Life Following The Revolution
Alarmed by the worsening political situation, Alexandra and Alexander Pistohlkors fled the country for Helsinki, Finland in 1916. The von Pistohlkors family had Baltic estates, among them a castle in Latvia, where they lived following the Russian Revolution. Alexandra's sister Anna Vyrubova also later emigrated to Finland, where she became a nun after the Revolution.
Their daughter Olga Ramel (1912-2011) later settled in Sweden.
