This mausoleum in Thompson, CT might look rather mundane, but one of the people interred within was quite the opposite.


Anastase Andreivitch Vonsiatski was Russian Pole who fled during the Bolshevik Revolution. He claimed to be a Russian Count, and while his ancestor did have land granted to him by the Romanovs, he was not a member of the nobility. Vonsiatsky’s second wife was an American heiress, and he married her before getting a divorce from his first wife. In the US he was a member of the All Russian Fascist Party, and was a known Nazi sympathizer. He died in Florida in 1965, and is interred here with his last two wives.
