Anastasia Romanov & Anna Anderson: The "Lost Duchess" and Her Imposter

Rachel and Leah from Hashtag History podcast join me on the mic
for a super scandalous story full of conspiracy and corruption!
Melissa tells the story of Grand Duchess Anastasia, the youngest
daughter of the last Tsar and Tsarina of Russia who was rumored
to have survived her family's execution in 1918. Leah and Rachel
tell the fascinating story of Anna Anderson, an imposter that
came forward in 1922 claiming to be the long lost Grand Duchess
Anastasia.
