Timofei Yachik's memoir
« on: May 05, 2014, 09:47:43 AM »
Does anyone know where I might be able to find this book:

http://www.dagmaria.dk/Irina_Demidova_Beside_the_Empress.html

It's the memoir of Timofei Yachik, a Cossack that served as a bodyguard of Empress Maria Feodorovna, and contains information on the escape of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna and her family from Russia. I don't think it's available in English, but does anyone know where I might find it in Russian or Danish?

Stephen R. de Angelis translated and published Timofei Yachik's memoirs in 2012:

Of course, this publication does not include the appendices provided by the Dagmaria society in the above-mentioned book, but one can order a paper copy of the memoirs themselves or read them on-line.
"The Correspondence of the Empress Alexandra of Russia with Ernst Ludwig and Eleonore, Grand Duke and Duchess of Hesse. 1878-1916"
"Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig and Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine in Italy - 1893"
"Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine - Gebhard Zernin's Festschrift"
