On 12 December 1877 Ignatiev were created Counts of the Russian Empire. Does anyone know more about the family of Ignatiev? Do they still exist? I would like to know if they are represented in Finland.

Their main estate seems to have been Chertolino in Tver Province:

Count Alexey Alexandrovich Ignatyev (1877 - 1954) was a senior officer who continued his career in the Red Army!
