Alexeï Georgievitch, Count d'Horrer, and his children

Third child and second son of Count Georges d'Horrer and Olga Delarue, Alexei was born on January 15, 1909 in the family property of Lichtsiany, in Lithuania. After the same childhood as his brothers and sisters, he had to, like his brother Evgueni, go to T.O. (kind of forced labor: see note) from 1932 to 1934, but while Evgeny spent the rest of his life there, Alexei could return to his family, in Gorno-Altaïsk (Siberia), after his civil rights had been restored. He spent these last years in Pshada, near Krasnodar (not far from the Black Sea) with his second-bedded children.

In 1935, he married Alexandra Nicolaievna RAGOZINA¹, a noble cousin on the Delarue family, professor of Art History, author of memoirs. They had a son, Georges Alexeievitch (1936), who follows below, and a daughter, Irina, who only lived for one year. In 1941 he was mobilised. He fought in the Caucasus in 1942–43 and was wounded. Once he had recovered, he served in the intelligence service and then as a tank crewman. He was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War and the medals "For Courage", "For Military Merit", "For the Defence of the Caucasus", "For the Victory over Germany" and others. (DOC 29 : Letter from Alexeï Georgievitch d'Horrer to his wife) in 1942, and a Letter from the front of Alexeï d'Horrer facing the Germans, traduction). Wounded again in 1944, he was released from his military obligations following a concussion.

He divorced in 1945 and remarried in 1948 with Tatiana Ageievna OUSSATAYA and had three other children, who will follow: Olga (1951), Evgueni (1953) and Alla (1955). Furthermore, he adopted the son of his wife’s first marriage, Nicolaï, who was 25 years old and took the name d'Horrer². These four children constitute the "branch of Krasnodar", with whom their half-brother Georges d'Horrer (below) had lost all contact. In October 1994, we wrote to each other (DOC-35 : Letter from Georges d'Horrer), and they sent me several pages of information about their family.

Like all the children of Georges Iossifovitch d'Horrer, as an aristocrat Alexei did not have the right to study, therefore to specialize ; therefore, he had to settle for a work in a state farm. But as he had received a careful education, he wrote novels. During the war, he was captured by the Germans, then released. He received several medals, including 'the Order of the Red Star'. After the war, as the Soviet Archives had been destroyed in Kharkov by the Germans, Alexei was able to work as an engineer and technician in a sovkhose.
He spent the last years of his life in the village of Pshada, near Krasnodar (Russian Caucasus), near the Black Sea, which remained the family home. Very sick, he died there on August 8, 1988, as a result of the concussion he had suffered during the war.

As I said, he had two children from his first marriage, Georges and Irina.

Georges Alexeievitch d'Horrer and his family

1° Georges Alexeievitch, Count d'HORRER.

Born on March 16, 1936, Georges Alexeievitch d'Horrer is in fact the head of the family of all contemporary d'Horrer. Graduated in 1960 from the Leningrad Institute of Naval Construction, doctor in Technical and Mathematical Sciences, engineer in forest fire dynamics, he was, in our last letter exchange, head of the Department of the State Technological Academy of Krasnoyarsk (Siberia) and professor in the computer science department. He is now retired . (Note about his studies ans his professional career).
He invited me several times to their family home in Pshada, on the Black Sea, where they go every summer, but I declined their invitation because of the language. I sent them the booklet on family history that I had written in the 90s. Georges even wanted to send me money to allow me to have it translated into Russian! But I sent them the link to this site, and the automatic translation allowed them to understand everything.

He first married Valentina CHOURIKINA (born in 1942) and had two children:
