Wait, he was cured of tobercuosis in 1942? A year after dying? Seems a bit odd to me.
"the somewhat fascist Young Russian movement around Alexander Kazem-Bek, who was later found out to have been a Soviet agent provocateur — a thoroughly dishonourable affair." - this is actually not a fact, but rather a theory and not a very plausible one. Alexander Kazem-Bek was hardly a Soviet agent, though he did eventually move to and died in the Soviet Union. He moved back there probably just like many others in those times to get back to their motherland under a false hope that things will get better simply because its Russia. The organization he founded was called "Impertsy", and was indeed "somewhat fascist".
The phrase in the first sentence "one of the few Romanovs to escape execution by the Bolsheviks after the Russian Revolution" is inaccurate. Before the Russian Revolution there were 53 Romanovs living in Russia; 17 were executed and 35 escaped. Nicholas Constantovich, a grandson of Nicholas I had been exiled to Central Asia for stealing his mother's diamond necklace. He was killed in 1918 in Tashkent but the circumstances are unknown.
