Who is Michael Romanov?

Answer 1

There are several people with this name. in the Russian Royal family he was the brother of Czar Nicholas and hence a Grand Duke, He was very briefly (acting Czar) when Nicholas first abdicated- but in practice never reigned, He was a general in the Imperial Army- yes called the Red Army ( in honor of Mars- God of War, the Red planet) the term Red Army was used Before the communist uprising. Michael never reigned, really but did function in a (Battlefield commission) role hence he wore a Garrison Hat rather than a crown! He did not survive the revolution, I believe he may vhave been ousted by mutinous troopers, a very real occupational hazard went he Armies of Russia were being split up into Red -here Communist, and White ( Czarist) factions. Few units stood tall one pocket or the other. The famed Cossacks were split both ways, for example. There were different Cossack units and tribes- and different uniforms, hats, insignia, etc. the Don Cossacks are best-known to the general public, but there were also Terek, Siberian, and other tribal groups, all essentially Cossacks such as the Zaporogets, there is a Toy store in my town called Roguts, maybe originally it was Zaporogets- nothing to do with ray-guns.
