• Notes

  The Grand Duke obtained permission from the Provisional Government to move his family from Petrograd to Borga in Finland and left the capital by train in June 1917. Grand Duchess Victoria gave birth to their only son, Grand Duke Vladimir Kyrilovich, the following month. The family remained in Finland until May 1920 when they moved to Germany. With the departure of the Grand Duke Kyril and family in June 1917, Romanov emigration abroad would be terminated until late 1918. During the intervening year and a half the Bolsheviks would come to power and drop out of the War, having signed the Treaty of Brest Litovsk with Germany in 1918. Many of the Romanovs would move into the southern Russia areas around the Black Sea during this same time period. He proclaimed himself Head of the Imperial House of Russia and Curator of the Throne on 8 August 1822 and Czar and Autocrat of all the Russias on 31 August 1924, thus perpetuating the grand ducal title through his line. He settled with his family first at Coburg and then at St. Briac, France. His autobiography My Life in Russia's Service--Then and Now, was published after his death in 1939. On 7 March 1995, his remains where intered in the Grand Ducal Vault of the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul in St. Petersburg.
