Standing 1.98 m (6ft 6in) Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich Николай Николаевич Романов (младший) of Russia towers above everyone around him. This newsreel footage, IWM IWM 1070d, shows him meeting the Russian Tsar on the Caucasus Front, around Easter of 1916. After the Revolution he fled Russia in Apr 1919. He escaped on British Royal Navy battleship HMS Marlborough just before the Red Army advanced on his position. As one of the few surviving Russian Royals and the first cousin once removed of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II, he was briefly made Russian Tsar by a White Russian faction in 1922.
He and his wife escaped just ahead of the Red Army in April 1919. After a stay with his brother-in-law, King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy he moved to a house outside of Paris. On Nov 16 1924 he assumed supreme command of all Russian forces in exile and was one of only a few who was well liked by White-Russians. On the French Riviera, Grand Duke Nicholas passed away on Jan 5 1929 of natural causes; he was 72 years old.
