Common card · No. 273779

Princess Anastasia Petrović-Njegoš of Montenegro (4 January 1868 [O.S. 23 December 1867] – 25 November 1935) was a daughter of Nicholas I of Montenegro and his wife, Queen Milena. Through her second marriage to Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich of Russia, she became a Russian grand duchess. She and her sister, Milica ("Militza"), having married Russian royal brothers, were known colloquially as the "Montenegrin princesses" or the "Black peril" during the last days of the Russian Empire, and may have contributed to its downfall by the introduction of Grigori Rasputin to Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.
