Well, I made my videos on Windows Movie Maker, so it's nothing speciall... ;-)

[Carolath Habsburg]

Does anybody know what became of Vladimir Wulfert?

And how serious was the possibility of a duel between him and Mikhail?

Mikhail did indeed behave extremely badly in having an affair with the wife of a brother officer, the more so because he was Commanding Officer and poor Wulfert a junior officer under his command.

[Aglaya]

After divorce with Natalie Sergyeyevna Vladimir Wulfert married again, with daughter of the wealthy marchant from Moscow - Petukhov. They had two daughters.
I think duel beetween him and Michael was just impossible, but angry Wulfert  was really dangerous, I readed about it in Crawford's book.

[Kalafrana]

RHanks for this. Of course, Wulfert had every right to be furious with Mikhail!

Katenka_Fyodorovna,

Greetings!  Yes, I did come across these excellent videos regarding the GD.  I do not speak any Russian, however, one can easily follow along if they are familiar with the activities during this period...I was so intrigued by the video's, I contact my local library, and obtained a copy of "The Grand Duke's Woman", by Pauline Gray,  via Interlibrary Loan.

Thank you for sharing the details on where the video's may be viewed by members of the forum.

What do you think about the book of "The Grand Dukes Woman", by Gray?

Hello Teddy,

I very much enjoyed reading Pauline Gray's book.  It is short, and somewhat difficult to locate immediately.  You can get it through your public library on inter library loan.  I believe I paid $2.36 USD to have it sent to my city library.

It is an account of what Ms. Gray knew of her grand mother, and the GD Mikhail.  She brings forward some detail about the espionage of this period, however, the more I read and study, there was much much more.  History, of course, only can tell us about what has been documented as evidence.  Ms. Gray also shares what comes from her mind...

There are some photos of documents used by Natalya, and pictures that I found of particular interest.

Hmmm..i didnt know how to put this but well..i decided here. If someone wants to move it, go ahead..


Seems that everybody wants to be  son of Mikhail and Natasha....

Here s a guy who says  his grandmother was daughter of Mikhail and Natasha and she was born  in 1918 and also states that Misha ran away from his captors

I introduce you...Pilar Romanov...(there s even a picture in hi res about her)

Check his whole family tree, says that Nicholas also survived the revolution and died circa 1930.

How look your face after reading this? >>>>> 0_o....likes this..huh? xDDD
