“We don’t need anything but personal belongings. Of course, there are people who found the treasure, there is Russia, but there are also two Natalies who are direct descendants of the Naryshkin family, ”said 84-year-old Natalie Naryshkina, who lives in Paris, in an interview with the VIEW newspaper, commenting on her intention to fight for the treasure, to split it in half with his niece.

On Wednesday, a source in the presidential administration of Russia announced the intention of the state to transfer the Naryshkin treasure to the Konstantinovsky Palace in Strelna. Experts are now working on the find.

As the VZGLYAD newspaper reported, at the end of March, in the St. Petersburg mansion of the 18th century - the house of the Trubetskoy (Naryshkins) - between the ceilings of the first and second floors of the courtyard outbuilding, a small immured room was found, not indicated on the plans of the house. It contained dozens of bags with thousands of items, in particular, with silver utensils, decorated with the coats of arms of the Naryshkins. Artifacts are well preserved. They were wrapped in paper and newspapers dated March, June and September 1917 - probably the owners left the house between the February and October revolutions.

A St. Petersburg lawyer by the name of Fedorov-Naryshkin has already announced claims to the treasure, who also ranked State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin among his relatives. But the chairman of the lower house of parliament himself assured that he had no direct relation to either the noble family, or, accordingly, to the treasures found.

Meanwhile, there is a direct heir to the treasures, living in Paris, Natalie Naryshkina, who intends to return the family heirlooms to herself and the descendants of the owner of the mansion. Ms. Naryshkina shared her vision of the situation with the VZGLYAD newspaper and told the story of the family.

SIGHT: Natalya Lvovna, please tell us who you are to those Naryshkins in whose mansion the treasure was found?

Natalia Naryshkina: The house (in which the treasure was found) belonged to the princes Naryshkin, or rather my great-grandfather, Vasily Naryshkin. He had four children. Of these, three sons, one of whom, Cyril, was the father of my father, Leo (Leon).

At the beginning of the revolution, in 1917, the whole family left Russia. The owner of the house - Vasily Naryshkin - died in France, in Aix-les-Bains. The second son of Vasily - Alexander - a little later went to St. Petersburg. He was going to pick up some paintings there that belonged to our family and were abandoned during the flight, but he was captured and shot by Soviet Chekists. He was not married and had no children. Therefore, the branch of the Naryshkins continued only along the line of Cyril. Family ties are not easy, but I really am the direct heiress of the person who owned the house.

The branch (of the Naryshkins) to which I belong is the only one. And I am the last to bear this surname: I am not married, I have no children and I am no longer young, I am 84 years old, therefore, with my death, the line of direct descendants of the princes Naryshkins will end. But in fact, there are two heirs of the found treasures - me and my niece, also Natalie, which complicates the situation a little. The fact is that my grandfather Kirill Naryshkin had two children: my father Leon and my aunt Irina, who was born much later. Thus, Natalia is the daughter of Irina, now she is 46 years old. She lives in Geneva. It turns out that we are the last direct heirs, and I am the only Naryshkina. And, of course, the two of us are going to claim the treasure from the mansion.

SIGHT: How and from whom did you learn about the discovery and what did you feel at that moment?

N.N.: Like everyone else, I probably learned about it from the newspaper - Le Parisien. And I was absolutely shocked. This news was a blow to the head, no one expected this. Finding something that belonged to your family so long ago, learning about it at an advanced age - it really stunned me. And a little later, in a conversation about the find with the Chairman of the State Duma, Sergei Naryshkin, I learned more about it. Then I turned to the Russian Ambassador to France Alexander Orlov and asked for help, because the situation is complicated by the fact that I do not speak Russian.

SIGHT: And who is the current speaker of the State Duma Naryshkin to you?

N.N.: You know, in Paris, as well as throughout the world, there are indeed many Naryshkins. After all, this is a whole noble family, whose descendants are scattered all over the world. Sergey Naryshkin is indeed my distant relative, the first time we met him many years ago in St. Petersburg, when Anatoly Sobchak was the mayor of the city. Now I and his family are connected by a warm friendship. But there is only one branch of the heirs of the St. Petersburg treasure, and Natalie and I represent it.

SIGHT: Did the family have any legends about the treasure in St. Petersburg, or was the find a complete surprise for you?

N.N.: Unfortunately, everyone who could discuss the treasures is long dead and I never heard anything about them. Of course, I knew that during the years of the revolution my ancestors left their property in Russia, but we were always sure that the Bolsheviks appropriated everything for themselves. And they lived on the principle of "what is gone, that can not be returned." That is why the find was a surprise not only for the whole world, but also for the Naryshkins.

SIGHT: Do you have information about who, when and from whom could hide these things in the newspapers of the revolutionary 1917?

N.N.: I don't think servants could hide them. Unfortunately, I do not know anything except that among the papers in which the valuables were wrapped were documents signed by Colonel Somov, my uncle, who was married to Natalya Naryshkina, the youngest daughter of the owner of the house. In my opinion, this is how it was, and everything converges. Everyone left Russia in 1917 for Finland, they did not regret what they left behind and tried not to remember.

SIGHT: Do you have any relics from that time?

N.N.: My grandmother had a house in Biarritz. I remember that there were several paintings, some other objects that reminded me of the past. But you usually flee the country light, so you can say that very little has remained since that time.

SIGHT: Are you really going to claim the treasure or some part of it (say, personal documents of relatives)?

N.N.: Undoubtedly. But it is too early to talk about how we will do it, because everything happened so quickly. And then, to receive an inheritance that has survived such difficult times and is located on the territory of another country is not the same as drinking a cup of coffee. But we, of course, will apply for receipt. Understand, this is not a house or real estate - all this has been confiscated for a very long time. But now we are talking about personal things of my family.

SIGHT: Are there any legal grounds for your claims to the treasure?

N.N.: Well, of course! As times we something and have on him full right! It's too early to say anything - it's only been a little over a week. But we are confident that we will return these things to our family and will do everything to ensure that our right to property is respected.

SIGHT: How much do you value the items found?

N.N.: I don't have any idea. First of all, it is very difficult to say something from the photographs. I saw them, but in passing, just like you, and I have absolutely no idea of ​​their real value. Although for me it is not so much their price that is important, but the fact that things belong to my family.

SIGHT: How do you intend to use them if they fall into your hands?

N.N.: I don’t even know how to answer this question: first you need to get them. And then I'll decide what to do with them. We often arrange receptions, so perhaps I would set them aside for myself. Perhaps I would donate some to the museum, some to the Russian Orthodox Church here in Paris. But so far, I can't say for sure. If the treasure remains in Russia, I would prefer that it be in a museum. Unfortunately, in this case, I will not see him, because I can no longer walk. But Natalie will certainly go to Russia, and I think she would also like to see family things in the museum.

SIGHT: If you do get the treasure, how are you going to share it with Natalie?

N.N.: We are both rightful heirs. Therefore, of course, in half. To be honest, we didn't even discuss it or think about it. We are currently on the phone, and so when we called after the sensation, we had a lot of details to discuss, but not at all how we would share it after. This is not a pie.

SIGHT: Recently, a press conference was held in St. Petersburg with the participation of the president of the Baltic Bar Association, Yuri Novolodsky. He confidently stated that the decree of the Soviet government of November 19, 1920 “On the confiscation of all movable property of citizens who fled the republic, no matter what it is and wherever it is,” is still in force. Thus, in his opinion, the found treasures belong to the state and the descendants of those who hid them before the revolution do not claim them at all. By subsequent legal acts, the state established that the finders of the treasure and the owners of the building can receive 50% of the value of the treasure (25% each). But, again, there is no question of descendants and heirs at all. How can you comment on the situation?

N.N.: I have some thoughts on this, but I would not like to express them. I think that everything will be resolved. There is something to argue about here.

“We are confident that we will return these things to our family and will do everything to ensure that our right to property is respected”

SIGHT: The representative of the Association of Members of the Romanov House in Russia, Ivan Artsishevsky, confirmed Novolodsky’s words and explained that he was looking for heirs not to give them valuables, but rather to establish the truth, to understand whether the Naryshkins had direct descendants. According to him, they are not.

N.N.: I already read it. What can I say? He was wrong - and this is obvious. At this age, I have no reason to lie and pretend to be an heiress. I just know who my great-grandfather was and what family I come from.

SIGHT: Experts say that if the treasure or part of it is given to the descendants, the question of restitution will be raised in Russia, that is, the return of property lost by people before the revolution. And this issue can be extremely painful for the country. What do you think of it? And claiming the treasure, do you claim the mansion where it was found?

N.N.: I believe that each such case should be discussed individually. And especially not to throw words into the air, as Mr. Artsishevsky did, saying that there are no direct descendants of the Naryshkins. I think that no “painful” situation will develop, everything just needs to be specifically discussed. I am proud to be Russian, and I know that there are many more problems in Russia that have nothing to do with restitution, but I believe that over time everything will fall into place.

By the way, we are not going to apply for a house, because if you apply for this one, you can easily apply for others: the Naryshkins owned many houses in St. Petersburg. Don't exaggerate, we don't need much. We don't need anything but personal belongings. Of course, there are people who found the treasure, there is Russia, but there are also two Natalies who are direct descendants of the Naryshkin family.

SIGHT: Perhaps this treasure could be passed on to descendants as an exception, a gesture of goodwill. But for this, the Naryshkins would probably have to ask for it themselves, write letters to the president, and so on. Are you ready for this?

N.N.: Yes, of course, we understand the complexity of the situation, and, moreover, we are really ready to turn to the Russian authorities. I have great respect for Mr. Putin, for example. I see no reason not to fight for property: we want to get back what is ours. The house has other owners, but it has something that should return to us.

SIGHT: You have probably heard that the migrant workers from Tajikistan first tried to steal the treasure, and they almost managed to do it. What did you feel when you heard about it?

N.N.: I have nothing to say to that. They steal everything and everywhere, and in Paris too. Anyone would probably try to steal what they found. I cannot judge these people, I can only say that I am very pleased that now valuable things are in the reliable hands of experts.

SIGHT: What do you actually have left of the nobility?

N.N.: We do not choose our parents and our origins. And I do not think that noble origin determines the personal qualities of a person. I can say that I am very attached to Russia, I am interested in culture and traditions, and I really regret that I was not taught the Russian language.

1.1.1.4.5.4.1.2. Kirill Alexandrovich(August 17, 1786 - October 25, 1838, Crimea) - chief marshal of the court of Nicholas I, member of the state council and chief chamberlain, real privy councillor. He was married to Princess M. Ya. Lobanova-Rostovskaya (1789-1854)

Pietro de Rossi. Kirill Alexandrovich Naryshkin (1786-1838) (1800s)

Born into the family of a chief chamberlain and Maria Alekseevna Senyavina. He received a good upbringing in the well-known boarding school of the Jesuits, Abbé Nicolas. In 1805, with the rank of gentleman of the chamber, he went to China as part of an extraordinary embassy, ​​headed by a close relative of the Naryshkins, Chief of Ceremonies Count Yu. A. Golovkin. About this trip . S. Vorontsov wrote:

Kirill is among them, and I'm glad he's coming; because perhaps he will do something, and he will be good, but here he is playing and spending his time in perfect idleness.

P. Rossi. Kirill Alexandrovich Naryshkin. (mid-1810s, Podstanitsky Collection)

Returning to St. Petersburg, he made his entire career at court. At one time he was considered one of the brilliant representatives of the young court party, being a legislator of the latest trends and the highest tone in St. Petersburg society. Another member of Golovkin's embassy, ​​F. F. Vigel, recalled:

Kirill Alexandrovich ... was notable for the fact that two opposite characters of his parents merged and mixed in him: he combined the Naryshkin nobility, luxury and even playfulness, along with a sharp temper, noble feelings, frugality and aristocratic pride of his mother Marya Alekseevna.

Since 1822 he was an honorary member of the Academy of Arts. In 1825, Naryshkin already had the rank of marshal and was among the few people who knew in advance about the abdication of Konstantin Pavlovich. Granted soon to the chief marshals, he was then made president of the court office and granted the rank of actual chamberlain. The writer V. A. Sollogub recalled Naryshkin:

A grandee of great hands, a lordly appearance, remarkable in intelligence and wit, but quick-tempered to the extreme. His wife was a sickly woman, but very pretty and respected by everyone.

Karl Bryullov. Portrait of K. A. and M. Ya. Naryshkina on a walk in the vicinity of Rome. (1827, State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg)

Having inherited from his father, despite the latter's wide life, a large fortune, Naryshkin did not live luxuriously, but cheerfully. He spent the winter in the Winter Palace in the chief marshal's apartment, the summer on the shores of the Gulf of Finland at his dacha Sergievka, which was surrounded by a huge garden. He opened this garden to the public and hung an invitation sign at the entrance. As a court marshal of the court of Grand Duke Nikolai Pavlovich, Naryshkin fell into disgrace in 1817. Empress Alexandra Feodorovna recalled:

Our marshal K. A. Naryshkin made every minute trouble for my husband: for the slightest joke he got angry to the point that he turned green, turned yellow with anger. In addition, he tried more than once to make inappropriate remarks to the Grand Duke, even at my expense. The man is extremely bilious, he sometimes fell into serpentine anger; everyone hated him and retired at his approach ... To have in such a small circle constantly next to me a man who was slandering, speaking with malicious intent of causticity, was unbearable, and although many took part in it, I had enough character to put my foot down and get him to leave this place ... Naryshkin left our Court, and Count Moden was appointed in his place.

Remezov Pavel Ivanovich Naryshkin K.A. (1786 - 1838) (Not earlier than 1826)

After the accession of Nicholas I to the throne, Naryshkin found himself in opposition. In 1826, he left Russia with his family and spent eight whole years abroad. Returning, Naryshkin was appointed a member of the State Council, but soon died in the Crimea, on October 25, 1838. Buried in St. Petersburg in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.

From 1808 he was married to Maria Yakovlevna Lobanova-Rostovskaya(1789-1854), daughter of the Little Russian governor Ya. I. Lobanov-Rostovsky; maid of honor and cavalry lady of the Order of St. Catherine.

The Naryshkins were familiar with Pushkin, and after his death, Maria Yakovlevna was his ardent defender. In her youth, she was fascinated by the future Decembrist prince S. G. Volkonsky.

George Doe. Portrait of S.G. Volkonsky 4th (Military Gallery of the Winter Palace, State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg)

According to him, Maria Yakovlevna had such a pretty face that she was called in society "Guido's head." Jealous of her happier rival Naryshkin, Volkonsky challenged him to a duel for no reason. In his memoirs, he wrote: "My antagonist swore to me that he was not looking for the hand of my dulcinea, and a year later he married her."

He had numerous estates in the Moscow, Penza, Samara, Saratov, Yaroslavl provinces. On the Pada estate, he led exemplary agriculture. Sheep and horses were bred here. A mill, oil mill, distillery and brick factories were built. There was a garden and a greenhouse with rare plants. At the expense of the Naryshkins, the People's House was built in Pady. It housed a library and a theater, on the stage of which amateur performances were staged. The Naryshkins also built several hospital buildings, which are still used for their intended purpose. In addition, it is worth mentioning the meteorological station they set up and two schools - the Zemstvo and the parochial. Vasily Lvovich initiated the creation of an essay on the nature of Pads and its environs, written by several St. Petersburg scientists under the guidance of the famous soil scientist V.V. Dokuchaev, who explored the estate in the early 1890s. At the same time, the future great composer S.V. Rakhmaninov came to Pada to visit relatives.

In exile, Maria Illarionovna and her husband lived without citizenship. On October 8, 1953, the princess headed the "Union of Musketeer Sisters" under the "Union of Musketeers of His Highness Prince Nikita Alexandrovich" created in the same year. Early 1970s. the princess and her husband returned to France, settling in Cannes. Since 1992 she has been an honorary member of the Association of members of the Romanov family.

Michael (1904—2003), Alexander(1905-1987) and Hilarion(1911-1982) - sons of I.V. and I.I. Vorontsov-Dashkovs

In 1913, Irina Vasilievna divorced I.I. Vorontsov-Dashkov and soon married Major General of His Majesty's retinue, Prince Sergei Alexandrovich Dolgoruky(1872 - 1933), but soon died (officially from pneumonia, unofficially from suicide due to discord with her new husband). From this marriage, Irina Vasilievna had a daughter - Princess Olga Sergeevna Dolgorukova(b.1915),

1.1.1.4.5.4.1.2.3. Alexandra Kirillovna(1817-1856), daughter of Kirill Alexandrovich and Maria Lvovna Naryshkin, a well-known trendsetter, in her first marriage (since 1834) to a count, in her second - a baroness de Poyly.

Gau V.I. Vorontsova-Dashkova Alexandra Kirillovna (born Naryshkin, in the 2nd marriage of de Poigny) (1817-1856) (1840s)

A.S. Pushkin- N.N. Pushkina: "... there is still a glorious wedding: Vorontsov marries the daughter of Naryshkin, who has not yet left the world ..."

The marriage was quite secular and respectable. The even more unimaginable luxury of the Vorontsov-Dashkovs was added to the luxury of the Naryshkins. Alexandra Kirillovna's husband, the richest nobleman of the capital, Count Ivan Illarionovich Vorontsov-Dashkov, was 28 years older than her.

E.Robetson. Ivan Ilarionovich Vorontsov-Dashkov (1810s, Hermitage)

For the always cheerful expression on his face, he was called the "eternal birthday man." He owned, among many palaces and lands, a luxurious palace on the English Embankment in St. Petersburg, presented to him by his famous aunt - Ekaterina Romanovna Dashkova. It was in this palace that he gave brilliant balls, which were usually attended by all members of the royal family, and the splendor of which was long remembered by all contemporaries. The balls given to them were second only to court balls. As Count V.A. Sollogub, “every winter the Vorontsovs gave a ball, which the court honored with a visit. The whole color of the St. Petersburg world was invited to this ball, which always constituted, so to speak, an incident in the secular life of the capital. "The young countess instantly mastered the" craft "of the hostess of all this splendor.

S.-F. Dietz. A.K. Vorontsova-Dashkov. (1840)

In the memoirs of the main gossip of the era, Prince A.V. Meshchersky, the type of “socialite” was determined precisely in connection with her:

“In Petersburg society, in imitation of Parisian society, for the first time then appeared lionesses, or the so-called ladies of the highest circle, distinguished in light or by their luxury, or position, or their mind, or beauty, or, finally, all of this together, and most importantly, many of her admirers ... Of all these ladies, Vorontsova-Dashkova most deserved the title of a lioness, if we understand this in the broad sense that French society then attached to it. She had no rivals. In dancing at the balls, which she loved, she was especially charming ... Her beauty was not classical, because her features were not, strictly speaking, correct, but she had something beyond description that most people like more classical beauty.

Unknown art.A.K.Vorontsov-Dashkov.40-ies.19

"The lady of fashion" and the first "socialite", she was of medium height, brunette, with expressive dark eyes of an oval-oblong shape, a little Mongolian type, like the whole complexion of her face. The waist was impeccable and the movements graceful. Count V.A. Sollogub wrote about her:

It happened many times in my life that I met women much more beautiful, perhaps even more intelligent, although Countess Vorontsova-Dashkova was distinguished by extraordinary wit, but I never met in any of them such a combination of the most delicate taste, grace, grace with such genuine gaiety, liveliness, almost boyish mischief. Life beat in her like a living key and enlivened, brightened up everything around her. Many women subsequently tried to imitate her, but none of them could seem to be what she really was.
What bribed her, especially all those who knew her, was her simplicity and ease ... If we add to the description of the countess that she had a rare wit and resourcefulness, then it will be clear that she rightfully ranked first among the young women of St. Petersburg society, and no one disputed this right with her. I was introduced to her at a big ball at the Austrian ambassador by my friend, one of her most zealous admirers, Stolypin (for some reason nicknamed Mongo in society) - a young man of rare beauty.

Her emotional, direct, sincere and open nature reacted violently to what was happening ...

Some stories were told about her all the time: either she tore a diamond from her necklace to help a woman in need, then she sent back the play to the emperor’s daughter, which she deigned to send without an accompanying invitation, then in Paris she did not regret witticisms about Louis Napoleon , they were all passed from mouth to mouth, and the irritated future emperor at a ball in his palace coldly and with a hint asked her how long she intended to stay in Paris. And he immediately received a defiant answer: “And you yourself, Mr. President, are you going to stay here for a long time?”

Countess A.K. Vorontsova-Dashkova, nee Naryshkina

She had a sensitive heart, hidden behind the shell of a "social butterfly." On the day of Pushkin's duel, who often visited their house and liked to come to their balls, she, while riding, first met Pushkin, who was going to the islands with Danzas, then Dantes and d'Arshiac, who were heading there. My heart felt terrible, as if someone had suggested - this is not without reason, to be a misfortune. Alexandra Kirillovna rushed home. What to do? Where to send? Whom to warn so that the duel does not happen? “When she arrived home, she said in despair that misfortune had certainly happened to Pushkin.” Heart-prophet. She rushed to ask her husband to do something. He sharply told her that she was too young to understand in matters of male honor.

Several such episodes - and the young countess began to gradually acquire the features of a real secular woman, able to hide her feelings under the guise of proud indifference. "Learn to rule yourself ..." Alexandra Kirillovna learned.

P.E.Zabolotsky.Portrait of M.Yu.Lermontov.1827

This is exactly how I saw her at the ill-fated ball on February 6, 1841 Lermontov, - the appearance of an exiled army officer at a dinner party, where members of the imperial family were present, was perceived by them and the whole society as a daring challenge. But the hostess resolutely stood up for the poet, taking full responsibility for herself, saying that it was she who called the poet herself, without telling him anything about the ball. The royal anger was softened, no punishment followed, Lermontov left for the Caucasus, where a few months later he was killed in a duel. The death of the poet, a frequent guest of her dinner parties, for whom Alexandra Kirillovna felt friendly sympathy and ardent sympathy, could not help but shock the still very young emotional woman - he was received in her house as a native also because she was his relative and close friend then I got hooked...

K. Steiben. A. K. Vorontsova-Dashkov. (1845)

Was in love with her Alexey Arkadyevich Stolypin, a relative and faithful friend of Lermontov, nicknamed them Mongo. He was a model of nobility and secular chivalrous spirit, moreover, an extraordinary handsome man, whose attractiveness was proverbial. All the ladies of high society were crazy about him and called him "beautiful Stolypin" and "women's favorite."

“His beauty, courageous and, at the same time, distinguished by some kind of tenderness, would be called by the French “proverbiale” (fabulous, proverbial - French). He was equally good in the dashing hussar mentik, and under the lamb shako of the Nizhny Novgorod dragoon, and, finally, in the attire of a modern lion, which he was quite, but in the best sense of the word. The amazing beauty of the outer shell was worthy of his soul and heart. To call "Mongu-Stolypin" means for us, the people of that time, the same thing as expressing the concept of embodied honor, a model of nobility, boundless kindness, generosity and selfless readiness for service in word and deed. He was not spoiled by the most brilliant of social successes, and he died no longer young, but the same kind, well-loved "Mongo", and none of the lions hated him, despite the danger of his rivalry. To utter a bad word about him could not have occurred to anyone and would have been taken for something monstrous.

Son of A. A. Stolypin, grandson (by mother) of N. S. Mordvinov. He was the cousin uncle of M. Yu. Lermontov and P. A. Stolypin.

However, he was not a handsome man in the living room: “The excellent courage of this man was beyond all suspicion. And so great was the respect for this courage and impeccable nobility of Stolypin that when he once refused the duel to which he was called, no one in the officer circle dared to say a reproachful word, and this refusal, without any explanatory remarks, was accepted and respected. , which, of course, could not have been the case in relation to another person: such was the reputation of this person. He entered the military service several times and retired again (1842) and again entered the service in the Crimean campaign... He bravely fought near Sevastopol, and at the end of the war he retired and then died in 1856 in Florence.
Alexei Stolypin always defended Lermontov, was his guardian angel, accompanied him twice to the Caucasus, guarded him from slander and evil detractors, translated “A Hero of Our Time” into French, participated as a second in two duels of the poet, including the tragic one, closed eyes of a dead friend, in general, was faithful and devoted to him to the end.

The concept of "socialite" by definition implies a "fatal heroine", "femme fatale", breaking hearts, fatal, but almost always love-passion not shared by a woman. So it was this time - passion for passion, but the depths of the soul of a young woman this love Passion hasn't touched...

N.A. Nekrasov "Princess":
"... Warrior, courtier, diplomat, envoy -
The beauty of the magical servile tributary;
Light applauds her, light imitates her.
The princess rules, she imposes chains,
But he does not wear chains, he is obedient to whims,
For no reason will love, leave indifferently:
Someone else's happiness costs nothing to her -
If he dies, the triumph will double! ..
Was her heart beating too calmly,
Or everything around was unworthy of passion,
Only not once in young years
Her breast was not warmed by love."

Prince P.A. Vyazemsky: "For Stolypin, this love turned into a long enslaving and disturbing relationship..."

Aleksey Arkadyevich Stolypin carried the painful and fatal love for Countess Vorontsova-Dashkova through his whole life.

In 1854, the Countess's husband, Ivan Illarionovich, died, leaving his wife and two children - Illarion and Irina - a huge inheritance. Alexandra Kirillovna leaves for Paris. She is 36 years old and in the prime of her beauty and health. The untold wealth of the Vorontsov-Dashkovs allows her to lead an idle and luxurious lifestyle. And here, in Paris, her love overtakes - Russian secular society is shocked by the news - not even a year has passed since the death of her husband, as the countess marries again - to a Frenchman, doctor of medicine, Baron de Pouilli ...

O.Verne.Portrait of A.K.Vorontsova-Dashkova.(1843)

N.A. Nekrasov "Princess":
"Years flew by. In the whirlwind of ballroom life
Until the time of autumn - lush and sad -
The princess lived ... Then her husband died ...
Mourning was difficult for her, the doctor guessed
And found that water would be useful to her
(Doctors in the capitals are generally kind).

If only a Russian goes abroad,
Send to Palermo, Pisa or Nice,
To be in Paris - so fate wills!
A year in the fashion capital is noisy and calm
The princess lived; fell in love with the second
In a French doctor - and she herself marveled!
He was not handsome, but she was new
Passionately and freely flowing word,
Bold, lively... Overthrow the yoke of passion
There is no thought ... yes, there is no power!
Decided! They immediately wrote to Russia;
German ruler without great sadness
Sold for nothing by virtue of the command,
English parks, Russian villages,
Land, forest and water, cottage and estate...
Received money - and played a wedding ... "

And six months later, a young - 38-year-old - full of strength and health, a woman died in one of the Parisian hospitals, far from an aristocratic level. There were a variety of rumors - and the main one - the countess was poisoned by her husband in order to seize her wealth. The strange circumstances of her death have not yet been clarified ...

K.Lash(?)Portrait of A.K.Vorontsova-Dashkova.Early 50s of the 19th century.

A.Ya. Panaeva "Memoirs": "... The secondary marriage of an aristocratic lioness made a terrible noise; they talked about it for a long time, and as soon as the conversations began to subside, the news of her death again gave them new food ..."

In the same year, 1856 N.A. Nekrasov publishes a poem in his journal Princess", in which contemporaries easily recognize the personality traits and biography of Vorontsova-Dashkova. Baron de Pouilli goes to Russia - allegedly to challenge the Russian poet to a duel, although many assumed that the main goal of the enterprising Frenchman was the inheritance of his deceased wife, Nekrasov is preparing for a duel, Panaev dissuades him - it was not enough for another Russian poet to die at the hands of a French rogue ...
The doctor-baron challenges Panaev to a duel. The scandal is escalating. Alexandre Dumas stands up for his compatriot.

A. Dumas: "Vorontsova-Dashkova died among luxury, in one of the best houses in Paris ..."

This is contradicted by acquaintances of Lermontov and Alexei Stolypin.

V. A. Insarsky "Memoirs": "... She was the object of universal adoration for all St. Petersburg dandies of the highest flight, and then, ruined and disfigured, ended her existence in one of the Paris hospitals."

Lithograph by G. Mitreiter. Vorontsova-Dashkova Alexandra Kirillovna (born Naryshkin, in the 2nd marriage de Poigny) (1817-1856) (1854)

S.V. Yuryev "Memoirs": "The new husband terribly tyrannized her, took away money and diamonds. He was a swindler, it seems, a player..."

N.A. Nekrasov "Princess":
"Here came the denouement. It has changed dramatically
Speculator Doctor; turned out to be a despot!
Money, diamonds - everything was put into scams,
And he tyrannized his wife, was jealous beyond measure,
And when the poor thing fell ill with grief,
Took her to the hospital... Visited first,
And then he left - as if he had sunk into the water!
Mournful, sick, went out for more than a year
The princess is in poverty ... and that year is difficult
She had a long year of gloomy thoughts!

Her death in Paris was not noticeable:
Poorly dressed up, buried poorly...
And in the distant homeland, they seemed to be glad:
For a whole year they were judged - sharply, without mercy,
Finally tired..."

A.Ya. Panaeva "Memories":

: "Nekrasov wrote this poem when St. Petersburg society was only talking about the death ... of Countess Vorontsova-Dashkova, who remarried in Paris ... to a simple French doctor and died as if alone in poverty, in one of Parisian hospitals. There were even rumors that the monster doctor terribly tyrannized her and finally poisoned her with a slow poison in order to quickly take advantage of her money and diamonds for a huge amount ... "

: "... obviously, he was lying, as if he had only then arrived in Petersburg to challenge Nekrasov to a duel ... Panaev accidentally found out from one of his acquaintances, a relative of the deceased countess .... that the French doctor came ... for negotiations with relatives regarding the property of his wife remaining in Russia, but received nothing ... "

The French doctor was satisfied with a verbal assurance that this poem was not about Vorontsova-Dashkova, because she was a countess, but the poem says "princess". There is an opinion that the heirs of Alexandra Kirillovna simply paid off him, and the adventurer went home - he never received the inheritance. However, not much was left of the legacy.

N.A. Nekrasov "Princess":
"... And one remained
Memory: that I dressed with excellent taste!
Yes, there was still a house with its emblems,
Filled to the brim with poor tenants,
Yes, in the stanzas of the careless Russian poet
Inspired by her wonderful two verses,
Yes, a beggar is a descendant of the old industry,
Forgotten by the light and in no way innocent ... "

She served as a prototype for one of the characters in I.S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons"(Princess R.)

In marriage, the Vorontsov-Dashkovs had two children:

Irina Ivanovna Paskevich(Irina Ivanovna Paskevich-Erivanskaya, Most Serene Princess of Warsaw) (1835 - April 14, 1925) - philanthropist, daughter of the chief master of ceremonies, real Privy Councilor Count Ivan Illarionovich Vorontsov-Dashkov and Alexandra Kirillovna Naryshkina (1817-1856); sister of Count I.I. Vorontsov-Dashkov, wife since 1853 Fyodor Ivanovich Paskevich(1823-1903) (the marriage was childless), the son of the Russian commander Ivan Fedorovich Paskevich-Erivansky ..

Count Illarion Ivanovich Vorontsov-Dashkov (1905)

1.1.1.4.5.4.1.2.4. Sergei Kirillovich(1819-1854) - the youngest son of Kirill Alexandrovich and Maria Lvovna Naryshkin, a retired staff captain, lived under supervision in Optina Hermitage; donated 150 thousand gold rubles to the Vyshenskaya Hermitage for the remembrance of his soul, childless.

Sergei Kirillovich lived a stormy life and, apparently, had a huge amount of debt, so in 1850 his estate, by the Highest command, came under guardianship, and until the end of his life Naryshkin could not independently manage his income.
What is the reason for such a plight of Sergei Kirillovich, we now do not know. But the creditors to whom Naryshkin owed money exacted money from him even after his death. Particularly stubborn in this matter was a certain Alexandra Alekseevna Ushakova, about whom one of the people close to Naryshkin said: “The very woman who was known by the name of the colonel and who (as those who know her say) was the main culprit of all Naryshkin’s misfortunes ... and meanness which knows no bounds.
Naryshkin was annually given a certain amount of funds for the maintenance of himself and his servants. Sergei Kirillovich lived either in the village of Kermis, or in the village of Borki, the center of his estate. Sergei Kirillovich spent the winter in Borki, the summer in Svistunovka.
In the last years of his life, Sergei Kirillovich made regular pilgrimages to monasteries. He visited the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. Since 1853, he periodically lived either in Optina or in the Kaluga Tikhonov desert. He lived on his own and, apparently, in the status of a novice, since in the inventory of things left after his death, there were 9 cassocks. Naryshkin's valet Yegor Zaikin, recalling that period of his life, testified that the master "every day goes to matins, mass and vespers, and there is a very long service in the monastery."
Sergei Kirillovich Naryshkin died in the Tikhonov Desert on July 15, 1855. He had no direct heirs, but before his death, he made a will, according to which all his movable and immovable property passed into the possession of his cousin-nephew - lieutenant of the Life Guards of the Ulansky Regiment Alexander Dmitrievich Bashmakov(A.D. Bashmakov is the son of one of the daughters of Sergei Kirillovich's aunt, Elena Alexandrovna, who was married to Count Arkady Alexandrovich Suvorov-Rymnikovsky. The daughter of Elena Alexandrovna was married to the real state councilor Dmitry Bashmakov).

Noble family. Not distinguished by special antiquity or meritoriousness, the Naryshkins in the old pre-Petrine Russia did not stand out in any way from the ranks of the numerous, middle service class of the Muscovite state.

There are conflicting testimonies about the origin of the Naryshkins.

In the mural submitted by them to the Razryad, it is said that they left the Crimea in 1465 and took the name from an ancestor, nicknamed Naryshko (the Mortkins and Safonovs were of the same origin with them).

Book. P.V. Dolgoruky cites the news that the Naryshkins pretended to be the ancient rulers of the city of Egra in Bohemia.

Not considering it necessary to refute this news in detail, he claims that the Naryshkins originally bore the surname Yaryshkins and were simple farmers in the village of Stary Kirkin, located not far from the town of Mikhailov, Ryazan province. Only in 1670, when Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich married Natalia Kirillovna, the daughter of Kirilla Poluektovich Naryshkin (and according to Prince Dolgoruky - Yaryshkin), Kirilla Poluektovich asked for permission for himself and for his relatives to be called Naryshkins.

In his "Memoirs" book. Dolgoruky relates the change in the name of the Yaryshkins to a more distant time - to the beginning of the 17th century; Tsar Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky then granted the patrimony to Polikarp Borisovich Yaryshkin, the grandson of Ivan Ivanovich killed in 1552 near Kazan, and Polikarp Borisovich became known as Naryshkin; his cousins ​​followed suit.

There is no doubt that the surname of the Yaryshkins (and rather old one) existed, but both in origin and in the coat of arms it has nothing to do with the Naryshkins. The genealogy of the Naryshkins, published in the "Russian Genealogical Book" book. A. B. Lobanov-Rostovsky, begins directly with Ivan Ivanovich Naryshkin, who was killed in the Kazan campaign in 1552 and left two sons.

This genealogy, apparently, completely neglects the testimony of the Naryshkins about their first ancestors, placed in the painting submitted to the Razryad, and detracts from the antiquity of the Naryshkin family; As can be seen from the Kashkin family archive, at the end of the 15th century, the Naryshkins owned two estates in the Kozelsky district of the Kaluga province - the villages of "Pryski" and "Verkh-Serena" and carried out a very difficult and responsible service in the Russian regions bordering Lithuania.

In time, this almost coincides with the departure of the Naryshkins from the Crimea, and therefore there is some doubt both in the likelihood of this fantastic departure, and in the Tatar origin of the Naryshkins.

In the Boyar Book of 7135 (1627), among the nobles in the city of Tarusa, it is shown: “Poluecht Ivanov, son of Naryshkin.

His local salary is 600 rubles; serves by choice. "Thus, as early as the beginning of the 17th century, the grandfather of Tsarina Natalya Kirillovna belonged, both in terms of local salary and service, to the number of significant Tarussky landlords: owning 600 children, he served by choice, i.e. in the first article nobles.

Poluyekht Ivanovich was killed near Smolensk in 1633. The entry of the Naryshkins into the palace nobility occurred as a result of the marriage of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich to Natalya Kirillovna.

After the birth of Tsarevich Peter from this marriage, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich granted his father-in-law, Kirill Poluektovich, a courtship, and then the boyars.

Three cousins ​​of Cyril Poluektovich also became boyars, and one was a roundabout.

The three brothers of Tsarina Natalya Kirillovna were boyars; in total, there were 8 boyars in the Naryshkin family. The offspring of the brothers of Tsarina Natalya Kirillovna, very few, still exist in the person of the children of Vasily Lvovich Naryshkin, who died in 1906.

From the same branch came the Chief Chamberlain Emmanuil Dmitrievich Naryshkin, who died in 1902, a well-known philanthropist, the son of Maria Antonovna Naryshkina, nee Princess Chetvertinskaya.

All the rest, now existing, rather numerous Naryshkins, descend from second cousins ​​of Tsaritsa Natalya Kirillovna. "Russian Archive" 1871, pp. 1487-1519; book. A. B.
