Talk:Felix Yusupov

"French court"

In the Lawsuits section of the article, the article states that "The French court ruled it had no jurisdiction over a political killing that had occurred in Russia." "French court" redirects to an "Royal court" when the court in question was a court of law. This hyperlink is faulty and should be either removed or link to an article about the French judiciary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glolichen (talk • contribs) 19:33, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

LGBT issue

I have removed the Category:Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people tag from this article. The article only maintains that Yusipov was allegedly homosexual. This tag should only be added to individuals who were indisputedly homosexual. If someone has notations, then fine, but I don't think it should be added until then.

IMO, there's not the slightest doubt that he was bisexual. All historicians pretty much agree on this, as do people who met him, and he pretty much said as much in his autobiography. Admittingly he was a big liar and I would take everything he says with a great take of salt, because he liked to invent stories just to shock people, but his "gay times" (his own words) with Great Duke Dimitri are pretty much confirmed. You don't even have to read between the lines. It really springs out of the text. And he was caught wearing his mother's dresses, so even if one might doubt the bisexual part (which like I said is not really to be doubted at all) the cross-dressing thing definitely is true. Neville Longbottom 10:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

He also raped Rasputin just before shooting him. Jess Cully 15:44, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Still, crossdressing isn't inherently an LGBT activity. It's not enough to put him in that category. --Paulotronator1 (talk) 01:16, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

The whole story of Prince Felix Yusupov murdering Rasputin is a fiction. It never happened and was created and invented in order to give Felix reason to become Tzar by the British Secret Service agents disguised as Bolshevics who actually killed Rasputin whilst Prince Felix was away with friends from the Moika Palace but returned unexpectedly during the shooting and commotion of the dogs barking in the court yard that brought the local police to investigate. This is confirmed by John Brown in his book: "The Secret Accounts of the Imperial Family of Russia" as well as Prince Serge Obolenski's Memoirs: "ONE MAN IN HIS TIME" which states that: "Felix couldn't kill anything even a fly." I also have other family unpublished histories of the Yusupov family to prove this fairy tale of Felix murdering, mutilating and/or any other sexual atrocity against Rasputin total nonsense and propaganda to satisfy the world media, British government and Royal Family and international society. Unfortunately Felix promoted this fairy tale to gain notability and fame until his death in September 1968.Palukiwa (talk) 21:51, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Sounds like historical revisionism. 76.202.192.102 (talk) 22:34, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Correction - Felix died in 1967.

Timing of escape across the Black Sea

"In Crimea the family boarded a British warship, HMS Marlborough, which took them from Yalta to Malta." It's not immediately obvious that this trip must have taken place after war, after Turkey stopped fighting and presumably allowed passage through the Sea of Marmara, the Dardanelles, etc. to the Allies; the timing should be made clear. Also, it would be interesting to note which armies (Red or White) controlled the Ukraine and Crimea at the time, and whether they favored his escape or arrest. Boris B 04:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Tartar Ancestry

There needs to be an expansion of Felix' ancestry (including his Tartar background) since he mentions it in his book 'Lost Splendor' and can be vrified in other sources of the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.86.207 (talk) 06:08, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Ross and Kathryn Petras, either "776 Stupidest Things Ever Said" or "776 Even Stupider Things Ever Said"

In one of those two books, the Petras claim that a hostess once introduced Prince Yusupov as "Prince Rasputin, who killed... Who exactly did you kill, Mr. Rasputin?" Is that true? 192.12.88.7 (talk) 04:31, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

I've read that he and his wife were actually introduced as Prince and Princess Rasputin. Not sure about anything else — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.77.127.106 (talk) 15:12, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Cleanup

I've added a cleanup tag because the article doesn't flow well, could use additional information (see, for instance, Rasputin's murder), and at times is repetitive. (see, for instance the section on the film lawsuit).Shsilver (talk) 15:54, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

War service

'In February 1916 Felix began studies at the Page Corps, and tried joining a regiment in August.' Presumably this means he applied to join one or more regiments, but was rejected. Valetude (talk) 19:09, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Felix Yusupov

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Felix Yusupov's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto":

• From Paris: Yad Vashem [1]
• From France: The last sacre was that of Charles X, 29 May 1825.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 00:46, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Calendar

OK, there is an Old Style reference to his date of birth, but should I assume Old Style for other dates in here which occur before Russian change to Gregorian calendar in 1918? Carlm0404 (talk) 22:57, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
