Nicholas II / Tsar Nicholas II's personal guard

« on: March 13, 2010, 02:03:46 PM »

I checked and it seems there is no topic about Nicholas II's personal guard.

In fact, I know somebody who claims that her great-great-grand-father was in the personal guard of the Tsar. She has always wanted to know more about him, but her great grand mother doesn't want to tell her anything.
The only thing she knows is his name: Leon Zoubkof (I don't know if it can also be spelled as Zoubkov?) and that he was an officer.
There is no information about him over the web, so I thought that perhaps some of you have any informations about those who worked in Nicholas II's personal guard. I think it can be of great help.

I didn't want this topic to be about only one person, so you can post informations about the other officers working in the personal guard too. It can also be interesting...

Thank you.

Well, as the last thread has almost reached 4o pages, what about a new one?

The Final Chapter / Why was the Ipatiev house called The House of Special Purpose?

« on: July 03, 2008, 04:07:47 PM »

You may think it is a silly question but I was really wondering.
Why was the Ipatiev House called 'The House of Special Purpose' ? And who called it with that name ?
Did it receive this name after the IF's murder ?

I apologize if it wasn't the good section or if someone has already asked this. I searched but no one aparently talked about this weird name.
