Fate under communism
Of the numerous branches of the princely noble family of Galicin that existed in 1917, only one survived in the Soviet Union; all others were destroyed or forced into exile. The Bolsheviks arrested dozens of Galizins only to be shot or killed in the gulag; another dozen disappeared in the storm of the revolution, and their fate remained unknown. Today more Galizins live in the US than in Russia.
Sergei Golitsyn (1909–1989) wrote "Memoirs of a Survivor: The Golitsyn Family in Stalin's Russia"; The book covers the period from the revolution in 1917 to the Soviet Union's entry into World War II in 1941. The fate of the Galitzin / Golizyn family is also one of the focal points of the book by the historian Douglas Smith on the fall of the Russian aristocracy during the Soviet regime.
