Kdo chodil s Mathilde Kschessinska?

Mathilde-Marie Feliksovna Kschessinska (31 August [O.S. 19 August] 1872 – 6 December 1971), also known as Princess Romanovskaya-Krasinskaya upon her marriage, was a Polish-Russian ballerina from the noble Krzesiński family. Her father, Felix Kschessinsky, her brother and sister danced in Saint Petersburg. She was a mistress of the future Emperor Nicholas II of Russia before his marriage, and later the wife of his cousin Grand Duke Andrei Vladimirovich of Russia. She was known in the West as Mathilde Kschessinska or Matilda Kshesinskaya.

Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich of Russia (Russian: Серге́й Миха́йлович; 7 October 1869 – 18 July 1918) was the fifth son and sixth child of Grand Duke Michael Nikolaievich of Russia and a first cousin of Alexander III of Russia.

He was born and raised in the Caucasus, where his father was viceroy. In 1881 the family moved to Saint Petersburg. He became a close friend of the then Tsarevich Nicholas. They grew apart upon Nicholas II's marriage and accession to the throne. Grand Duke Sergei remained a bachelor living at his father's palace in the imperial capital. He had a long affair with the famous ballerina Mathilde Kschessinska, who had previously been the mistress of Nicholas II. She was also later involved with Grand Duke Andrei Vladimorovich. Sergei recognized Mathilde's son as his own and remained their protector until his death.

Following family tradition, Grand Duke Sergei pursued a military career. He served as General Inspector of the Artillery with the rank of Adjutant General. During World War I he was chief of the artillery department, a position he was forced to resign amid controversy. He was then appointed Field Inspector General of Artillery at Stavka. After the fall of the monarchy, he remained in the former Imperial capital keeping a low profile. With the ascension of the Bolshevists to power, he was sent to internal Russian exile.

He was murdered by the Bolsheviks along with several other Romanov relatives and his personal secretary at Alapayevsk on 18 July 1918, one day after the murder of Tsar Nicholas II and his immediate family at Yekaterinburg.

Svatý Mikuláš II. Alexandrovič (civilním jménem Nikolaj Romanov, rusky Николай II, v rodině přezdíván Nicky nebo Niki; 6. května^jul./ 18. května 1868^greg. Petrohrad – 17. července 1918 Jekatěrinburg) byl posledním ruským carem, králem polským a velkoknížetem finským. Za jeho vlády se prosazovala průmyslová revoluce. V březnu 1917 byl přinucen k abdikaci. V průběhu občanské války byl i s celou svojí nejbližší rodinou zavražděn bolševiky v Jekatěrinburgu.

V roce 2000 prohlásila ruská pravoslavná církev Mikuláše a jeho rodinu (spolu s dalšími 1 083 mučedníky) za svaté a na místě masakru byl postaven Chrám Všech svatých na krvi.
