Amazingly enough, after 1918 no such boy was born into the deposed imperial house who would have been entitled to the title grand duke - i.e., had been a male-line grandson of a reigning emperor; although such would have been technically possible, as there lived sons of reigning emperors and their sons would have been so entitled.

Famous quotes containing the words grand, russia and/or house:
“The great object of Education should be commensurate with the object of life. It should be a moral one; to teach self-trust: to inspire the youthful man with an interest in himself; with a curiosity touching his own nature; to acquaint him with the resources of his mind, and to teach him that there is all his strength, and to inflame him with a piety towards the Grand Mind in which he lives. Thus would education conspire with the Divine Providence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In Russia there is an emigration of intelligence: émigrés cross the frontier in order to read and to write good books. But in doing so they contribute to making their fatherland, abandoned by spirit, into the gaping jaws of Asia that would like to swallow our little Europe.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to this house!’ And if anyone is there who shares in peace, your peace will rest on that person; but if not, it will return to you.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 10:5,6.
