Was the Moment she was taken to kiss her Dead Mother in her Open Coffin. She was only Six at the time, and she screamed and drew back. Her 31-Year-Old Mother, Nadya, had shot herself in the Heart but Svetlana was told she had died of Peritonitis. It was only 10 Years later she found out the Truth ; this Knowledge was part of the Harsh Awakening which made her see her Mother as yet Another Victim of the Repressive Policies of her Father. It started like a Fairy Tale, with her being a Young Princess walking the Corridors of an Ancient Palace, surrounded by Adoring Relatives, Governesses and Tutors.
