Russian emigration of the first wave in the records and writings of Russian officers

The article is devoted to the forgotten pages of Russian history, reminiscent of a gallery of images. The focus of the research is on the personality of the church historian Evgeny Nikolaevich Sumarokov, little-known facts from the life of the inner circle of the Royal Family. Additions and clarifications are being made to the bio-bibliographic data of the Russian Imperial Army database (RIA). The question of milestones in the biography of Alexander Ivanovich Kublitsky, an officer of the Guards Naval Crew, buried at the Russian Cemetery in Tunis, is being discussed. The focus is on a rare factual source - the album calendar of Grand Duchess Anastasia, stored in the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian State Library.
