Klementiy Nagorniy

[Louise]

I haven't read much in the area of Sailor/Nurse Nagorny.

What was his background, other than a sailor on the Standart? Why was he chosen as nurse to Alexei? Has there been any history given on his family and what happened to them after the revolution.

His devotion to Alexei and the family has always touched my heart.

Ditto, Louise.  I've actually found out more about Nagorny than I ever knew before as I continue reading Fate of the Romanovs.  I have always categorized him as the "junior" sailor-nanny, after Derevenko.  Was surprised to learn that the Ipatiev guards apparently discovered some hand grenades in the room he and Ivan Sednev had stayed in before they were sent to the Ekaterinburg city jail.

Thanks Jane. I'm still reading FOTR so I have to be patient.

Whoops...I am so sorry, Louise.  Hope I didn't spoil anything!  

Hope you are enjoying it as much as I am.

I am enjoying the book  tremendously. You didn't spoil it at all. Just gave me more to look forward to. Unfortunately work and life interfer with my play time here and reading.

Now this servant and true friend to the Tsarevich I truly admire.  I haven't seen that much about him, other than in FotR and one very nice picture in the photograph book 'Royal Russia', in which Nagorny stands calf-deep in water, holding Alexei - who smiles a very sweet, calm smile.

The story of the sailor care taker ,Nagorny,has always interested me too.Does anyone know the fate of the other care taker who left the family?

[LisaDavidson]

If you are refering to Derevenko. he is discussed on another thread. He died in the early 1920's while fighting for the Whites in the Civil War.

[borgia]

Lisa.Yes,thank you.It was Derevenko I was interested in.After I posted my asking,I saw that there was alot about him.

[borgia]

Were the bodies of Sednev and Nagorny ever found ?

[LisaDavidson]

I think the Whites found them?

[borgia]

 Lisa.Thank you.After I posted my question,I read that Nagorny and Sednev had been found;afew months after their deaths.Most likely by the whites.I  dont think that Prince Michael Romanov,and his secrectary,Brian Johnson,were ever found after their deaths.One of the men involved with killing them I think,took and kept,Johnsons watch.

[Pravoslavnaya]

Rejoice, o faithful companion to thy suffering young master, having gone fearlessly before him into martyrdom by only days!

[Candice]

I wonder if there is a web site that I can view photos of the sailors Derevenko, Nagorny and Sednev. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

[Genevieve]

Maybe someone can answer something I always wondered.  Did   Nagorny go with Alex when he went
to the front with his father?   Thanks in advance.
