  Galitzine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His great grandson Prince Vasily Galitzine (+1619) was active during the Time of Troubles and went as an ambassador to Poland to offer the Russian crown to Prince Wladislaw.
Galitzine was a typical representative of Russian society of the end of the 17th century leaning towards Westernism.
Galitzine was left in peace, however, and lived for the most part in retirement, till 1736, when he was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the conspiracy of his son-in-law Prince Constantine Cantimir.

The center manages to collect some $70,000-$80,000 annually from private investors in Russia and the overseas diaspora to invest in the restoration of churches mostly located in the areas of Tver, Vladimir, Kaluga, Ivanovo and Saratov – which are often unattractive to investors because of their distance from the capital.
Galitzine and his 11 colleagues have helped 32 churches, often limiting their donations to a modest sum that allows a church to cover its roof with ruberoid, a composite bitumen sheet for roofing, to save the building and interior frescoes from rain and snow.
Galitzine is against gilding churches in cash-strapped Russia, but insists on conservation of historic churches that would otherwise fall apart.
