer one."
Mrs. Tchaikowsky is currently living in the United States with Mrs. William Leeds, the former Princess Xenia of Russia.
