Princess Marina Petrovna of Russia (11 March 1892 – 15 May 1981) was a daughter of Grand Duke Peter Nikolaevich of Russia and his wife, Grand Duchess Militza Nicholaevna, born Princess of Montenegro. BiographyA great-granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, she was born in Nice and grew up in the last period of Imperial Russia, mostly in Znamenka, her father's summer palace near Peterhof. She was a maternal granddaughter of Nicholas I, King of Montenegro. Princess Marina was a gifted artist, showing talent for drawing and painting. She studied painting first with a teacher from the senior school in Yalta and then in Saint Petersburg under professor Kordovsky.[1] Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna suggested Princess Marina as a likely bride to the Duke of Montpensier, son of the Count of Paris.[2] During World War I, Marina served as a nurse with Caucasian troops near Trabzon.[3] She escaped the Russian Revolution with the rest of her family aboard the British ship HMS Marlborough in 1919.[4] She married Prince Alexander Nikolayevich Golitsyn in 1927.
