According to a lady-in-waiting of the Russian imperial house Alexandra Smirnova:
Princess Anna did not want to get married and wanted to live in a monastery. Her father let her go, and she went to the Belmazhskaya monastery, where she was not considered to [be] set up for the monastic life. The 35-year-old princess then married Tolstoy, a holy man. He submitted himself to her eccentric character and lived with her as brother. [4]
