A LITTLE FARM IN TOBOLSK or " Poor Turkey": A Thanksgiving themed tale.
DID YOU KNOW that the captive Romanov family had a little farm in Tobolsk, complete with farm animals – including a turkey. Alexandra, who was an animal lover and vegetarian, was against eating the animals, but after she had gone to Ekaterinburg, the turkey was cooked and eaten for Easter... We know this from the letter exchange below.
Tatiana, 18 September, 1917:

Olga, 28th April, 1918:

Maria, 15 May, 1918 (from Ekaterinburg to Tobolsk:
“Mama, speaking about the turkey, said ‘you should not have…'”
