What people think when they hear Anastasia
>I remember once when the family was in their Polish estate in winter the children were amusing themselves at snowballing. The imp which sometimes seemed to possess Anastasie led her to throw a stone rolled in a snowball straight at her dearly loved sister Tatiana. The missile struck the poor girl fairly in the face with such force that she fell senseless to the ground.

>*Nickname: shvibzik*, pronounced SH-VIH-B-ZICK. This is a Russian word meaning “imp,” like a mischievous sprite or demon.
