(Russian: князь Виктор Викторович Кочубей) Kotchoubey
-Fought in the WWI.
-1917 - Worked for the Russian Imperial Government, and stationed in Paris France
-1918 - Left post, moved to USA
-1919 - Returned to Paris
-1923 - Helped with Russian Emigrants to find employment in France.
-1925 - Started a Furniture Factory in Suraine France.
-1937 - Moved to USA. Opened up a Russian Children's Summer camp in NYS.
Sadly, the meetings between cousins was short lived. Andrei Sergeievitch remembers meeting his uncle Victor and his wife Kyra Nikolaievna only once at the the wedding of Count Alexei Mussin-Pushkin (Born: Pöbring, 09.07.1922, Died: Long Island, NY 26.08.1982 and son of Countess Ekaterina Vassilievna Mussin-Pushkin (née Kotschoubey) and Marina Voytsekovsky (they were later divorced).
It proved to be the last time that the Sergei and his son Andrei would see their cousin/uncle Victor as he passed away shortly after their cousin's wedding in Ipswitch, MA on November 20, 1953 at the home of Victor's first cousin, Prince Sergei Sergeivich Belosselsky-Belozersky / князь Сергей Сергеевич Белосельский-Белозерский (1895-1978) and his wife the former Miss Florence Crane. It was perhaps a fitting place to die for a Russian Prince who was born in grandeur and ultimately died in the grandeur of the Crane family home, Castle Hill (see: Only a few years before he had been to his ancestral home, Dikanka in the uniform of a US Army Air Corp soldier. Ironic perhaps that his final visit home was in the uniform of his newly adopted country where he lived half a world away. By that point Dikanka and the Kotchoubey world was in ruins and this lost world would never exist again.
He is buried in the Russian Cemetery in Mahopac, NY not far from his Croton Heights Inn. More importantly, Prince Victor was laid to rest on land that was originally the estate of his cousin, Prince Sergei who together with his wife Florence (Russian name: Svetlana) donated the property to the Holy Synod (ROCOR) in 1949 upon hearing that both the Synod and the Miraculous Icon of Kursk would be transferring to the USA. Sergei and his wife viewed their estate in Mahopac as a residence for the church in exile
