There is incorrect spelling of names in English version of this article. Russian nobility and officers in the Life Guards of His Majesty could only be formally named in official language of the Empire - Russian, therefore such names should be transliterated from Russian into English. Ukrainian spelling is nonsense and is inappropriate there. The name of General Grekow should be identical to the name on his tombstone: Alexander Grekow. His father's full name should be spelt Petr Gavriilovich Grekow, mother's name - Maria Grigorievna as they were Russians, not Ukrainians.
