Yes it’s my own post, it’s Josef Hutstein‘s post.
Me, graduated and awarded german Dipl-Ing. (FH) and Dipl-Wirtschaftsing (FH), was working for about 14 years in Russia and about 10 years in Munich, Germany. Close business relations to governmental customers in India, China and mainly Russia had been my fate, often doing business with the respective governmental organizations as e.g. their national banks, secret services, military or national railway organizations etc.
It already started during my studies when I was working for a NATO study group which followed me later on to my new work place at Siemens AG and when I became the planning guy for a secret network of all German embassies worldwide.
At the age of 50 a heart disease was diagnosed, the hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
After an already signed contract with our China office was cancelled I went to Russia and it became my home where I met my wife Lilia, a member of russian aristocrat family Zybin from southwestern Russia, which was one of the aristocrat families who were sent to Kyrgyz republic by Tsar Peter the Great to overlook and integrate new lands into the russian empire.
Always felt good and cosy in Moscow.
A part of my own family tree, which actually covers 60K persons and up to 13 generations:
Just a quick sidestep since we mentioned the Russian aristocratic family Zybin, a Russian noble family, which, according to the legends of ancient genealogies, descended from the Prussian-born Andrei Zyba, who moved to Veliky Novgorod in the second half of the 14th century.
Notably that the Zybins are mentioned by famous writer Pushkin in one of his essays to be close to tsar Ekaterina the Great and by L. Tolstoi.

Franz Hutstein from Unterthannet took part in WWI at the western German front from the beginning. He got wounded 11.11.1914 and on 03.08.1916 captured by the French, fortunately ! He was at the killing fields of Verdun and during the battle at Fort Vaux where thousands of soldiers lost their life in vain. He was released after 4 years of captivity and came home in 1920.
Nevertheless, one of Franz Xaver’s hands stayed disabled after the war, that’s why he was not called to arms during World War II.
Together with his wife Katharina he had three children: Franz Xaver, Josef and Katharina.
