Talk:Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich of Russia

message: This article itself is bordering on whether it now can be regarded as encyclopedic. The old man in question did apparently not do anything individually prominent. But it is yet more fragmenting to make also separate articles of his less-than-prominent children too. This could be formed to an article that lists and explains this guy and all his non-prominent children and close relatives (i.e, sort of family page) - such gives also better context to all these persons. 217.140.193.123 08:29, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Consistency in transliteration with the other Romanovs. Also the K matches the usual transliteration of his pseudonym, and a quick Google earns about 8 times more hits for the K version than the C version.

As a personal "young" friend of the late Princess Vera Konstantinovna Romanov, I can assure you, that in Russian translation the name is spelled with a "K" and without an "E" ending. I myself, am Konstantin Konstantinovich, and was a very close friend to Vera Konstantinovna when she lived and died in Valley Cottage. K.K.H.
*Support: Konstantin (with or without the 'e') is what he is always refered to as, even in books in English. As his nickname is KR, it would probably be better to move it to Konstantin anyway. Morhange 00:03, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we can pretty much settle back to the old "K" versions how they used to be before this Arrigo decided to move them all on purpose. Gryffindor 01:50, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

У ОЗЕРА
            М. Д. Давыдову
Усталый сын земли, в дни суетных забот,
Средь мелочных обид и светского волненья,
У озера в лесу ищу уединенья.
Не налюбуешься прозрачной гладью вод:
В ней словно тайная есть сила притяженья.
Не оттого ль меня так к озеру влечет,
Что отражается в струях его порою
Вся глубина небес нетленною красою -
И звезд полуночных лучистый хоровод,
И утро ясное румяною зарею,
И светлых облаков воздушная семья?
Не оттого ль, что здесь, хоть и пленен землею,
К далеким небесам как будто ближе я?
5 октября 1889, близ станции Белой
It is said in the article that without the publication of his diaries, nobody would know that he was homosexual, but that is not true : in the preface of her biography about Tchaikovsky, Nina Berberova wrote that several Grand dukes are homosexual : 
Serguei Alexandrovitch, uncle of the czar.
Nicolas Mikhaïlovitch, cousin of Alexander III.
Constantin, grandson of Nicolas the First.
Oleg, son of Constantin and two other sons of Constantin.
Dimitri, brother of Constantin.
Dimitri Pavlovitch, cousin of Nicolas the Second.
