From 1916 diary entries of Grand Duchess Maria Romanov:
“In the afternoon we went up the Dnepr. Ran around in the bushes…”

“Went in motors across the Dnepr 4 with Papa and Mama and the Suite, and walked.”
“Went upstream on Dnepr in a motor, swam 4 with Isa”
“Rode in a motor ferry upstream on Dnepr. Got off to walk. ”
“Rode in a motor boat downstream on Dnepr. Had tea in a tent.”
“Everyone rode in a motor boat up the Dnepr, ran around in the bushes.”
“Rode in the motor boat up the Dnepr. Walked, lounged in the sun and [ran] around the bushes.”
