The Holy Royal Passion-Bearer Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna (b. 14/27 June 1899; d. 4/17 July 1918) was the third daughter of the Holy Royal Passion-Bearer Emperor Nicholas II and the Holy Royal Passion-Bearer Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.

 

She was executed along with her entire family in Ekaterinburg on 4/17 July 1918 on orders from the Ural Regional Soviet.

 

She was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad in 1981, and glorified as a Passion-Bearer by the Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000.

 

Acting on a petition from the Head of the Russian Imperial House, H.I.H. The Grand Duchess Maria of Russia, the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation issued a ruling (dated 1 October 2008) recognizing Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna as a victim of political repression and formally rehabilitating her.
