DIED. Grand Duke Vladimir Romanov, 74, successor to the
vanquished Russian throne; of a heart attack; in Miami. Romanov
was born in exile in Finland in 1917 after Czar Nicholas II was
forced to abdicate during the Bolshevik Revolution. Last
November, Romanov, who lived in Paris, made his first visit to
his ancestral homeland. In his final public statement, he
expressed a hope that "the youth of Russia, who have suffered
so long under the yoke of communism, will return to the
monarchy." Romanov's heir as head of the Russian imperial family
is his only child, Grand Duchess Maria, 38, a graduate of Oxford
University who lives in Madrid.
