• Notes

  His birthday listed is the Russian Day. --- From the notes of Serge Plaoutine: Mortally wounded at the retreat at Odessa. --- Translated from: http://tsarselo.ru/yenciklopedija-carskogo-sela/istorija-carskogo-sela-v-licah/plautiny.html Mikhail Nikolaevich Plautin was born in 1895 in Tsarskoye Selo. Misha was interested in birds since childhood. From a young age, he began to collect a collection of bird eggs. A huge influence on the boy had his two grandfathers, passionately carried away by natural science. As a child, Misha and his brothers spent the winter in Tsarskoe Selo, and the summer in Tesseli in the Crimea. His mothers also belonged to the estates Sadovka and Kamenka in the Novokhopersky district of the Voronezh province. Perhaps Misha was there. In 1913, Mikhail entered the St. Petersburg Institute of Engineers of Communications of Emperor Alexander I. The following year the Great War began, which grew into the Civil War. He was not called to the front after the beginning of the war, because as a student he received a reprieve from the draft. When the Ornithological Herald published his proposal for the exchange of eggs in 1915, Mikhail Nikolayevich was only 20 years old. The noble lineage of the Plautins and the immediate service in the Tsar's entourage left no choice. The question "for whom to fight in the Civil" did not stand. The widow Maria Mikhailovna, along with her sons, left the Motherland through Odessa in 1920. As is now known, this was one of the heaviest and poorly organized and prepared evacuations of the White armies. In the end, only one in three of the total number of applicants was able to be evacuated. Mikhail Nikolaevich Plautin was mortally wounded in 1920 when Odessa left, and remained forever in his native land. He was only 25 years old! The rest of the family could successfully emigrate. The fate of the ornithological collection of Mikhail Nikolayevich Plautin remains unknown. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
