Tatiana Nikolaevna & Dmitri Malama

[blessOTMA]

In her book about Alexis ( Le dernier Tsarevitch enfant martyr ) Princess Eugenie de Grece states that Dimitri Malama who gave the brindle " girl " Ortipo to GD Tatiana had himself a French Bulldog named Rojah ? 

What interesting information! This would make his gift even more personal. I hope Princess Eugenie de Grece 's book is translate into English some day! And the book you are writing for sounds great too! Please let us know when its available. I wish I could  help you with your question...someone will, I'm sure.

So sorry to ask, but as a French man, I am afraid I do not know what RDR  ( in front of a first name ) means ?

It is abbreviation for the clergy rank of Reader in the Greek Orthodox Church.

Thank you for the information about the meaning of Rdr.

Dmitriy Malama and Vladimir Kiknadze was quite handsome men. But I think Malama was more.

My grand father who was Dmitrij's younger cousine, recalled that after he knew about the murder, he began intentionally to look for death in action. After some heroic deeds he finally fell in the battle in the Sallski steppes.  It would be great to know though references to statements that he was killed near Tsaritsyn (how symbolic for him!) and where exactly is his grave. I saw somewhere an account that it is in Ekaterinodar.

Dear Rdr.Michael Malama !
I 'm so much surprized !!!! Thank you for Your information and this wonderful new photo of Dmitry Malama .

Here's photo of Dmitrij Yakovlevich probably around spring of 1912. Honestly speaking, I believe him to be among the Synaxis of the Holy New Martyrs of Russia. As St. Righteous John of Kronstadt asserted, all soldiers who fall in the battle honestly carrying out their duty and oath to the Tzar, are taken to the Heavenly hosts by the King of kings.

Извините , не могла удержаться .

Дорогая о Господѣ Татьяна,

Низко Вамъ кланяюсь за столь теплое отношеніе къ памяти воина Димитрія и трудамъ по клипу. Дмитрій Яковлевичъ задалъ намъ высокую планку своимъ отношеніемъ къ Россіи, долгу и близкимъ людямъ. Большое спасибо всѣмъ форумчанамъ за появившуюся  возможность показать сыновьямъ неизвѣстныя намъ ранѣе фото Д.Я.

I’m just curious: does anybody know what uniform Dmitri is wearing on the picture where he is sitting? It looks different from that of the Pajeski corpous, and yet doesn’t seem to be an ulan uniform…

Nicolá will know! lol!

Dear Michael, if you mean this photo, then this is no doubt military uniform of a Page Corps.

[Rdr. Michael]

Well, since the uniform on the photo where Dmitrij is standing is for sure that of the Page Corps, how one could explain the difference between the two? Is the one you refer to a field uniform?

To be honest with you I do not know exactly (I'm not an expert of the military uniform from different military institutions;)), but I think you are right, when we are talking about the photo where Dmitry standing. I also think as you, that this is kind of more ceremonial uniform.

Michael, if you are interested in this case, here is a link to Columbia University Library with intersting photos and information about Imperial Corps of Pages.

Does anyone know what year it was that Malama came to the hospital after he was wounded... like what year did Tatiana meet him in the hospital?

[nena]

I guess he came to the hospital in 1914/1915. I am absolutely correct, am I?

'Well, since the uniform on the photo where Dmitrij is standing is for sure that of the Page Corps, how one could explain the difference between the two? Is the one you refer to a field uniform?'

In the standing picture, Dimitri Malama is wearing the uniform of a kammer-page, i.e. a final year student attached to a member of the Imperial Family. In the seated picture he is, I think, rather younger and wearing the uniform of an 'ordinary' member of the Corps des Pages.
