Grand Duke Andrei Vladimirovich of Russia (Russian: Андрей Владимирович; 14 May [O.S. 2 May] 1879 – 30 October 1956) was the youngest son of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia, and thus a grandson of Emperor Alexander II and a first cousin of Nicholas II, the last Russian emperor. In 1900, he began an affair with the famous ballerina Mathilde Kschessinska, becoming the third grand duke to fall for her. Grand Duke Andrei followed a military career and graduated from the Alexandrovskaya Military Law academy in Saint Petersburg in 1905. He occupied different military positions during the reign (1894-1917) of Emperor Nicholas II, but with no particular distinction. Read more on Wikipedia
