"Nikolai had been the jewel of his parent's eye. He graduated from the law faculty of St. Petersburg University, was a gifted writer (publishing under the pen name "Rokov"), an amateur actor, and founder of a comedy troupe. He had plans to join one of the elite guards regiments when he was killed in a duel in June 1908 at the age of twenty-five by Count Arvid Manteifel, after falling in love with the count's wife, Countess Marina Heiden. Zinaida was devasted and never fully recovered." -Douglas Smith, Rasputin: Faith, Power and the Twilight of the Romanovs

Princess Zinaida's little white dog

Hello, this might be a shot in the dark but does anyone know the name of Princess Zinaida/Zenaide's dog? I've been looking all over the internet but there's nothing... Has it ever been known? I feel like it should be written down somewhere, right? We know about Felix's Punch and Gugusse and even his macaw but not his mother's dog?

this little white dog!!

I know two of Felix's dogs names but if you also infos on more, I'd gladly take them! I just love the Yusupov and their dogs and I wish we had more informations about them...

"Uncle Valerian was extremely shy. He had always been in love with my aunt Zeneide Youssoupoff, and had wanted to marry her. But he could never get up the courage to ask her. He was too timorous and unworldly to propose. Yet Aunt Zeneide was very fond of him, and my mother always said that Zeneide would have married him if he had asked her.

The funny thing was that Father, according to my mother (Princess Marie Obolensky, nee Narishkin), had also fallen in love with Zeneide before he began courting my mother. Then he discovered that his older brother Valerian was secretly interested in Zeneide, so Father retired and left the field to him. But as Valerian never mustered up enough courage to propose, Zeneide married General Youssoupoff, and Father married Mother, and Uncle Valerian never married anyone.”-Prince Serge Obolensky, One Man in His Time
