:( such sad news.... I have always loved it when I am reading older forums that haven't been active in a while and I see his comments- they are normally my favorites!

I wonder how Boris got so interested in Swedish royals as an American and how he know so much about Bernadotte jewelry.

So sorry to hear of his passing. He will be missed here on the Forums.

I had no idea that the Boris who posted here (and with that avatar) was the Boris whose passing was mentioned on another Royal board. Very sad news.

I was surprised to hear this, I enjoyed reading his posts in the Royal Jewels sub forum. I'm sure he'll be missed, particularly in the jewellery threads.

Rest in peace, Boris.

Very sad news.
I've been missing him for a while. I thought it was strange he wasn't posting when Princess Madeleines got married...
He always shared his great knowledge and valuable aspects in a nice way.
Rest in peace, Boris.

His avatar was indeed Greta Garbo, AND it was Greta Garbo from the movie "Queen Christina" from 1933, a movie that told the story (Ok, hollywood version ) of the Swedish queen Kristina ( queen in her own right 1632-1654) His avatar was from the final scene, when she is standing on the ship leaving Sweden

Perhaps he was of Swedish descent? Boris was not an unusual name when I grew up in Sweden.

Very sad news to hear of Boris's passing, his posts on these forums and other forums were always helpful. He will be sadly missed by so many. And he was a gentleman.

I'm so sad to hear this- his posts very much contributed to my love of royal jewelry and I appreciated learning from his expertise.

Condolences to his family.

It's a sad loss indeed. I will miss his posts and his Greta avi very much! Rest in peace, Boris!

Still missing Boris and his wonderful posts. A lovely gesture by some of his friends.
