Three life stories: Mircea Mitroi, Babushka and Radion Chiaburu

“Life story of Radion Chiaburu” (2014)

READ THE BOOK.

Book description: “Aged 93, Radion Chiaburu (b. 10 April 1920) well remembers the moment when, as a child born in Bessarabia, he was taken from his homeland to Bucharest (the country’s capital), to study at the royal school in the class of Prince Heir Mihai of Romania (King between 1940-1948). This moment changed his whole destinity…. Recalling his past, Mr. Chiaburu considers that it saved him, because due to being classmate with the King he was aided by His Majesty to bring his family from the Soviet-occupied Bessarabia to Romania, where they lived on the Royal Domains. Pilot during World War II and maybe the finest expert in the industry of wood packages after the 50s, Mr. Chiaburu lived a life worth to be known. The book also gives an insight into Monarchy and Royalty, showing one of its advantages: the future King is grown and educated to be a Monarch.” 

“Babushka”

Babushka. Life story of Maria Mitroi, née Covaliov – PDF. format

I think that the memoirs of my grandmother, Maria Mitroi, are interesting in a way that would span outside the coutry for at least four reasons:

–    it tells the story of two Russian families (Pavlov and Covaliov) whose destines were united at Tulcea;

–    it tells the story of a girl born of Russian blood, but Romanian by everything else, who became fatherless in 1942 during World War II;

–    it tells the story of a wife whose husband was imprisonied by the totalitarian Communist regime, with all their properties taken and no money left to take care of her children and mother;

–    finally, it tells the story of a lovely grandmother who is aged today 82;

Life Story of Radion Chiaburu – PDF. format

This book contains the memories of Radion Chiaburu (b. 10 April 1920), from his childhood in Bessarabia to the royal school in the class of Prince Mihai to World War II and the communist period to his old age.

“I think that the memoirs of Mr. Radion Chiaburu are interesting in a way that would span outside the coutry because it shows an amazing destiny, telling the story of a Romanian peasant from Bessarabia who, for his qualities (intelligence and virtue), was selected in the royal class of Prince Heir Mihai of Romania at Bucharest. This moment of his biography strongly affected his ulterior life.

By translating this book we also tried to put Monarchy in a different light for those not having the tradition of Royality*, showing one of its advantages: that the future King is grown and educated to be Monarch.”

* Romania was a Kingdom between 1866 and 1948. The Republic was created by Soviets, the communist regime falling in 1989. Despite Romania remained a republic after 1990, there are some (including us) that consider restoring Royalty would be legitimate and in the benefit of the country.

“I think that the memoirs of my grandfather, Mircea Mitroi (b. 29 December 1916 – d. 3 January 2012), are interesting in a way that would span outside the coutry for at least four reasons:

• it tells the story of a Romanian peasant who got, through education, from the village to the city, becoming an accountant;

• if tells the story of a War veteran who fough againt Nazi Germany (1944-45) in the Tatra mountains and saved a shoe factory from being ransacked by his own battalion;

• if tells the story of a husband and father imprisoned by the totalitarian Communist regime for no other reason than being against the soviet dictatorship;

• finally, it tells the story of a lovely grandfather who lived his life if a very balanced way, living 95 years;”
