Grand Duke Michael "safe"
September 9, 1919
An aide to Grand Duke Michael of Russia says that the heir to the throne is safe, according to a report in the New York Times. The Grand Duke is reported to have "made his escape in a motorboat, cruising along the River Haini to Irkutsk, from which place he subsequently went aboard and since has remained incognito."
In the past year, there have been several other reports of the Grand Duke in hiding, including most recently in Archangel.
