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. Her father is a Beloved Ruler of a Vast Country, and she is his Only Daughter and Favorite Child.

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is a Modern Art Museum on the Grand Canal in Venice (Italy) and is one of the most visited Attractions in Venice.
Peggy Guggenheim has always been one of those Women it´s hard to categorise. She is known for her Wealth, and to those who have read Biographies of her Life, for her Promiscuous Lifestyle, the many Husbands and Affairs.
