Okay what about this one?

http://nd01.jxs.cz/049/498/73c64ef735_41933329_o2.jpg

Where are they? It looks like there at a well or something and does anyone know who the soldier next to Maria is?

Thanks, I've always wondered about it!

This man is an Officer (Sotnik or US Lieutenant) of the HIM Cossack's Convoy Regiment, Uzik Zborovsky. He committed suicide in 1916.
Good grief Nicolá , is it known why? The War? was he badly wounded?

The "Well" or whatever they're standing behind is that still there (is there a photo of it today)? What are OTMA holding?  :)

I've never seen a modern photo of that spot. OTMA are holding tennis rackets.

It appears that the photo:

http://nd01.jxs.cz/049/498/73c64ef735_41933329_o2.jpg

is the same as this one (below) on Beinecke.

http://highway55.library.yale.edu/ROMANOVIMG/size4/D0106/1000225.jpg

My description of this photo is:

"Emperor Nicholas II, his daughters and an officer in the gardens of the Farm Palace in Peterhof, 1914-15."

I guess the reason is because it looks to me that this is the same arbor as in the photo below which is located at the Alexandria Park Farm Palace. Check out the vines running up the posts and the spacing of the lattice on top of the arbor. They appear to be the same to me, though, I may be way off.

http://highway55.library.yale.edu/ROMANOVIMG/size4/D0014/00144011.jpg

My description of this photo (above) is:

"Villa of Maria Feodorovna, the Farm Palace, Alexandria Park, Peterhof."

BTW, just guessing, but that may be a horse trough in the first photo, albeit an ornate one.

Some corrections about this interesting man. I firstly mistaken about his "suicide". Thank to the person with nickname "cosser" across the Russian internet. Btw, Demenkov's confusion with Butakov is also him/her "work";).

Zborowski Victor Erastovich (1889 - 9. 10. 1944, Austria). Russian Officer, WWI and White Guard military commander. Fought on the Nazi's side against the USSR. Major General during WWII (Oberst). Holder of the Iron Cross (received just before his death from the injuries).

Born in 1889 in Cuban. Graduated from the Moscow Kadet Corps and Nicholas Military school. From 1912, Officer of the HIM Cossack Convoy. Fought in the WWI where was  seriously injured. Treated in the Tsarskoe of GD hospital. Participated in the Rus. Civil War on the White's side in different positions, Regiments and with different ranks, from Sotnik to Colonel (commanded HIM Convoy in 1920). Emigrated to Yugoslavia.

And the most interesting: in December of 1941 joined the Russian Corps in Serbia. Corps fought against the USSR and Yugoslav partisans on the Axis side. Commanded the 1st Cossack Regiment. Participated in the different serious battles and was deadly injured in 1944. Received Iron Cross just before his dead. Later 1st Cossack Regiment was named after him. Buried in Graz.

You're right, Katya -- the photo is labeled as Peterhof in Vyrubova's album #3 at Beinecke:

Thanks for the verification. I believe that the officer in photo #1000225 is "Commander Zborowski of the Convoy of His Majesty."

He is also in Beinecke photo's #1000231, 1000232, 1000233, 1000234, 1000235 & probably 1000236.

I don't remember where I found the above info., but assume it was from a reasonably reliable source.

Thanks again,

Katya C.

Standart, Polar Star.

Probably for the same reason photos of Nicholas II in a wheelchair in during his recover from typhoid in 1899 are often labeled as taken in captivity -- it makes a better story.

Correct - IMO, newspapers were those who labeled that photo to have been taken at Ipatiev House, to demand the stories about Tsar's execution in 'June conspiracies', and to show his safety at Yekaterinburg.

It was taken in 1913, during the IF's tercentenary tour. I know matushka posted once with the exact date and location, but I can't find the info now...

Kostroma, I knew the name of the ship, May of 1913.

EDIT : I can read  'Mezhin' on the 'ball'. So it is the name of the ship.
