Dear Imperial Russia enthusiasts,
Would you be so kind to assist me in finding out more information about my Grandfather?
His name was Stefan Filipovich Bezuglov (father Filip or Filipovich Bezuglov). I understand my grandfather was in the Tsar Nicholas II personal convoy and I believe he may have been a Kuban cossack based on his uniform. He used to tell my father and aunties he physically had to carry little Alexei at times around because he was unwell. The photos I have uploaded to dropbox are photos of photos and I am able to get clearer pictures if need be. Would you be able to share light on who he was? What regiment he was in? What was he?
https://db.tt/S8lUh3gb - When he was a young man.
https://db.tt/IzkPK5su - When he was elderly (note his badge?)
https://db.tt/dm6B5QVR - Sitting on the very end (2nd row on left) next to lady (directly behind little child). NOTE: We believe the 5th man (from left) in the front lying down in this photo is Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich of Russia. The plaque on the back right wall would be very significant. This is a photo of a photo - so I will need to scan it as it is in Cyrillic.
https://db.tt/Hjoc6Tj3 - Maybe someone can read the Cyrillic on this photograph?
https://db.tt/fSYp6LC8 - A closeup of a different photo - He is 4th man on the right. 3rd row next to the three men with black hats. He has a different coloured one.
Any help would be amazingly helpful. I've been trying to research my family tree since I was a little girl and only finally got these pictures sent to me.
Regards,
Svetlana Bezuglov
