Comments from Historians and Readers
ML,Vancouver - "A serious in-depth evaluation of it is going to take some time because it is avery large and complex work...you have collected an immense amount of detail and the book will remain a serious research tool...the segment on the fate of those who remained in Russia after the revolution is absolutely fascinating...your "Galitzine Bibliography" really interested me...it is actually a fascinating subject for a sociological, historical and intellectual study... you have created something that will last after you are gone."GIG, Dusseldorf - "I do not want to miss the opportunity to express my congratulations, appreciation and admiration for this wonderful book you all created. What a work and how much care you all put in it! It's a monument for all the Galitzines in history and gets all the offsprings connected in it. I can spend hours going through it and follow everything up. What an unusual and unique gift to the whole clan for past, present and future. Thank you and please thank everybody who was involved working on this book."ZK, Lebanon - "Sinceres felicitations pour le monument genealogique et historique...je ne peux que m'incliner devant le travail titanesque et les sacrifices ennormes que vous avez du deployer. Vous avez grace a votre acharnement et votre perseverance reussi a devoiler une fresque superbe des exploits et des vies de grands hommes qui menacaient de sombrer dans les oubliettes de l'histoire. C'est grace a un travail comme le votre et celui de l'equipe que vous avez mobilisee que les generations futures pourront mieux comprendre les realites presentes et preparer les defits a venir."TB, Germany - "I just received your book on the Princes Galitzine. It is "un fameux travail " as I was told to expect!! I especially like all of the photographs and portraits that you were able to include and the anecdotes at the ends of the chapters. I found the one about the Duchesse de Chaulnes most interesting as she figures in the book I am writing now. What a sad life. It is nice to know, however, a little about the lives of the persons one is writing about. A series of names and dates can get boring after a while. These anecdotes bring a genealogy to life. My heartiest congratulations once again on a superb work!" WADHAM COLLEGE, Oxford - "Christine and Alexandre Galitzine presented a magnificent encyclopedia of the Galitzines." MCC, Harvard, USA- I have been through your book with considerable pleasure and profit. This magnum opus comprises a truly remarkable document, not only for the contributions of your remarkable family to Russian and world culture, but it comprises an essential reference work for any Russian historian "worthy of his or her salt." It has clarified many issues in my own work, but it has of course raised as many questions as it has answered. I would, if you don’t mind, like your opinion on the following...
... I hope that this "shopping list" requesting further information about your 19th Century family will not be a chore and will not be too much of a burden to answer. Any information you could give me would be of the utmost value to my work and will be gratefully acknowledged. I look forward to hearing from you again. Congratulations on an extraordinary achievement in The Princes Galitzine, a fascinating feast of Russian history.

Translation
Astride my brave, lightning steed,
Galloping across hills and mountains,
I reach everywhere, indeed!
My youth, my carefree youth!
Where am I rushing?
Where am I flying?
Soon old age will be upon me,
I should live more wisely,
And take life more slowly...
Painter and poet,
Prince Vladimir M. Golitsyn
1901-1943
