Sergei Vladimirovich Markov is a representative of the White emigration, a monarchist, and a former officer. He volunteered for the First World War at the age of 16 and met the fateful year of 1917 as a young eighteen-year-old cornet, but already with severe frontline wounds and St. George's Crosses for bravery.
Sergei Markov served in the Crimean Cavalry Regiment, whose chief was Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, who cared for her officers, including "little" Markov, as she called him. The former cornet retained loyalty to his "imperious chief" for the rest of his life. He was one of the few officers who tried to do something to save the royal family, which was under arrest after the February Revolution, even went to Tobolsk after the exiled empress and her relatives. Alas, it was unbearably hard to watch the arrested from afar, without being able to do anything to help. And to provide effective assistance in their release, without jeopardizing the lives of members of the royal family, the boy-cornet even with the help of a few friends could not. In 1928 in Vienna published a book of memoirs by Sergei Markov "Abandoned royal family", in which he talks about everything he experienced during the Russian Revolution, about people from the inner circle of the royal family and how they revealed themselves in the terrible days of the people's revolt, about the Civil War beginning in Russia and the overthrown crown princes, who had no one to help in the last days of life ....
