From today's featured article Nikolai Kulikovsky with his wife Olga Nikolai Kulikovsky (5 November 1881 – 11 August 1958) was the second husband of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia, the sister of Tsar Nicholas II and daughter of Tsar Alexander III. He was born into a military landowning family from the south of the Russian Empire, and followed the family tradition by entering the army. In 1903, he was noticed by Grand Duchess Olga during a military review, and they became close friends. Olga wanted to divorce her first husband, Duke Peter Alexandrovich of Oldenburg, and marry Kulikovsky, but neither her husband nor her brother, the Tsar, would allow it. Kulikovsky and Olga eventually married and had two sons. Olga's brother was deposed in the Russian Revolution and Kulikovsky was dismissed from the army by the revolutionary government. The Kulikovskys were then forced into exile in Denmark, where they lived until after World War II. The family emigrated to Canada in 1948. Kulikovsky died in 1958, aged 76, and was buried at York Cemetery, Toronto. (Full article...)
