- Hendrikova, who was nicknamed "Nastenka," was the daughter of Count Vassili Alexandrovich Hendrikov, Grand Master of Ceremonies of the Imperial Court, and his wife, Princess Sophia Petrovna Gagarine. She was a descendant of the sister of Catherine I of Russia, the wife of Peter the Great.
- Hendrikova was devoted to the Romanov family and followed them into exile after the Russian Revolution of 1917, going with them first to Tobolsk and later to Ekaterinburg, even though she was worried about her own family.
- Hendrikova was forcibly separated by the Bolsheviks from the Romanov family at Ekaterinburg and imprisoned in Perm for some months.
- The bodies of Hendrikova and Schneider were recovered by the Whites in May 1919,[7] and were reburied in the Yegoshikha Cemetery. However, their graves were destroyed when the Bolsheviks regained control of the city.
- Hendrikova was appointed a lady of waiting in 1910. She acted as a "sort of unofficial governess" to the four grand duchesses.[2].
- If [God] sends me more trials and difficulties, then he will give me more strength accordingly. You just need to ask Him for the Holy Spirit and strength for the day ahead.
- A thought shared with me by the [Empress] today touched my soul deeply: "that I may use the experience of suffering that the Lord has sent me for the joy and comfort of others." Perhaps this is the purpose assigned to me by God?
- I surrender myself entirely into the hands of God with trust and love and I know that [the Lord] will support me during trials and in the moment of death.
- Thank God, I managed to arrive in time to be with them.
