Tuhia he tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - I haere a Edith ki te kura kotiro i Petrischule i St. Petersburg. He taonga a Petrischule i roto i nga tikanga, a, i hangaia he taiao whakamere me te tino mohio mo Edith. I tū te kura i te ritenga atu o Te Winter Palace, nā reira i taea ai e Edith te wheako i nga raruraru i Tsarist Russia i te tawhiti tata. I tino kitea ia i roto i te taone i te Rātapu Toto
i te marama o Hanuere 1905 i te wā i whakatuwherahia ai e ngā kaitiaki o te Tsarist te ahi ki runga i ngā mano o ngā tangata mate hiakai i huihui mai ki te whakahē i te kore kai.
