He was a grandson of Emperor Alexander III of Russia and his consort, Empress Maria Fyodorovna of Russia (born Princess Dagmar of Denmark).

During the Russian Revolution Prince Nikita was imprisoned along with his parents and grandmother the Dowager Empress at Dulber, in the Crimea. He escaped from Russia on 11 April 1918 with the help of his great aunt Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom (née Princess Alexandra of Denmark), Dowager Empress Maria’s sister.
