MANUSCRIPTED ARCHIVES AND CORRESPONDENCES OF PRINCE SERGE GEORGUIEVITCH ROMANOVSKY (1890-1974) AND MISCELLANEOUS (*) Prince Serge Romanovsky was a man of many talents. Through his writings and correspondence, we discover, first of all an officer of the Russian Imperial Army, a war hero, but above all a man faithful to his moral commitments to Tsar Nicholas II and his people. Then when he is in exile, deprived of everything, he organizes with great willingness the assistance to Russian refugees in France and Italy. The archives we are putting up for sale also reveal that the prince is also the author of many scientific and historical articles, but also a man of spirit and an excellent politician. His texts and plays show his writing skills.
