Hi

Can anyone tell me whether Vladimirovich Wonlarlarsky (Vonlarlarsky or Vonliarliarsky) was Master of the Horse for NII or AIII?]

Many thanks.

Kind regards.

Hi

I am probably way behind the times but having a rummage round Google Earth tonight I see that the maps have vastly improved and those for Tsarskoe Selo were really good and brought back happy memories of my trip there, putting the location into perspective.

Kind regards.

Russian Imperial Medals, Orders, Uniforms & Militaria / Recipients of Imperial Orders

Hi

Is there anywhere I can easily check whether someone was the recipient of an Imperial Order during the NII reign (ie the Order of St Andrew)?

Thanks!

Russian Imperial Medals, Orders, Uniforms & Militaria / Preobrazhensky Regiment

« on: December 31, 2004, 04:24:01 AM »

Hiya

Can anyone tell me a little about the Preobrazhensky Regiment (life guards)? I would also like to know where the regimental headquarters were, if there was one, in Tsarskoe Selo?

The chap I am interested in was a second lieutenant.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Wishing you a happy and peaceful new year.

Russian Imperial Medals, Orders, Uniforms & Militaria / Yellow Cuirassiers

« on: September 14, 2004, 03:25:44 AM »

Hi

Further to my correspondence with Mike in one of the other forums, I wondered if anyone could fill me in on a little detail of the Yellow Cuirassiers as this is not a regiment I had previously heard of.  Any general info but I was also wondering who was the Commander in Chief?

Russian Noble Families / Princes Abamelik-Lasarev

« on: August 31, 2004, 02:52:56 AM »

Hi

I tried this in the friends and retainers topic by mistake so just thought I would also try here...

Has anyone heard of Princes Abameshkya or Princess N Abamelik?  I am not sure whether they are one and the same person.  The address I have for Princess Abameshkya is opposite the riding school in Tsarskoe Selo.  

Any info gratefully received!

Thanks.
