The History of the Butovi Family (1915–Present)
The Origins of (Name) Butovi
(Name) Butovi was born in Russia in the late 19th century and became a prominent figure both in business and military circles. As a successful businessman, he owned multiple pharmacies and earned a reputation for his entrepreneurial skills. His influence extended beyond commerce, as he held a high-ranking position in the military and formed an association with Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov, the last Tsar of Russia. This connection to the Romanovs placed (Name) Butovi among the elite of Russian society before the dramatic shift brought by the Russian Revolution.
Fleeing Russia After the Revolution
In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and the tragic execution of the Tsar and his family, the political climate in Russia grew increasingly dangerous for those associated with the old regime. Realising the imminent danger to himself and his family, (Name) Butovi made the courageous decision to flee the country. Leaving behind his wealth and status, he took his wife and two young children—Alexander Butovi, aged 3, and Nazara Butovi, aged 7—on the first available train out of Russia. The family eventually settled in Georgia, where they would build a new life away from the upheaval in their homeland.
The Impact of World War II
Tragedy struck the Butovi family again during World War II. Nazara Butovi, the eldest son, died fighting in the war, leaving behind a legacy of courage and sacrifice. His death marked a somber chapter in the family’s history.
The Butovi Legacy in Georgia
Despite the loss of Nazara, Alexander Butovi carried on the family name and went on to have three children of his own in Georgia. The Butovi descendants have continued to live in Georgia to this day, upholding the family’s legacy of resilience in the face of adversity. Though the family’s roots are deeply tied to Russia, their Georgian chapter has shaped the modern-day Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov family, who remain a part of Georgia’s rich cultural tapestry.
