ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The idea for this book came over dinner. In the winter of 2005 I was invited to the Connecticut home of Nikita and Maïko Cheremeteff. At the time I was writing a book on Nikita’s ancestor Count Nikolai Cheremeteff (Sheremetev) and was keen to meet a direct descendant of my subject. Although Nikita had no long-lost documents or startling family secrets t o share, I will never forget the wonderful evening I spent with my hosts: the relaxed conversation, the good food, and the genuinely warm hospitality. Within an hour I felt as if I had known them for years. During dinner Nikita paused briefly and then held up a piece of silverware, something vaguely resembling a small pâté knife. “Douglas,” he said to me with a slight grin, “this is all that remains of the Cheremeteff fortune.” And then he laughed. The moment lodged in my brain. I remember thinking: What must that have been like for his family, to belong to a distinguished, powerful, and wealthy clan and then suddenly, in the course of a few months, lose everything and be in danger for one’s life? Such a sudden and dramatic reversal of fortune seemed difficult to imagine. It must have been horrific to have experienced, yet it seemed to promise a fascinating subject to explore. Soon I knew I had the idea for my next book. I am extremely grateful to Nikita and to Maïko, who passed away in the summer of 2010, for their help and friendship over the years.
I have been fortunate in the course of my work on Former People to encounter similar generosity among the diaspora of the Russian nobility. Whether in Russia, France, England, or the United States, I have been repeatedly astonished by the enthusiasm that has greeted my research. My requests for information were granted in nearly every instance, and I have been moved by so many people’s readiness to share with me for this book
their most intimate family documents and photographs. Kyra Cheremeteff has been an enormous help. She has made crucial introductions, answered countless questions, read the book in manuscript, offering valuable suggestions and supplying additional information, and has given unflagging support. Catherine Cheremeteff Davison, Nikita’s sister, invited me to her home and permitted me to read from her extensive personal library. Nicholas Cheremeteff, Kyra’s brother, kindly introduced me to several key people in Moscow. Prascovia Cheremeteff-de Mazières of Rabat, Morocco, graciously wrote to me the details of her family’s experiences following the revolution and has been an informative correspondent on all things pertaining to the Sheremetevs and the nobility. I would like to recognize Mrs. Mary Jordan, Roger van Hanwehr, Paul Rodzianko, and Countess Nicholas Bobrinskoy for their comments and suggestions. Larissa Scherbatow kindly sent me a copy of her late husband’s book (Pravo na proshloe) and his sister’s unpublished diary. George Golitzin of California sent me a number of family documents that proved vital in reconstructing the experiences of Alexander and Lyubov Golitsyn and their children. I am extremely grateful to him. The late Peter Tatistcheff kindly permitted me to quote from his father’s unpublished memoir, “Crossing the Field.” I would also like to thank Eugene and Helen Troubetzkoy, Andrew Kotchoubey, and Sergei Lobanov-Rostovsky for their comments about my research.
In England, I have benefited greatly from the assistance of the descendants of Prince Nikolai Emanuelovich Galitzine. Alexander “Konky” Galitzine shared his knowledge of the family and introduced me to relatives who could be of further help. His brother George Galitzine spent hours showing me his extensive collection of family photographs, some of which he permitted me to use in my book, and he put me in touch with his cousin Liza Heseltine, who generously allowed me to cite her translation of her grandmother’s memoirs. Katya Galitzine invited me to her Cotswold home, where I spent a fascinating and fruitful day reading through her family archive. Katya’s mother, Jean Galitzine, opened her home to me as well and allowed me to examine her rich collection of Russian materials. Sonya and Philip Goodman gave me a delightful lunch and shared many fascinating family stories. Alexandre and Christine Galitzine of St. Pierre-lès-Nemours, France, were incredibly helpful. They provided photographs for the book, introduced me to other members of the Golitsyn family, and patiently answered my seemingly infinite questions. They opened their beautiful home to me and my family for lunch and informative talk about Russia and their family. Christine, an expert in Russian art and culture, allowed me to quote from her translation of Princess Zenaida Yusupov’s diary, and I have made extensive use of her translations published in the magisterial Princes Galitzine (2002), the definitive work on the Golitsyns that she, Alexandre, and several other members of the family labored on for many years.
