Biography: born in 1901, Alexis was the son of Prince Nicholas Illarionovich Skrydloff (1844-1918), an admiral in the Imperial Fleet. After brilliant studies at the Petrograd drama school, he took singing, piano and composition lessons, before undertaking numerous concerts in all major Russian cities. After fleeing the Bolshevik revolution and settling in France, he gave his first recital at the Salle Pleyel in Paris on January 22, 1928. From then on, he was a regular participant in major song galas, concerts and musical soirées. The young prince also wrote a memoir entitled "White Russia and Red Russia", published in 1935 by Plon. After a brief film career, he abandoned music to devote himself entirely to journalism, becoming, from the beginning of the Second World War until his death, the specialist on the world of music and one of the main players in the White Russian community in Paris.
