Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich Romanov. Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich Romanov Sergei Mikhail

Life and tragic death forever tied the family of the last Russian emperor and a very solid and faithful, as if hewn from one block, such a person as the Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich. The House of Romanov, which has existed for four hundred years, perceives the power as a heavy burden and service to the national unity and is ready to work for the good of the Motherland.

Childhood of the Grand Duke

The father of Sergei Mikhailovich was the son of Emperor Nicholas I, Mikhail Nikolaevich. He was appreciated as a major military leader and a very capable administrator. For 22 years he was the governor of the Caucasus. This post was both responsible and dangerous. But Mikhail Nikolaevich managed to conquer Chechnya, Dagestan, the Western Caucasus and put an end to the endless war. Mother, Olga Fedorovna, Princess of Baden, was the niece of Elizabeth I Alekseevna, who herself grew up in Spartan conditions. The family had 7 children.

In the photo Olga Fedorovna with her son Sergei. She raised her children in unconditional admiration for their father. Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich was born on the Borzhom estate in 1869 and was baptized in honor of saint Sergius Radonezhsky. The father and mother were strict with children, raising them to be able to endure hardships that could meet in military service, for which they were trained from childhood. Their grandfather Nicholas I was clearly taken as a model, who slept on a soldier's bed and covered himself with an overcoat. The sons had narrow iron beds, instead of box-spring mattresses - boards on which the symbolic thinnest mattress was laid. The rise was at six in the morning. Late was not allowed. Then kneeling prayer and a cold bath. Breakfast was the simplest - tea, bread, butter.

Study

Initially, Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich, like his brothers, received home education for eight years. He studied the Law of God, the history of Orthodoxy and other confessions, the history of Russia, Western European countries, America and Asia. Classes in mathematics, geography, languages \u200b\u200band music were required. Due to a mistake in a foreign word, the punishment followed - deprivation of sweets, in mathematics - an hour-long kneeling in the corner. In addition, the Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich mastered the handling of firearms, fencing, and even a bayonet attack. Horse riding was an integral part of the training. From the age of seven to fifteen, Sergei Mikhailovich and his brothers lived near Strelna in five rooms of the grand ducal palace on the high shore of the Gulf of Finland. This education and training determined the future direction of Sergei Mikhailovich's activity - military service. Capable of mathematics, loving precision in everything from the most early years, he chose the Mikhailovsky Artillery School in 1885. With this he made his father very happy, who himself had the education of an artilleryman.

Travel

In 1890-1891, when Sergei Mikhailovich was a little over twenty years old, together with his brother Alexander Mikhailovich, a naval officer, he made a trip on the yacht "Tamara" to the Indian Ocean, visited Batavia and Bombay. It was in India that Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich learned about the sudden death of his mother from a heart attack. Still a young woman could not bear her son Mikhail with Countess Merenberg, Pushkin's granddaughter.

Service

In 1889 S. graduated from an artillery school with the rank of second lieutenant. He grew up quickly and successfully in service.

Almost every three years he was promoted for his diligence. In 1904, we were already facing Major General Sergei Mikhailovich. The Grand Duke, simultaneously with the new rank, was enrolled in the retinue of His Majesty. Sergei Mikhailovich put a lot of effort into creating modern artillery, for its renewal in the Russian army, for the training of young artillerymen, both lower and higher ranks. The quality of the gunners' training under him increased dramatically.

Participation in coronation events

In May 1896, on a fine day, Sergei Mikhailovich took part in the coronation ceremonies in Moscow. On the occasion of the fine weather, the Grand Duke proceeded to the Khodynskoye field in an open carriage together with the Grand Duchess.

Among the military ranks, he greeted St. Sergius of Radonezh, members of the imperial family.

Fiery passion

The prima ballerina of the Imperial Mariinsky Theater MF Kshesinskaya was an extremely purposeful and strong-willed woman. Flirty to the core, she relied on sexuality. Manipulating men, driving them crazy, she succeeded with ease.

In his youth, Sergei Mikhailovich Romanov fell in love with her. In 1894, the Grand Duke gave the twenty-two-year-old beauty a dacha for her birthday in Strelna, not far from his family estate Mikhailovskoye. At this dacha, Sergei Mikhailovich spent five years with his Malechka, living like a family. But life with a notorious flirt was not easy. At the same time, she had an affair with the Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich. She distributed the roles in such a way that Sergei Mikhailovich paid all her bills and defended her interests before the administration of the theater. If Matilda Feliksovna wanted to perform in diamonds and sapphires, although such decorations did not fit the costume in terms of their role, it was still done as the incomparable ballerina wanted. She needed Vladimir Alexandrovich to ensure a strong position in society.

The birth of a son

In 1902, she gave birth to a son, who was named Vladimir in baptism, he received his patronymic Sergeevich, and the surname Krasinsky and the title of a hereditary nobleman were given to him by the emperor himself. Sergei Mikhailovich wanted to adopt a boy, although the child was not at all like him. However, Matilda Feliksovna hesitated. She had other plans. In the meantime, Sergei Mikhailovich happily engaged in the upbringing of the boy and did not complain about fate, although Matilda Feliksovna had already practically excommunicated him, carried away by the young Prince Andrei.

And Sergei Mikhailovich, meanwhile, forbade him to look at other women, but allowed herself to make gifts. The Grand Duke's character changed, he became withdrawn and did not attend social events. Twenty-five years of boundless love and forgiveness - is this not a true feeling that came to Sergei Mikhailovich. Volodya, whom he considered his son, on his sixteenth birthday, already being imprisoned in Alapaevsk, he sent a congratulatory telegram. And the young man sincerely loved him as a loved one.

After the abdication of the emperor

In the summer of 1917, Kshesinskaya, fleeing, fled away from revolutionary Petrograd to Kislovodsk. SM Romanov remained in it to settle the affairs of his beloved woman.

He wanted to equip a treasure hiding place in her mansion. Having lingered too long in the revolutionary city, trying to smuggle jewelry abroad through the British embassy and put them in the name of Vladimir, which he failed, the Grand Duke was arrested in the spring of 1918.

Martyrdom

At first Mikhailovich, along with others, was exiled to Vyatka. Then a month later they are sent to Yekaterinburg. He, judging by the reviews, was very democratic about the new government. This was reported by the bank manager V.P. Anichkov, who played preference with him in the evenings.

At the end of May 1918, all the Grand Dukes were transferred to Alapaevsk. At first, they were allowed to walk around the city, and residents communicated with them with love. But a month later, strict control was established over everyone, guards were installed. The number of products decreased, and Sergei Mikhailovich protested against such treatment. But secretly on the night of July 18, they were loaded onto a train under the pretext that they would transport everyone to a safe place. However, they were brought to the mines. Sergei Mikhailovich, feeling the atrocity, began to resist and was killed. His last thought was about his beloved Male, whom he held in his hand. The rest were thrown alive into the mines, where they perished like true martyrs.

So, tragically, as a result of bloody terror, Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich Romanov ended his life. The biography, which began with severe ordeals in childhood, continued with a half-shared love for a windy coquette, ended at forty-eight years old. He was too young to die, but life decided otherwise.

RATOV Sergey Mikhailovich

present fam. Muratov;

Actor, director, theater critic, teacher. On stage since the 1890s. Roles: Akim ("The Power of Darkness" by Tolstoy), Rasplyuev ("The Wedding of Krechinsky" by Sukhovo-Kobylin), Robinson ("The Bride of the Bride" by Ostrovsky), Lemm ("The Noble Nest" after Turgenev) and others. Contributor to the magazine "Theater and Art"

“He published large and voluminous studies on the 'physiology of the actor' (something like that), where he glorified the talent and divine gift of the actor.

The most remarkable thing - what made him unique - was that this favorite of the muses was a hunchback. He served in theaters, playing the first roles, and wore his hump, as another wears a lion's head. He played the only time a hunchback - Caliban in Shakespeare's Tempest and told me:

- Here's a role that I don't like.

About two years before the revolution, he once appeared to me and stuck, one might say, with a knife to my throat, asking me to come to a meeting of the “Society beautiful life“, Of which he was chairman.

“This is the most important thing now,” he explained. - All live ugly. That is why it is ugly in the theater. And it is necessary that life be beautiful. After all, how do they go today? Slouch. Or they think the crows ... But it should be beautiful - like this ...

And trying to straighten his hump, he showed how people should walk beautifully. In this aspiration of Ratov for beauty there was an evil, hunchbacked paradox of his unlucky life. He was created with the whole store of his soul for an artistic life - free and passionate; and on his shoulders he had a hump. Not an allegorical, symbolic hump, which often burdens artistic natures, but a real, physical one.

He died in the Obukhov hospital, forgotten and abandoned by everyone. Two or three actors accompanied his ashes, and a good half of the current actors, perhaps, do not know the name of Ratov.

And I remembered how one day he came to the editorial office of Theater and Art with a small manuscript wrapped in a tube and mysteriously looked around for a long time, until all the “outsiders” had left the room. Then he came close and with the same solemnity with which he announced the establishment of the Society of Beautiful Life, he said:

- Here (he slapped the pipe) I said everything about the modern theater. In one word. Printed.

- What is the word with which you stamped?

He chuckled like a petty demon and unfolded the manuscript. On the first sheet it was inscribed calligraphically: "Caliberda".

- Caliberd?

- Caliberd. You see, Caliberda. It is also "rubbish" and is not clear. From the director's notes.

And he began to rub his hands smugly.

I turned the page and read: “We are rehearsing a new play“ Wooden Birds ”. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe play is deep and simple. The performers are tied by the throats with a thin string, which is not visible on stage due to the lighting effects, but I hold the ends of the string, and pull at the conventional sign, standing behind the scenes. The main thing is to throw out the inner monologue to the public, and so that each visitor gets a hanger number on his ticket number, on which he can hang himself. For I am breaching the wall of opportunity. Caliberda - I repeat with hope - caliberda! "

- What? How did I seal them? It's over! Caliberda!

And Ratov looked at me with eyes full of vengeful faith and passionate anger. His hump protruded majestically forward, and he was all striving, impulse and will to fight "( A. Kugel. Leaves from the tree).

Tushin appeared on the threshold, timidly making his way from behind the backs of the generals. Walking around the generals in the cramped hut, confused, as always, at the sight of his superiors, Tushin did not consider the flagpole and stumbled over it. Several voices laughed. - How was the weapon left? - asked Bagration, frowning not so much at the captain as at the laughing ones, among whom Zherkov's voice was heard loudest. Tushin now only, at the sight of the formidable superiors, in all horror presented himself with his guilt and shame that, remaining alive, he had lost two weapons. He was so excited that he had not had time to think about it until now. The laughter of the officers further confused him. He stood before Bagration with a trembling lower jaw and barely spoke: “I don’t know… Your Excellency… there were no people, Your Excellency. - You could take from the cover! That there was no cover, Tushin did not say this, although it was the absolute truth. He was afraid to let the other boss down by this, and silently, with fixed eyes, he looked directly into Bagration's face, as a confused student looks into the eyes of an examiner. The silence was long enough. Prince Bagration, apparently not wishing to be strict, had nothing to say; the others did not dare to interfere with the conversation. Prince Andrey looked sullenly at Tushin, and his fingers moved nervously. - Your Excellency, - Prince Andrey interrupted the silence in his harsh voice, - you deigned to send me to the battery of Captain Tushin. I was there and found two-thirds of the men and horses killed, two weapons warped, and no cover. Prince Bagration and Tushin now looked with equal obstinacy at the restrained and excited Bolkonsky. “And if, Your Excellency, allow me to express my opinion,” he continued, “then the success of the day we owe most of all to the action of this battery and the heroic staunchness of Captain Tushin and his company,” said Prince Andrey and, without waiting for an answer, immediately got up and walked away from the table. Prince Bagration looked at Tushin and, apparently not wishing to show distrust of Bolkonsky's harsh judgment, and at the same time, feeling himself unable to fully believe him, bowed his head and told Tushin that he could go. Prince Andrew went out after him. “Thank you: I helped out, my dear,” Tushin told him. Prince Andrey glanced round Tushin and, without saying anything, walked away from him. Prince Andrew was sad and hard. It was all so strange, so unlike what he had hoped for. "Who are they? Why are they? What do they want? And when will it all end? " thought Rostov, looking at the changing shadows before him. The pain in my hand became more and more excruciating. Sleep was irresistible, red circles were jumping in my eyes, and the impression of these voices and these faces and the feeling of loneliness merged with the feeling of pain. It was they, these soldiers, wounded and not wounded, it was they who pressed, and weighed, and twisted the veins, and burned the meat in his broken arm and shoulder. To get rid of them, he closed his eyes. He forgot himself for one minute, but in this short interval of oblivion he saw in his dream countless objects: he saw his mother and her big white hand, saw Sonya's thin shoulders, Natasha's eyes and laughter, and Denisov with his voice and mustache, and Telyanin , and his entire history with Telyanin and Bogdanych. This whole story was one and the same, that this soldier with a harsh voice, and this then the whole story and this that soldier so painfully, relentlessly held, pressed and everyone pulled his hand in one direction. He tried to move away from them, but they did not let go of his shoulder either for a hair or for a second. It wouldn't hurt, it would be great if they hadn't pulled it; but it was impossible to get rid of them. He opened his eyes and looked up. The black canopy of the night hung for an arshin over the glow of the coals. Powders of falling snow flew in this light. Tushin did not return, the doctor did not come. He was alone, only a soldier was now sitting naked on the other side of the fire and warming his thin yellow body. “Nobody needs me! Thought Rostov. - There is no one to help or regret. And I was once at home, strong, cheerful, beloved. " - He sighed and involuntarily groaned with a sigh. - Ay hurts what? - Asked the soldier, shaking his shirt over the fire, and, without waiting for an answer, grunted, added: - You never know the people have been spoiled - passion! Rostov did not listen to the soldier. He looked at the snowflakes fluttering over the fire and recalled the Russian winter with a warm, bright house, a fluffy fur coat, fast sleighs, a healthy body and with all the love and care of a family. "And why did I come here!" he thought. The next day, the French did not renew their attacks, and the rest of the Bagrationov detachment joined Kutuzov's army. Prince Vasily did not consider his plans. He even less thought to do evil to people in order to gain profit. He was only a secular person who succeeded in the world and made a habit out of this success. He constantly, depending on the circumstances, on the rapprochement with people, made up various plans and considerations, in which he himself was not well aware, but which constituted the whole interest of his life. Not one or not two such plans and considerations were in use for him, but dozens of which some were just beginning to appear to him, others were achieved, and still others were destroyed. He did not say to himself, for example: "This man is now in power, I must acquire his trust and friendship and through him arrange a lump sum for myself," or he did not say to himself: "Here Pierre is rich, I must lure him into marrying my daughter and borrow the 40 thousand I need ”; but a man in strength met him, and at the same moment instinct prompted him that this man could be useful, and Prince Vasily approached him and at the first opportunity, without preparation, by instinct, flattered, became familiar, talked about than necessary. Pierre was at his fingertips in Moscow, and Prince Vasily arranged for him to be assigned to the cells of a cadet, which at that time was equal to the rank of state councilor, and insisted that the young man go with him to Petersburg and stay at his house. As if absentmindedly and at the same time with undoubted confidence that this should be so, Prince Vasily did everything that was needed in order to marry Pierre to his daughter. If Prince Vasily were thinking ahead of his plans, he could not have had such naturalness in his treatment and such simplicity and familiarity in dealing with all people placed above and below himself. Something attracted him constantly to people stronger or richer than him, and he was gifted with the rare art of catching the very moment when it was necessary and possible to use people. Pierre, having suddenly become a rich man and Count Bezukhim, after his recent loneliness and carelessness, felt himself to such an extent surrounded, busy, that only in bed he could be alone with himself. He had to sign papers, deal with public places, the meaning of which he did not have a clear idea of, ask the general manager about something, go to the estate near Moscow and receive many people who did not want to know about his existence before, but now would be offended and upset, if he did not want to see them. All these diverse persons - business people, relatives, acquaintances - were all equally well, affectionately disposed towards the young heir; all of them, obviously and undoubtedly, were convinced of Pierre's high merits. Incessantly he heard the words: "With your extraordinary kindness" or "with your beautiful heart," or "you yourself are so pure, count ..." or "if only he was as smart as you", etc., so he he sincerely began to believe in his extraordinary kindness and his extraordinary mind, all the more so as always, in the depths of his soul, it seemed to him that he was really very kind and very clever. Even people who were formerly evil and obviously hostile became gentle and loving with him. Such an angry eldest of the princesses, with a long waist, with hair smoothed like a doll's, came to Pierre's room after the funeral. Lowering her eyes and flashing incessantly, she told him that she was very sorry for the misunderstandings between them and that now she did not feel entitled to ask for anything, except for permission, after the blow that had befallen her, to stay for several weeks in the house that she loved so much and where so many sacrifices. She could not help crying at these words. Moved by the fact that this statue-like princess could change so much, Pierre took her hand and apologized, not knowing why. From that day on, the princess began to knit a striped scarf for Pierre and completely changed towards him.
