Quotes from others about the person
L. Gumilevskiy said: "He was not stupid, talented, sometimes he was very simple and sincere, but from childhood, he was captivated by someone's aristocracy: he began to instill it in himself, pulled words, stuttered and became ridiculous. He was the son of a pharmacist, but often hinted at the mystery of his origin, and in the end, he began to believe that he was the son of a great knyaz".
