Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Ivan Artsishevsky about himself: I was born in China to a family of Russian emigrants of the so-called "first wave". The biographies of my parents could form the basis for a fascinating novel: my mother, Nina Valentinovna, was born in Japan, where the family of her father, an officer of the White Guard, moved. It is known that the retreating General O. V. Kappel, who led the White movement in the Far East, died in the arms of my grandfather, my mother's father. My father, Sergei Antonovich Artsishevsky, was born in Harbin, back in 1922, into a family of participants in the construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway (CER).
  2. ^ Ivan Artsishevsky about himself: All over the world, the owner of the establishment - the owner - tries to teach the waiter so that he perceives the person coming to the restaurant as a guest. Accordingly, the waiter rejoices, tries to help him in every possible way and feed him delicious food. We still often have a different attitude: they say, I work, and you walk around here!.. Unfortunately, this is the legacy of the Soviet system, which still remains in very many - I don’t want to say that in all, but in very many - waiters. They begin to either serve or become arrogant. Both are sides of the same coin - an inferiority complex. You need to get rid of it!
  3. ^ His Excellency Prince Mikhail Pavlovich Romanovsky-Ilyinsky, president of the "Association of Members of the Romanov Family" from August 1 to December 3, 2017, grandson of Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich and vice-president of the Association of Members of the Romanov Family since 2011.
  4. ^ Ivan Artsishevsky about himself: I fully admit that Pavel Eduardovich was used in the dark. He himself is quite active in maintaining interest in the history of the Romanovs. But he is not a pushy one. On July 17, 1998, I helped him get to the ceremony of reburial of the royal remains: he could not explain to the blockhead policemen that he was not a gawker like me, but the great-grandson of Nicholas II's sister. A quarter of a century has passed, how old I am...
