About the Book

An autobiographical reference book about the life and times of Vladimir Vladimirovitch Mouravieff-Apostol-Korobyine, a Russian Nobleman and Diplomat who lived from 1864 to 1937. His great uncle was the last Decembrists and his paternal side can be traced directly to Ghengis Kahn. His postings prior to the Great War in places like Berlin, Serbia and Budapest provide interesting insights to these turbulent times.
About the Author: Nicholas Mouravieff-Apostol is the Grandson of Vladimir.. He was born in London, England in 1947 and attended St. Paul's School in Concord, NH and St. Luke's School in New Canaan, Ct. He continued his undergraduate studies in Political Science at the University of Nebraska and did follow-on courses in Business Administration at the City College of Chicago. He served in the US Air Force during the Vietnam conflict earning several awards including a Commendation Medal for Meritorious Service. As an entrepreneur he was an early pioneer in personal computing and the development of the handheld calculator. Later, he was recognized for being an early developer of the Commuter Airline industry and more recently founded several companies and a Foundation which made significant contributions to the recycling of waste plastics and vehicle tires. During the mid-eighties, he went to El Salvador for the Arthur Young accounting firm and headed up numerous development projects. He later served USAID in developing and controlling the billion dollar cash transfer programs which would later be adopted as a model for worldwide use. In 1986, at the request of then President Duarte, he organized the recovery operation following the devastating earthquake. During the final few years of the war there, he served as senior executive advisor to the President in coordinating the peace initiatives. One of his proudest achievements was a program he founded to help those who lost limbs from landmines. Today he lives in Florida with his wife, the former Jeannette Byington on their ranch where she operates a Foundation dedicated to rescuing Macaws. This multilingual, Renaissance man is a licensed commercial pilot, and has published many newspaper articles, a number of poems and several books. Currently, he is writing about his very distinctive family history
