Paul Kulikovsky

Paul Edward Kulikovsky is the great-great-grandson of Empress Maria Feodorovna (also known as Empress Dagmar, as she was born Princess Dagmar of Denmark) who was wife of Alexander III of Russia and mother of Nicholas II of Russia. Paul is married to Ludmilla, with whom he has two daughters. Majesty magazine call his wife "Ludmilla" in their article, Home at last (Vol. 27, No. 11, November 2006) about the reburial of Empress Dagmar. However, The Peerage states that he is married to Kirsten Hansen since December 1989 and their daughters are Maiken and Zandra Kulikovsky-Hansen, born respectively in 1990 and 1991 [http://www.thepeerage.com/p6580.htm#i65793]. According to the Danish Monarchy (official site), when Maiken and Zandra attended the St. Petersburg ceremonies for Empress Dagmar, they were listed without the Kulikovsky name, so it seems that they use only the Hansen name.

Born on 17 December 1960, he grew up in Denmark but presently lives in London, where he works in business. He is the son of Xenia Kulikovsky and her first of three husbands, Ralph Jones. He has three half-siblings [http://www.thepeerage.com/p6579.htm#i65789].

Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia was his great-grandmother. She married Colonel Nikolai Alexandrovich Kulikovsky. They had two sons, Tikhon and Yuri (or Juri). Yuri Nikolaeovich Kulikovsky is Paul's grandfather. Xenia Kulikovsky, his mother, moved to Canada during World War II because she, like many Romanov descendents, feared an invasion of Denmark. She has returned to Denmark after the death of her mother, however, and lives outside of Copenhagen. Her children and grandchildren use the name of Kulikovsky or Kulikovsky-Romanoff.

In September 2006, Paul Kulikovsky read the eulogy at the memorial service for the Empress Dagmar that was held in Roskilde Cathedral,Copenhagen just before the coffin began its journey to Saint Petersburg to be reburied beside the Empress' beloved husband in Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral.
