Nicholas (George) Mavrocordato

Notes:

Residence: 1948, Sibiu, Transylvania, his mother's place of origin, according to historian Lucian-Valeriu Lefter.

Died:
Said to have died in Paris, where he was working as a teacher, in a poor social state (Vitaliy Sochalov).

Notes:

Acting on his mother's behalf, George arranged for the sale of the family estate Casa Mavrocordat to the Ministry of Defense, Romania, for around 1934 for 1,500,000 lei.

"After his father's death (1939), George became the administrator of Vaslui estate, while his mother established in southern France, in Nice. In 1948, after communism had been installed in Romania, George, already divorced from his wife, intended to go in France, to his mother. The authorities didn't allow him to leave Romania, on the basis of the reason described within the report on George Mavrocordat made in that year by a Security agent, who wrote 'we have to be vigilant and don't facilitate the leaving abroad of a person capable to make connections between the opponents of the regime in the country and the ones abroad' (National Archives in Vaslui, Vaslui Security Service collection, file 6/1948, pages 126-128). George never left the country, worked as a worker in his own brick factory which had been confiscated in 1948, and died in the winter of 1963, poor and alone, buried in Eternitatea cemetery in Vaslui without a funeral stone, because Mavrocordat family has no funeral crypt in Vaslui; that is why his burial place is lost." Lucian-Valeriu Lefter, in correspondence to Vitaliy Sochalov, 1 Apr 2015.
