More than 100 paintings by Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, the sister of Tsar Nicholas II, went on display at the New Tretyakov Gallery this week in an exhibition titled "Most August Painter." The Grand Duchess enjoyed drawing from an early age, and later took up icon painting. Following the 1917 Revolution, she and her family moved to a farm near Copenhagen, and after World War II to Toronto, where she died in 1960. The exhibition, which also includes photographs and archive materials, runs to July 29 at the gallery, located at 10 Krymsky Val. Metro Oktyabrskaya or Park Kultury.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
