Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia, known as \"Maria Pavlovna the Younger\" (In Russian Великая Княгиня Мария Павловна) (St. Petersburg, 18 April[O.S. 6 April]1890 – Konstanz, 13 December 1958) was the daughter of Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich and Alexandra Georgievna of Greece by marriage Princess of Sweden (1908–1914). She was usually called \"Marie,\" the French version of her name.

She married her second husband, Prince Sergei Mikhailovich Putiatin, in September 1917 in Pavlovsk. They had one son:

Prince Roman Sergeievich Putiatin (June 1918 – 1919).

Maria\'s father, Grand Duke Paul, attended Prince Roman\'s baptism on 18 July 1918, the same day, though they did not know it, that Maria\'s half-brother, Prince Vladimir Paley, and her aunt, Princess Elizabeth, were murdered by the Bolsheviks.[21] Maria\'s father was arrested by the Bolsheviks at the end of July 1918 and was later murdered on 30 January 1919.[22] Maria and her second husband left baby Roman in the care of his paternal grandparents when they fled the country, going first to Romania and the court of her first cousin, Queen Marie of Romania, and later to Paris and then to London. In 1919 she received a letter from her husband\'s parents telling her that baby Roman had died of an intestinal disorder.

She also wrote her memoirs of growing up in Russia.[24] Her marriage to Putiatin broke up in 1923 \"over a fundamental difference in attitude,\" though she continued to offer Putiatin and his relatives financial assistance.[25] During her years in exile, she lived mainly in Europe including Germany, Sweden and in Biarritz and in Spain on the invitation of the Spanish queen. She lived twelve years in the United States before moving to Argentina because the United States was a country that recognized the Soviet Union. She lived in Buenos Aires and after World War II in

Maria told her adult son, Lennart, during a rare conversation with him, that she had felt lonely all of her life because of her rootless childhood. She spent much of her adulthood looking for love, having affairs, and finding it hard to fill the empty places inside of her.[26] She grieved over the death of her brother Dmitri, the only person she had really loved, in 1942.[27] She died at the age of sixty-eight in 1958 in the border town of Konstanz in West Germany[17] and was buried beside her brother Dmitri in the vault of the church in Mainau, a possession of her son
