If my grandmother Lydia mentioned it, it was mostly in a whisper, saying that he had really loved his little daughter. And she had a photo of Maurice Gar\u00e7on with her icons, next to the Tsar family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The information I have about Feodor is from documents, the newspapers about the trial, the article by Jean Guyon-Cesbron &#8211; who was in love with my grandmother, knew the family and interviewed Dmitry, his article is one I consider most accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the newspapers give a lot of different dates. Some say Feodor met Elena in Paris, some say they went to Berlin in 1925. So for this, I have used the sources which I consider most accurate: my grandmother saying they went to Berlin after they lost everything due to the Great Crash and Feodor&#8217;s daughter&#8217;s interview (who was born in Bonn, not Paris) in which she mentioned going to Berlin when she was five years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feodor_after_the_trial\"><\/span>Feodor after the trial<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now when I started writing this book, I had no idea what had happened to Feodor after he was set free in 1933.

He stayed with his brother Dmitry, until he married in 1935. According to his papers, he was in Luxemburg from 1935-1937.  Whether Elena and Lidochka were with him, I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"802\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/the-kamendrovsky-archives.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/gescheiden-Elena.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-kamendrovsky-archives.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/gescheiden-Elena.png 802w, https:\/\/the-kamendrovsky-archives.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/gescheiden-Elena-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/the-kamendrovsky-archives.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/gescheiden-Elena-768x606.png 768w, https:\/\/the-kamendrovsky-archives.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/gescheiden-Elena-76x60.png 76w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Through the above paper, I learned that in 1937 he and Elena divorced. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brussels\"><\/span>Brussels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>He then went to Brussels where he lived from 1937 until May 30th 1944 when he was picked up by the Gestapo.
