* Sarah Miller's novel ''The Lost Crown'' tells the story of Anastasia and her three sisters from the beginning of World War I in 1914 to their execution in Ekaterinburg in July 1918.
* Bryn Turnbull's historical fiction novel ''The Last Grand Duchess'' is centred on Anastasia's eldest sister Olga, but Anastasia herself is a major supporting player.

But how is it that Anastasia in particular is so much more famous than her other sisters, or even the rest of her family? Even people who don't know anything about history, or have any idea who Tsar Nicholas II was, are likely to be vaguely aware of Anastasia, and know that she was a Russian princess. Well, for most of the 20th century and even into the 21st century there were persistent rumors that Anastasia survived. The legend of her escape entered into the Western cultural zeitgeist of StockUnsolvedMysteries, in the same vein as Amelia Earhart and Roswell. [[DidAnastasiaSurvive See here for more details]]. (The mystery was finally conclusively solved: [[DownerEnding she did not survive that day.]] The remains of the family were located in the late 20th century, and their identities verified through DNA testing in the early 21st.)

* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedChronicles: Russia'' features the events at Red October, where Anastasia was saved by Nikolai Orelov (but he was unable to save her sisters, much to her grief) and temporarily gained acrobatic skills by being possessed by a Chinese Assassin to survive her would-be killer. In the end, she herself decides to discard her name and takes on the identity of Anna Anderson.
* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': Anastasia is a Caster class Servant; her history received a little tweak that the Romanovs were a family of Magus and contained the monstrous spirit known as Literature/{{Viy}}, who eventually took revenge on her murderers by haunting them for life, dooming them to a life of terror, after Anastasia was finally able to summon it before her death. As a Servant (the real deal here, since there is a very little chance of Anna Anderson entering the Throne of Heroes), Anastasia is capable of utilizing her magus heritage to cast various magic, but she is most fond of [[AnIcePerson ice conjuration]]. She's also one of the chief antagonistic Servants in the first Lostbelt under the Crypter Kadoc Zemlupus, where her core has been twisted such that she became much more nihilistic than [[DefrostingIceQueen her normally cold but defrostable self]], though this version still has some of her kinder nature [[spoiler:including being [[BroodingBoyGentleGirl in mutual love with Kadoc]]]]. One of her skills is also a reference to her nickname "Schwipsig", and once you get past her cold self, you can see that Anastasia is ''still'' fond of playing pranks. Much of her cheerful self can be seen in her Summer Archer version (though she's also adding even more pranks in there).
* ''Manga/{{Drifters}}'': Anastasia is one of the main antagonists, part of the Ends serving the Black King [[spoiler:, implied to be Jesus Christ, which also alludes to Anastasia's religion of choice and how the Russian Orthodox Church canonized her as a Saint]]. Like a lot of appearances that gave Anastasia the AdaptationalBadass upgrade, she's capable of [[AnIcePerson controlling blizzards.]]

* ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsCovenant'' has Anastasia as a playable character. She has familial issues, but she's ready to defend Russia from the evil hands of Rasputin, who is actually possessed by the demon Asmodeus. After Rasputin is defeated, she joins Yuri Hyuga's party for good to keep Russia (and the rest of the world) safe; and it's implied she is in love with a Japanese swordsman named Kurando Inugami. In battle, she uses mechanical Fabergé eggs as weapons; and by taking pictures of enemies, she can [[EnemyScan view their data]] as well as [[MegaManning use their abilities]].

* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' features her in the fifth book of the Reign of Winter adventure path, ''Rasputin Must Die''. [[spoiler: Unlike history, she survives and follows the player characters back to Golarion, and ends up ruling the winter-locked region of Irrisen, where most of the rest of the adventure path takes place. The 2nd edition book ''Lost Omens: World Guide'' confirms this outcome as canon.]]

Some people became famous for doing great accomplishments in the past. Some became famous by doing nothing of note, merely being in the wrong place and born in the wrong time and coming to a tragic end. This is the case of the young Grand Duchess of UsefulNotes/{{Russia}} slain in the aftermath of UsefulNotes/RedOctober, the youngest daughter of UsefulNotes/{{Tsar|ist Russia}} [[UsefulNotes/NicholasII Nicholas II Alexandrovich Romanov]], Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova (June 18 [June 5 in the Old Style calendar] 1901 – July 17, 1918).

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', the 1997 animated movie by Creator/DonBluth, in which she's voiced by Creator/MegRyan. It [[ArtisticLicenseHistory heavily fictionalized]] the stories about Anastasia - or rather, the mystery about the most prominent imposter of Anastasia, Anna Anderson, linking the two stories together with fictional elements only slightly based on history. It also adds a [[TalkingAnimal talking bat]] and depicts UsefulNotes/GrigoriRasputin as an EvilSorcerer out to [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade destroy the Romanovs instead of being good friends with them]] (and UsefulNotes/RedOctober is never named nor is its ideology specifically brought up). It spawned a few {{Mockbuster}}s on the same base story too.

* She makes a cameo in ''Series/TheLostPrince'' alongside her parents and siblings, which features the Romanovs' historical 1909 visit to the Isle of Wight. In a deviation from history, she and her sisters are portrayed as older teenagers; in reality Anastasia was only seven at the time, and even her eldest sister, Olga, was only thirteen.

* ''Series/HistoryOfTheWorldPartII'', on its segments in the Russian Revolution, features Creator/DoveCameron as an Anastasia who is basically a digital influencer a century too early ("Hey guys, it's your friend Anastasia! [=#LastRomanov=] As you know, my whole family was murdered in the Revolution...").
