Russian and foreign media have been captivated by the birth of the first Romanoff descendant in Russia since 1917.
The press has made numerous errors in their descriptions of this event and so before noting all the sources, we would like to point out the following. The last member of the Russian Imperial House to be born on the soil of the Russian Empire was the late Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich of Russia, born HH Prince Vladimir Kirillovich of Russia on 30 August 1917, in Poorvoo, Finland (then a part of the Russian Empire).
Several other “Romanov descendants” were born in Russia after the February revolution, including Tikhon Kulikovsky (son of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna), who was born 12 August, 1917 in Ukrainian Crimea (then part of the Russian Empire), Prince Roman Poutiatine (son of Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna the Younger) on 15 June 1918 in Petrograd. These two infants, however, were not members of the Imperial House, though they were relatives of it.
HSH Prince Alexander Georgievich Romanov (born Moscow, 21 October, 2022) is the first descendant of the Romanov family born in Moscow since Grand Duke Dimitri Pavlovoch was born at Ilyinskoe near Moscow, on 18 September, 1891. He is the first member of the Romanov family to be born in Russia since his Great Grandfather, Grand Duke Wladimir in 1917.
