Romanovs in Exile: Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich

Dmitri Pavlovich (1891-1942) was one of the few Romanov Grand Dukes to survive the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. His son and grandchildren will be able to see the restored Alexander Palace, a true rarity among the Palace's 21st century residents. Ironically, Grand Duke Dmitri survived because of his involvement in the plot to murder degenerate "healer" Rasputin. Sent in disgrace by Tsar Nicholas II to join an Army unit in Persia, now Iran, after the 1916 murder, #GrandDukeDmitri later escaped to England, and from there to the United States. He is the only Romanov whose line held elected political office, in #PalmBeach . He was also the potential inspiration for the scrappy character Dmitri in the 1997 film #Anastasia.
