Rectification: Danilefsky was initially officer of the St. Petersburg militia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky ). For Duka see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Duka_von_Kadar and https://books.google.de/books?id=xf5BAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA420

Danilefsky is the famous author of one of the first Russian histories of 1812 (initially officer of the Mocow militia, as far as I remember), cf. https://books.google.de/books?id=yQVSAAAAcAAJ
