Life

Feodor Remez (Feodor Semyonovich Remez, 1878 to 1918) was the secretary and business manager of Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich, and he died with him at Alapayevsk in the night of 17 to 18 July 1918.

When the grand duke was sent into exile in April 1918, Remez followed him. They went together through Vyatka and Yekaterinburg to Alapayevsk, where he shared a room with the grand duke and Prince Vladimir Paley. He was thrown into the mine shaft with the other prisoners. His body was the first to be brought out of the mine, on 21 October 1918.

The Russian Church Outside Russia canonized in 1981 those killed at Alapayevsk, except him. Feodor Remez has therefore not been canonized; he appears here as the faithful companion of the grand duke and as a victim of the same crime.
