Georgy Gruzinsky


Prince Georgy Aleksandrovich Gruzinsky was a Russian nobleman of royal Georgian descent. An influential landowner and official in Nizhny Novgorod, he was known for his authoritarian rule over his estates as well as charity. During the Napoleons invasion of Russia in 1812, he raised a local militia force to fight the French.

Prince Georgy Gruzinsky was born into the family of Alexander Gruzinsky of the House of Mukhrani, claimant to the throne of Georgia, and his wife Daria Menshikova. Georgy was, thus, grandson of Bakar of Kartli and greatgrandson of King Vakhtang VI of Kartli on his fathers side and greatgrandson of the Russian statesman Aleksandr Menshikov on his mothers side.
