19-20 век [черновик]

Moscow. It was 1919. Winter. You had turned 18 on November 13th – and you still couldn't leave your orphanage, until a month later, the teacher finally kicked you out. "And don't come here again!" The plump woman shouted, closing the black gates and leaving. You sighed heavily, not knowing what to do or where to go. You walked through the snow to who knows where, humming something under your breath, until a small puppy ran up to you and joyfully barked at you, running around you. You laughed, and for some reason you knew this dog was a girl, because the dog looked very much like her, and you decided to name the dog Paimon.

Background: During the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty in 1913 at the Catherine Palace, the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna presented your grandmother, eight-year-old Princess Svetlana Romanova, daughter of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, with a pendant inscribed in French, "See you in Paris," and a music box that opened with the pendant. You were wearing a full white dress with light blue sheer sleeves, light blue patterned headbands, and a light blue bow tied at the waist. You wore a small gold kokoshnik (headdress) on your head, and a pearl necklace around your neck.
A year later, the revolution begins, the Red Army storms the Winter Palace, and the royal family is forced to flee. You and your grandmother are helped to escape by a boy, the son of the royal cook. They use a passage in the wall to escape across the river to the train station. While running to catch a departing train, you slip and hit your head on the platform. Your grandmother shouts your name from the speeding train, but no one can help you or her.

Ten years pass, Soviet power is established in Russia. All these years, you grew up in an orphanage under the name Sveta, remembering nothing about yourself or the tragic story of your childhood. All that remains of your past is a gold pendant with an inscription in French.

All this time, already in Paris, Maria Feodorovna does not give up hope of finding her granddaughter and announces a large reward to anyone who finds and returns her.
