Biography
Vladimir Sergeevich Khitrovo, born in 1891, graduated from the Pazheskii korpus in 1910 and participated in World War I. During
the Civil War in 1918 he enlisted in the White Army, serving as an officer in General Lev N. Kirpichev's Kievskaia dobrovol'cheskaia
druzhina; the following year he transferred to the Svodno-gvardeiskii polk Vooruzhennykh sil iuga Rossii. Having been evacuated
from Novorossiisk, Khitrovo became chief of the Russian press bureau in Constantinople and subsequently immigrated to France.
He was active in the alumni association of the Pazheskii korpus and the Soiuz pazhei. He was a contributor to the journal
Voennaia byl' and authored an unpublished memoir of World War I, "Vospominaniia i materialy dlia istorii. Leib-gvardii konnaia
artilleriia. Chast' II-aia. Voina 1914-1917. Pokhod v vostochnuiu Prussiiu."
Born in Stanitsa Piatiizbianskaia, Russia, on September 10, 1878,to a traditional Cossack family, he embarked on a military
career, graduating from the Donskoi kadetskii korpus in 1896 and the Mikhailovskoe artilleriiskoe uchilishche in 1898. He
served in the Twenty-first Don Cossack battery and completed the Nikolaevskaia akademiia general'nogo shtaba in 1908. In 1918,

officer of the Don Cossack Army.

Scope and Content of Collection
These papers contain the correspondence and writings of Vladimir Sergeevich Khitrovo, a graduate of the Pazheskii korpus and
participant of World War I and member of the White Army. In emigration, Khitrovo was active in the alumni association of the
Pazheskii korpus, the Soiuz pazhei, which is reflected in a number of organizational files of this association, including
bylaws, correspondence, and lists of members within the Subject file. Of particular interest is Khitrovo's unpublished memoir
of World War I, "Vospominaniia i materialy dlia istorii. Leib-gvardii konnaia artilleriia. Chast' II-aia. Voina 1914-1917.
Pokhod v vostochnuiu Prussiiu," which include numerous original photographs.
