Generously endowed by nature: as handsome as a God, music, draws, sings, composes poems. Lazy in the extreme, does not want neither to study nor to serve nor to be a soldier. To live, to have fun, do not care about conventions. Endless cross-dressing, transformation into the woman, ending the affair with the nephew of the Emperor, Grand Prince Dmitry Pavlovich. And then an incredible turn: marrying cousin of the latter, the niece of Nicholas II, Grand Duchess Irina Alexandrovna. There is no number of them committed extraordinary deeds. He's only little: visits to the fleshpots of Paris, performances in St. Petersburg of the variety under the guise of visiting cabaret singer, studying at Oxford. And does the unthinkable: participation in the murder hated throughout Russia the false prophet Grigory Rasputin.
