Does he have any decendants

[amelia]

Yes he has. His son was Paul Illinsky, the mayor of Palm Beach for many years. Paul Illinsky had sons and daughters who live in Cinccinatti, where Dimitry's wife was from. There are also grandchildren.

Dmitri at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm

Interesting that Dimitri was using the forward seat at a time when it was very new and controversial. Perhaps he was influenced by Paul Rodzianko, who went to Italy, the birthplace of the forward seat,  to train with the Italian cavalry.

Great photos Bryndis! I always wanted to see more of Dmitri at that year's Olympics. The Russian team made a mediocre at best showing but Dmitri did rather well given he was one of the youngest and least experienced competitors. Had the 1916 not been cancelled and had Dmitri been invited back it would have been interesting to see if he could have medaled.

Does anyone know who Dmitri's godparents were? and his sister Maria's too for that matter - besides Serge and Dagmar.
