Interesting fact (about which I have learned recently): through my mother, I am a direct descendent of Rurik, the Prince of Novgorod and the first ruler of Russia; and then of the Grand Princes of Kiev: St. Vladimir the Great, St. Yaroslav the Wise, and Vladimir Monomakh; then of a succession of Princes of Smolensk, Novgorod and Yaroslavl, from whom descended the Princes Douloffs family.
