Igor was born on June 10, 1894, and attended the
Corps des Pages, an imperial military academy in Saint Petersburg
. He enjoyed theatre.
During World War I, he was a cornet in the His Majesty's Hussar Guards Regiment. His health was quite fragile: he had pleurisy and lung complications in 1915, and even if he returned to the trenches, he couldn't walk quickly and often coughed and spat blood.
On 4 April 1918, he was exiled to the Urals by the Bolsheviks and murdered in July the same year in a mineshaftBeijing,[4] which was destroyed in 1986 and is now a parking lot.
