Archpriest Alexander-
“My grandfather, Vladimir Pavlovich Krasovsky, loved to recall his two meetings with Emperor Nicholas II. The first meeting took place at the beginning of the 20th century. The Emperor inspected Palace Square, sometimes asking questions, one of whom was my young grandfather:
- Lieutenant ...
- Krasovsky, Your Imperial Majesty!
- Single?
- That's right, Your Imperial Majesty!
Nicholas II smiled:
- Okay, but not for too long ...
And he went on.
In 1913, during inspection, the Emperor again bypassed the guard loyal to him and went up to my grandfather, who was now the captain of the guard:
- Captain!
And, smiling, he finished himself:
- Krasovsky!
The Sovereign had a great memory, so that he remembered by name everyone he met. He asked the same question that he had asked him a few years ago:
- Single?
- Not at all, Your Imperial Majesty! I am married and have two sons
- Well done!
“Grandfather loved to recall this incident and told his sons about it with pride and love for the Emperor.”
