‘Faithful to the End: Aleksei Andreyevich Volkov (1859-1929)’ by Paul Gilbert
Born in 1859, Volkov served as valet at the Court of Emperor Nicholas II. In 1917, he voluntarily followed the Tsar and his family into exile to Tobolsk, but was separated from them in Ekaterinburg and imprisoned at Perm. It was here that he escaped a death march in September 1918 and survived.
Alexey Andreevich Volkov died in Estonia on 27th February 1929, in Yuriev (Tartu). He was buried at the Assumption Cemetery.
