Date of photo

[edit]

The photo is dated to approximately 1929 but according to the article on N. I. Konrad, he adopted Nevsky's daughter Yelena after Nevsky's execution, when she was two years old, which puts her birth around 1935. Either the photo is more recent than 1929 or Yelena was older than two when her parents were executed.Bill (talk) 07:28, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yelena was born in 1928 and died in 2017. Her mother, Mantani Isoko, came to the Soviet Union with their daughter in 1933, to join Nikolai who had left Japan in 1929. The photo in the article must have been taken in Japan before Nikolai left in 1929, perhaps as a farewell picture. You can see a family picture of the Nevsky family taken in Russia where Yelena looks to be 8 or 9 years old. BabelStone (talk) 23:51, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
