Gregori Nikitin

Count Gregori Nikitin was a Russian landowner who hired the First Doctor as his son's tutor and Dodo Chaplet as his daughter's companion.

With the threat of French invasion, the Count sent thirty of his serfs to the local regiment and suggested that Steven Taylor go too. He planned to head to Moscow with his family after they were accused of being French spies, but the Doctor advised that they stay for their own safety. (AUDIO: Mother Russia)
