TheThe RussianRussian NobilityNobility Association Association TodayToday
Our Goals
The Russian Nobility Association, Inc. was formed in 1933 in order to realize two important goals: T to maintain historical truths about Russia and to provide humanitarian assistance. On the one hand, the Association’s aims are genealogical and historical. It seeks to preserve cultural memories and national truths of Russian history which, during the Communist regime, were threatened with extinction. It maintains a library of historical documents. From time to time, the Association hosts lectures in Russian history to raise funds, a portion of which is directed to educational resources. The Association’s aims are thus also philanthropic. To this end, it hosts an annual Russian Spring Ball. Organized by members of the Ball Committee of the Russian Nobility Association, the Spring Ball is the Association’s largest fund raising event of the year. This event allows the Association to realize its most important humanitarian goal: the assistance of disadvantaged persons both in and outside of Russia who need medical treatment, food and shelter.
Who Receives the Bulk of our Support? The philanthropic and charitable distributions of the RNA are and have been directed to T orphanages, scouts, old age homes, scholarships for college students, literary journals, and other needy projects, organizations and individuals. Funds are distributed both in the United States and abroad.
A Word of Thanks T he Association cannot provide volunteer and financial support for its philanthropic causes T without your help. It wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate benefactors and supporters who have given so generously of their time, services and financial resources – and who have thus made a true and tangible difference in the lives of others. Thanks go to our corporate sponsors, our loyal and generous patrons, entertainers and musicians, and of course to the hardworking members of the Ball Committee, especially the Juniors. Nobility Nobility Today AA t first glance, the idea of nobility – even the word itself – seems rather dated today. When nobility is invoked, it is usually to sell fashion magazines or Hollywood merchandise. Nobility invariably clashes with the strictures of our founding fathers who suppressed titles as incompatible with democracy. Even so, the old word, like another old word, “honor,” has an important cultural value. Americans from all walks of life are paying greater attention to their forbears; we are beginning to admire the achievements of our own and others’ ancestors. In Russia today, there is an intense interest in the direct descendants of the nobility, an interest that occasionally borders on the excessive, and includes the fabrication of titles and the assuming of historical family names. But the search for ancestors and identity and the celebration of the accomplishments of one’s predecessors reflect a legitimate and necessary commitment to the past. This commitment takes on an added urgency after 75 years of communist suppression and the liquidation of the nobility as a class (not to mention the clergy, the intellectuals and kulaks). In Russian history, the nobility, or more precisely the “service gentry” (dvoryanye) was known (the word “noble” is derived from the Latin notus – to know) for the ideal of service to the state and the community. When Peter the Great established the Table of Ranks in 1722, ennoblement was made attainable through state service. The dvoryanye were responsible for defending the state against invaders, for organizing agriculture, and for advising the Czars and their governments. Service carried a sense of honor, and was considered not just a civic duty, but a privilege. It is noteworthy that women participated in this ideal of service, demonstrating civic responsibility through charitable work. During the First World War, the daughters of Tsar Nicholas II actively assisted in the care of the sick and the wounded. In the field of culture, the Russian nobility created the Golden Age of Russian Literature and the Arts, producing Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Diaghelev, Tchaikovsky, Berdayev, Nabokov and Akhmatova. The spiritual heirs and beneficiaries of the culture of the gentry come from all walks of life. Indeed, Russia is united in its love for its literary heroes and today there is a strong movement to restore their houses and emulate their virtues. An important social and aesthetic expression of the Russian nobility was the ball. Introduced to Russia by Peter the Great, the ball was seen as a means of cultivating beauty, manners and morality, and as a way to bring people together in friendship and harmony through music and dance. In our electronic age, such public sharing of values is a rare privilege. Since the Revolution, the exiled nobility that makes up much of the “First Wave” of emigration has become self-sacrificing in exile, entering the priesthood and engaging in charitable work. When we consider the word nobility today, the ideals of service, charity, personal integrity and the importance of community come to mind. To conclude with the words of the aristocratic poet W. B. Yeats (an ideal not always lived up to but always in mind): “Yes, we desire to preserve into the modern life that ideal (of) four ancient virtues: First, honesty amongst one’s friends. Second courage amongst one’s enemies. Third, generosity amongst the weak. Fourth, courtesy at all times, whatsoever.”

In Memoriam Dr. Cyril Erastovich Geacintov (1930-2017)
Cyril Erastovich Geacintov was born in 1930 into a Russian noble family with clerical roots in the early 17th century. Dr. Geacintov’s family entered the Russian Imperial civil service, and were ultimately granted hereditary nobility. Members of his family graduated from the Imperial military schools and served as officers in the Caucasus, Crimea, and many other places.
At the time of the Revolution, the Geacintovs fled through the Crimea to Constantinople, then to Prague, and ultimately to France, where Dr. Geacintov’s father Erast Nikolaevich married Zoya Sergeevna Martynova in 1927. Their son, Cyril Erastovich was born in France in 1930. After the German Wehrmacht seized control of France during WWII, the entire family was sent to a labor camp in Germany in 1943. The Geacintov family remained in Germany until 1951, after which they emigrated to America.
From 1953-1955, Dr. Geacintov served in the US Army Corps of Engineers. In 1970, he founded DRG International, Inc, which now has offices worldwide. His first visit to Russia (Soviet Union) was in 1966. Soon afterward, he organized the first exhibition in the USSR of Western medical equipment in Moscow at Sokolniki Park. DRG International subsequently expanded its work in Russia by opening offices in St Petersburg and Moscow. In 1974, Cyril Erastovich also became US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce at the US Commerce Department and Director of the Bureau of East-West Trade. In 2001, Dr. Geacintov became President of the RNA.
During his tenure as RNA president, Dr. Geacintov stood as a forward-looking leader -- one who looked to cooperation with Russia as a goal, to the education of young Russian-Americans about their heritage and their opportunities, and who brought the Nobility Association into the digital age. His ebullient speeches at balls and RNA events were much appreciated, as were his continued exhortations to enjoy not only the pleasures of balls, but the responsibilities of membership in the RNA. This attitude was recognized beyond the borders of the RNA, and in 2011 Dr. Geacintov was recognized with the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. In Memoriam Prince Vladimir Kirillovich Galitzine (January 29, 1942 - February 22, 2018)
Prince Vladimir Galitzine was one of the Russian Emigration’s most prominent and active leaders. While he was the Russian Nobility Association’s president for barely a year, he served on our Board for over 50 years, the last several decades as Vice President. He has also been our organization’s public face, and his humor enlivened our Charity Balls for as long as most of us can remember. His and Princess Tatiana’s leadership steered this Ball directly, or more recently as advisors, for the past twenty years. Prince Vladimir dedicated a very large part of his life to that what kept our emigration Russian despite now 100 years of life outside of Russia: he was, for 42 years, the Warden of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Sign; he and Princess Tatiana spent a large part of their summers as organizers of the Russian Scouts’ Summer camps; for decades, Prince Vladimir served on the Board of the Organization of the Russian Cadet Corps outside of Russia.
Prince Vladimir was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia where his family relocated after escaping from the 1917 Russian Revolution. The family emigrated again, to New York, in 1951, after a route through Germany and the Displaced Persons’ camp in Munich. Life was very difficult for immigrants to New York after the war, but young Vladimir found scholarships and completed his education. He joined the Bank of New York in 1960, where one of his co-workers was Tatiana Vladimirovna Kazimirova, whom he married in 1963. In 1990, he was appointed to head the Bank of New York’s new Eastern European Department, arriving in Russia for the first time in that capacity. He described these early stages of opening the Russian market to the US banking industry as the most challenging and satisfying time in his professional life. His experience there allowed him to continue guiding the selected charity and educational work that the Russian Nobility Association and the Orthodox Church have engaged in in Russia since that time.
