Gustaf and Anastasia had two daughters, Anastasie (1893-1977) and Sophie (24 July, 1895 – 8 February, 1963).

The marital relationship probably began to deteriorate around 1896, and at the turn of the year, Anastasia left for the Far East in the service of the Red Cross.

The marriage ended in an unofficial separation in 1902 and in a divorce in 1919. Anastasia moved abroad with the two daughters in 1903 and died in Paris on the 31st of December, 1936.

The children attended Catholic boarding schools in France and received an Anglo-French education. In 1913, both the daughters went to Finland to live with relatives, because the father, who was in Poland at the time, was not able to look after them.

Anastasie’s health had been frail since childhood and, after growing up, she had a tendency to isolate. After her conversion into Catholic faith she joined in with the Carmelites in England, but left the convent in the 1930s.

Sophie, the younger daughter, lived in Switzerland and England during the First World War. In 1918 she came to Finland to see her father, and

participated in the Helsinki University Promotion in 1919 as the binder of the bays. She did not, however, feel at home in Finland for any length of time, and made her permanent home in France. There she participated in a pro-Finland campaign during the Winter War.
