13. There is an interesting story connected with his family name. His father was an illegitimate son of Kozlova – lady-in-waiting to Imperatritsa Alexandra Fy- odorovna (Nicholas I’s wife). Being pregnant with an illegitimate child, Kozlova left the court and went to Odessa. She established Mikhailovsky convent there, and she lived near it. Her son had the name of Kozlov during his studies, however, his di- ploma already had the name of Ligin. The name was invented by his mother based on a Latin word nihil (nobody’s) read from the end to the front. Our Ligin was no- torious for persecution of Germans in the Kingdom before the outbreak of the First World War. As it was reported by Wrangel in his memoirs, ”Немало позабавил меня и келецкий губернатор - тип ”начальника губернии” почти опереточ- ного характера. ”Зорко наблюдая за порядком” (которого не было), он тоже хотел показать свое участие в деле. В толпе стонущих и рыдающих калек, – какой-то безногий почему-то обратил его внимание. – ”Где жандарм, позвать сюда жандарма”, – заорал губернатор. Жандарм вырастает перед ним. – ”По- чему этот раненый сидит на земле? – подать ему камень!”” 14. Died after 1917. 15.
