Book 1. And even the fate of this beautiful woman at times actively invaded the heroic Russian fleet and the Andreevsky flag ... Princess Alexander Gastonovna Vyazemskaya, for example, under this flag on the legendary armored cruiser "Novik" in the Russian-Japanese campaign, not paying attention to injuries, was made by bold combat rams of the cousin of Alexandra Gastonovna, the layel of the fleet.

Andrei Petrovich Sus-, mentioned in the famous novel by Alexander Stepanov, Port Arthur. It was this flag that was a symbol of the unbending will of the sailors of the Black Sea Fleet, which went to the shore of the besieged Sevastopol, organized by Admiral Nakhimov. Among his fearless officers in the Primorsky battery, the grandfather of our heroine fought and was shell-shocked, subsequently Vice Admiral Peter Afanasevich Chebyshev-but about everything in order.

His surname, as well as the surname of his relative and namesake Pafnutia Lvovich, a well -known mathematician, is correctly pronounced through the “ё”, with an emphasis on the last syllable. The wife of Vice Admiral Julia Grigoryevna was born of the Polish, daughter of the Russian Navy, and two daughters of Alexander and Valentin annually, when the head of the family had the opportunity, went on vacation to Paris.

However, the youthful memories of the beautiful France at the Baryshin of the Chebeshovs were associated not only with the architecture of the French capital. It was here that the summer Alexandra experienced the first sympathy for the young man, and the oath of fidelity given to her years later brought lovers to the altar. Looking forward, let's say that the marriage was happy.

They lived a long life and died, as in a fairy tale, almost in one day-in the fall of the year in Petrograd, where they were buried in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. Gaston Escen mind. Alexandra Petrovna Chebysheva, in marriage - Eschen - the chosen one of Alexandra Petrovna became Gaston Eschen, who belonged to the patriarchal family of Belgian origin in France. In Paris, he owned a decent plot of land in Passy, ​​where the Trokadero exhibition complex was currently built.

After the collapse of the Lyon Bank, in which family funds were stored, Gaston and Alexander moved to Russia. Gaston received a place in the board of Makeevsky metallurgical plants financed by French capital. They had two girls who, in the spirit of inherited family traditions, were also called Alexandra Sasha and Valentina Linoch. In the spirit of the same tradition, the noblemen of Siversov, who will be discussed later, all men were called Alexandra.

Our heroine was a very frisky child and among her peers was clearly distinguished by the ingenuity, which she used exclusively in her children's selfish interests. Her sister Lina looked like Sasha, but the difference between the characters was noticeable since childhood. Girls were brought up in severity, leading endless conversations about "duty" along the French system.

Lina studied conscientiously, sitting for hours for books, while sitting for them Sasha was very difficult. She believed that in the world there are things much more interesting than textbooks. If Valentina always gravitated towards a measured lifestyle - and when the first to marry the centurion of the Life Guard of the Cossack regiment N. Kurnakov, and when she became the French Countess de Gern, Alexander, on the contrary, preferred the light, cheerful pastime under the canopy of the enthusiastic views of representatives of the Higher World.

She was interested in all the brewing and already discussed intrigues, the information about which she absorbed like a sponge, and willingly shared them with her peers. “Sede strand against the backdrop of dark curly hair, which appeared at the age of 18-19 years and made up an interesting contrast with its young, mobile face, gave special attractiveness to Alexander.” Sisters got married at the same time.

The wedding of the two pairs took place on October 20 in the St. Petersburg Church of the Page Corps on Sadovaya. The first husband of Alexandra Gastonovna, later a famous historian, genealog and numismat, Alexander Alexandrovich Sivers - came from the Baltic noble family, whose branches in the XVIII century was erected into count's dignity. The apocryphal versions argued that the pedigree of his mother led to the illegitimate daughter of the brightest Prince Potemkin and Catherine the Great.

The portrait of this mysterious person, which bore the surname of Temlitsyn from the mixing of the surnames of Potemkin and her godfather mother, Princess Golitsyna, was exhibited in the Tretyakov Gallery, and with an erroneous signature: “E. Alexander Alexandrovich, who at that time held a prominent post in the Ministry of the Imperial Court and had the court rank of chamberlain, earned himself a reputation as a decent person who, after the construction of the powerful irrigation structures and cotton cleaning plants in Bayram, began to joke as a “father of Russian cotton”.

Children were born in the family - the daughter of Tatyana - and son Alexander - from left to right: a friend of the N. Family of her husband, on the contrary, longed for perseverance, analytical activity, and silence.Therefore, he increasingly and more often, delving into the sphere of his hobbies, instructed friends and colleagues to accompany the young wife to theaters, balls and other social events.

As a result, this situation led to a completely logical conclusion. To Sivers with a request to provide Alexander Borisovich Sheremetev, who admitted to Alexander Gastonovna, his assistant, who admitted that he loves his wife. The attempts of the spouses to maintain marriage were unsuccessful, the final gap occurred in the year. Alexandra Gastonovna and her second husband Nikolai Borisovich Sheremetev.

Having joined the numerous Sheremetev clan, Alexandra Gastonovna left the children to her ex -husband. Nobody approved her act. Some of their attitude to what happened was hidden, others did not bother to restrain themselves on this. The new aristocratic position allowed our heroine to rotate among the persons of a high rank, even more expanding the already considerable circle of acquaintances.

Nikolai Borisovich, with whom Alexander Gastonovna lived in the outbuilding house of Count Sheremetev Sheremetev’s hospital, now known as the Sklifosovsky hospital, eventually took the vacant place of the head of the Moscow Specific District. A married couple moved to a prestigious official mansion on Prechistensky Boulevard. From the letter of her daughter Tatyana Alexandrovna: “Moscow ...

I am used to her and pass by the specific house on Prechistensky Boulevard completely calmly. By the way, a memorial plaque with the bas -relief of Turgenev is very nice on the laid window of my former cool, and then the living room, and then the living room, and then the living room. Ivan Sergeyevich constantly stopped in this house with his friend Maslov, the former, like Nikolai Borisovich Sheremetev, the head of the Moscow specific district.

” Under Kaluga, in the estate of the Chebyshevs "Aladino". Vyazemsky and Mom Tatyana - Alexandra Gastonovna. They sit from left to right: Alexandra Petrovna Eschen Born. Chebysheva, Gaston Eschen. Personal Assembly of E. Aksakova, great -grandchildren of Princess A. Nice, France. The new appointment made it possible to decide the issue of moving to them the daughter of Alexandra Gastonovna after more than five years of separation, and this segment of the life of our heroine can be attributed to the brightest period in a series of subsequent events.

I must say that Nikolai Borisovich took a high position without delight. He was a note theater, gravitated to a small theater and over the years he completely “drowned” in stage problems. I tried in performances and played small and simple roles under his unchanged pseudonym Yurin. Sheremetev, with rapture, organized home productions with the participation of youth, willingly invited friends - actors, "who poured a wide stream at the anfilads of the specific house.

There were celebrities - M. Ermolova, O. Sadovskaya, A. As usual, the creative environment accompanies the freedom of morals, which was also aggravated by Nikolai Borisovich along the line of excessive hobby with strong drinks. This misfortune did not leave him in foreign travels, where the family tried to get out annually. A brilliant hobby of the theater from a major official of the specific department began to take the form of enthusiastic euphoria, and actress Elizaveta Ivanovna Naydenov, who did not at all complained of her self -proclaimed knight, became the subject of manic sighing.

The final explanation of Alexandra Gastonovna and her husband occurred in the year, after which the second divorce proceedings began. The divorce was framed quickly, and already on July 15, Alexandra Gastonovna became a princess. The wedding with Prince Vladimir Alekseevich Vyazemsky, contrary to the unfulfilled persuasion of her sister to refrain from this step, took place in the church of Nikolai Morskoy.

Valentina Gastonovna, as always practical, believed that Vyazemsky, being much younger than her wife, would definitely abandon her, leaving her on the street. As soon as the prince found out about this, he immediately transferred his Kaluga estate Popelevo to Alexander Gastonovna, declaring her sister: “Now your sister can expel me, and I haven’t - Her! On the winter alley.

He led ahead. Mikhail Aleksandrovich, on the right - V. Vyazemsky, on the left - A. Vyazemskaya and N. In the X, being exiled in Argentina, Boris Sergey Sergeyevich’s brother said with humor how both friends were simultaneously wooed: one to his mother, and the other to his daughter. The acquaintance of our heroine with Natalya Sergeevna Bratova occurred at the beginning of the war in the house of one of their common acquaintances.

Immediately arising mutual sympathy, subsequently overgrown with sincere friendship, led to the fact that Brasova took up the reunification of her new girlfriend with Prince Vyazemsky, who was called up for military service and sent to the Voronezh province, to the Ostrogozhsky school of warrant officers. She met him in Gatchina, where she moved with her second husband, Vladimir Vladimirovich Wulfert, an officer of the Life Guards of Her Majesty, the “blue”, or “Gatchina”, cuirassier.Mikhail Alexandrovich, as usual, accompanied his sister - Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, who, being in an unsuccessful marriage with Prince Peter Oldenburg, was carried away by the colleague of Wulfert, her future husband Nikolai Aleksandrovich Kulikovsky.

The attitude of Emperor Nicholas II towards his brother’s act, his morganatic marriage caused many troubles and secular gossip. Tatyana Aleksandrovna Aksakova Sivers wrote about Bratova: “Mother of her purebred Polka. The first husband was mammoths, and the 2nd Wolfert, blue cuirassier ... It was a rather educated poser, versed in art, but, apparently, not very scrupulous in moral matters, t.

My father, who was in charge of the "guardianship" over the property of the Grand Duke during his "disgrace", paid this amount from the funds of the latter by his disposal. " With the outbreak of war, Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich was allowed to return to the empire and the command of the emerging native division, better known as “wild”, was entrusted. His permanent orderly became Prince Vladimir Vyazemsky.

The division consisted of six regiments, which included Kabardins, Circassians, Ingush, Chechens, Dagestanis and Tatars, highly appreciated personal courage and idolized their commander, calling him “our Mikhailo”.

Aksakova mutual support, which Natalya Sergeevna and Alexander Gastonovna provided each other, waiting for their husbands at the front, was strongly connected in the life of these women, whose fates were very similar. The daughter of our heroine recalled: “Natalya Sergeevna did not go a single step, with whom she, apparently, was fun and pleasant.
