Servants/Friends/Retainers of the Family of Nicholas I

[Dru]

I'm looking for names of and information about servants, friends, and retainers of the family of Tsar Nicholas I, particularly around the early to mid-1840s.  Friends of the empress and her daughters especially interest me, but I'd be very grateful for whatever help I can get.  Many thanks in advance.

There is a whole section on Nicholas I here:

It doesn't have much about friends and retainers, but it does have some book titles you could pursue.
