The von Carlows are not the head of either family.  This was a morganatic line, and not recognized as heirs to the Strelitz line.  Both houses are now considered extinct in the male line.  About a decade ago, a small book on the carlows was published in Strelitz.


There is  a book on The Carlows (and their palace in Saint-Petersburg) in Russian,published in 1990s. I had got it - very informative.

As for mysticism of Grand Duchess Militza there was an amazing story told by Felix Yusupov.One day he was walking along a road (somewhere in the Crimea estates of Romanovs) and saw Militza driving by her carriage.She was in a company of famous Monsier Philippe:certain french charlatan who called himself Doctor Philippe (Militza had introduced him to Nicholas and Alexandra ).Felix greeted Militza and her fellow-traveller courteously but they didn`t pay attention looking through him.Being in a puzzle Felix would asked Militza some days after about such unpolite treatment of him.And Militza answered very seriously:"You COULD NOT see me as I was with Monsier Philippe.He is invisible when he wears his hat and all the people by his side are invisible too." Yussupov was shocked.

Doctor Philippe had treated of epilepsy son of Militza  (Roman )and Militza had a great implicit belief in Monsier.

Thank you for posting that poem, Elisabeth and thanks to Svetabel for indentifying it.   Rather haunting in English, and I'm sure it sounds beautiful in Russian.   ;)

I learn this short poem many years ago and was always impressed by it.The words are very simple but sound so sad and moving in Russian

Georgi Ivanov (1894-1958 ) -a poet of Silver Age.

I know  Russian text and I could not find English version. I`ll try to translate (my native is Russian but I`m not a poet    ::))
