A convivial royal liberal, Grand Duke Cyril flitted through Europe's night life, married a divorced woman, the Grand Duchess Victoria of Hesse-Darmstadt (an offense for which he was temporarily banished from Russia). In the Russo-Japanese War he was blown up on the Petropavlovsk at Port Arthur. When the 1917 Revolution began, he placed himself and his regiment at the service of the Duma, fled when Kerensky...
