And my next post in support of Ukraine.

Next site, the Church of the Transfiguration (in Ukrainian Spaso-Preobrazhenska) in the village of Moshny in Cherkasy Oblast. It was built in 1830-1839. It was originally part of a palace and park complex of Count Mikhail Vorontsov, a "russian" nobleman and field-marshal who served in the Napoleonic wars and in the Caucasian War. The church is the only part of the complex that is still preserved. The architect, Giorgio Torricelli from Italy, created an exact duplicate of the church in France near Paris.

Naryshkin-Shuvalov Palace, also known as the Shuvalov Palace, is a Neoclassical building on the Fontanka Embankment in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Once home to the noble Naryshkin and Shuvalov families, the palace has housed the Fabergé Museum since 2013

Palace was constructed in the late 18th century, possibly to a design by Italian architect Giacomo Quarenghi. The first owners of the palace were the Count and Countess Vorontsov.

In 1799 Maria Naryshkina, born Princess Maria Czetwertyńska-Światopełk (who was a Polish noble and was for 13 years the mistress of Tsar Alexander I) purchased the palace. Her husband, Dmitri Lvovich Naryshkin, filled it with spectacular art and marble sculptures, as well as antiquities including gems, coins, and weapons. The palace became the center of the Saint Petersburg society, and its grand ballroom — also known as the Alexandrovsky or White Column Hall — played host to society balls of up to 1,000 people.

Favorite History Books || Former People: The Final Days of the Russian Aristocracy by Douglas Smith ★★★☆☆

Reading dozens of personal accounts and listening to even more stories in homes, archives, and libraries in Russia and the West, I found myself drawn to the experiences of two families in particular—the Sheremetevs and the Golitsyns. Both belonged to the highest level of the nobility, the aristocracy; both had esteemed and ancient histories; both suffered horribly during the revolution and after; both were torn apart, some family members leaving Russia forever; and both left behind a wealth of letters, diaries, memoirs, and photographs that provide the kinds of sources required to write this history in a full, accurate, and convincing manner.

The Golitsyns formed an extensive clan—unlike the titled Sheremetevs—with more than a dozen separate branches at the time of the revolution. One of these descended from Prince Fyodor Golitsyn, a gentleman of the bedchamber in the reign of Catherine the Great and later trustee of Moscow University. Prince Vladimir Golitsyn, Fyodor’s grandson and the long-serving mayor of Moscow, was a contemporary of Count Sergei Sheremetev’s. Whereas the Sheremetevs maintained connections with the court and particularly with the royal family in St. Petersburg, the Golitsyns were a true Moscow family that had little to do with the imperial capital. Nevertheless, the families knew each other—nothing unusual in the small world of the Russian aristocracy—and even though Vladimir (liberal Westernizer) and Sergei (conservative monarchist) could barely tolerate each other, some of their children socialized and worked together. Two of their grandchildren—Yelena Sheremeteva and Vladimir Golitsyn, named after his grandfather—fell in love at the Corner House in the early 1920s and married. Thanks to their large numbers, the princely line of the Golitsyns managed to survive in Russia; the Sheremetevs, however, did not.

The lives of several generations of the Sheremetevs and Golitsyns form the unifying thread that runs through Former People. While every noble experienced the revolution and the transition to the new Soviet order in his own way, what happened to the Sheremetevs and Golitsyns, and how they reacted to these events, were true for the majority of the nobility. Their lives were simultaneously exceptional, as is the case for every individual, and ordinary for the members of their class in Russia in those years.

... For many Russian nobles the revolution came as no surprise. Even as early as the eighteenth century some far-seeing noblemen could imagine the day when they would be swept away by the masses. At the height of the French Revolution in 1792, Count Semyon Vorontsov, Russia’s ambassador to Great Britain, wrote to his brother back home ... Vorontsov erred about the revolution’s timing, but he was right that it would be a war to the death between the haves and the have-nots and that the former would lose. For centuries the Russian nobility had lived off the numbing toil of the peasant serfs. Noble landowners, whether cruel tyrants or benevolent masters, enjoyed equally the fruits of this favored status. Their wealth, culture, indeed their entire manner of life were made possible by a harsh system of forced servitude that by the eighteenth century hardly differed from American slavery. The emancipation of the serfs in 1861 did little to change the subservient relationship of the peasant to his former owner. The chasm that separated the world of the masses from the thin layer of the powerful and the privileged lasted right up until 1917.

The peasants had little choice but to tolerate their condition. At times they did rise up, and the results were inevitably violent and bloody. The great rebellions of Stenka Razin and Yemelyan Pugachev in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, which scorched much of Russia and left tens of thousands dead, inspired hope in the downtrodden and instilled fear in the upper classes. The Russian countryside erupted again in the summer of 1917. This time, however, it would be different, and the peasants would not be subdued.

Manuscript search tag

Indirectly tagged by @scarvenartist to find the words: roar, flow, look, pay. All these excerpts are from my “novel in letters” (translated mostly from correspondence among Pushkin and his contemporaries).

roar

Soon impressions start to grow dull. Scarcely a day had passed, and already the roar of the Terek and its monstrous waterfalls, and the crags and chasms, no longer held my attention.

flow

What weather, my dear friend! I’ve never seen the like: not a cloud, not a breeze, a calm sea that sparkles with a thousand bits of fire, never has snow been so dazzling, with every nuance of the different currents and streams flowing in; it’s truly magnificent; this is what summer is normally like here, and above all the months of July and August.

look

I really love the broader plan of your Onegin; but most people don’t get it. They look for the plot of a novel, for what is expected and ordinary, and of course they don’t find it.

pay

I fear the unpleasant consequences he’s bound to face for this, for Count Vorontsov grows weary or may grow weary of these distractions which prevent him from paying full attention to his governing.

Indirectly tagging any mutuals who would like to do this with their own WIP(s). Your words are: sing, same, shine, start.

House of Romanov in my au

so initially I really wanted Catherine Henrietta to marry into the Romanovs but I wasn’t sure how realistic it was for an English Anglican princess to marry into Russian Orthodoxs but looking at the age appropriate matches, Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich, son of Peter the Great is only three years older than her? and his intended bride, Charlotte Christine of Brunswick-Lüneburg, was a year younger than CH as well as a Protestant so this honestly seemed like a very feasible match, which was exciting. plus it seems like the marriage arrangement allowed CC to continue to be a practicing Lutheran although her children had to be brought up Russian Orthodox. obviously there are a lot of differences between the Eastern and Western churches but I still think Anglican is a little closer to Russian Orthodox than Lutheran. anyway, I’m imagining a similar settlement for CH.

I don’t see Alexei’s personality changing so he’s probably still going to be a dumb bitch defect to Austria and die during interrogation under torture. (Sorry bro but you did that all by yourself.)

Henrietta (known as Ekaterina in Russia) was as popular as her husband was not and I see her pulling something of a Catherine de Medici to get close with her father-in-law. She remained in correspondence with her mother and older sister Elizabeth until her mother’s death and then her own.

Unfortunately Peter the Great died without designating an heir in 1725 and his wife, Catherine, seized the throne and remained in power until her death 1727. Henrietta immediately began consolidating power and promoting the cause of her son (a la Eleanor of Aquitaine, you could say).

after Catherine’s death, Henrietta seized control of Catherine’s younger daughter Elizabeth, adding her to her own household, and prevented her from making an aristocratic match. Elizabeth’s older sister Anna was safely out of reach in Holstein but died less than a year later given birth to her son, Carl Peter Ulrich.

(am I imagining a parallels gifset showing the struggles of both Elizabeth and Henrietta in France and Russia respectively? why, yes, I am)

so, wall of text aside, as I mentioned elsewhere, Henrietta and Alexei had:

Peter/Pyotr (b. 1713; d. November 1731), became Peter II and ruled for only three years (May 1727 - November 1731), went into a deep depression after the death of his beloved little sister Anna and eventually died of pneumonia in 1731, never married (basically didn’t really have time to);

Dmitry (b. 1714; d. 1776), succeeded his brother and ruled for forty-four years (November 1731 - 1776), his regnal name is a matter of debate among scholars (see: the False Dmitrys) but he is generally regarded as Dmitry II, made a highly unusual marriage to Polish–Lithuanian noblewoman Zofia Krasińska in 1740; 

Sophia (b. 1715; d. 1781), married Count Mikhail Illarionovich Vorontsov in 1733;

Miscarriage in 1716

Ivan (b. 1717; d. 1770), never married;

Anna (b. 1719; d. 1729), born shortly after her father’s death, her eldest brother Peter appointed himself her protector immediately upon seeing her for the first time and when she died of consumption at age ten, he went into a deep depression and eventually died of pneumonia in 1731, though romantics like to say it was of a broken heart;

(I actually don’t know what titles would be given to the sons and daughters of the Tsarevich (Grand Dukes and Duchesses for the younger ones maybe?), though presumably Peter would have inherited the title of Tsarevich when his father died.)

In 1732, Henrietta was found to be pregnant in a huge scandal (Alexei having been dead for fourteen years at this point) and gave birth to her last child, Maria (b.1732; d. 1804), who earned the interesting sobriquet Maria the Fatherless from historians. She received courtesy titles from her brother Dmitry.

Dmitry and Zofia had:

Grand Duchess Catherine/Ekaterina (b. 1741; d. ????), ;

Tsarevich Dmitry (b. 1743; d. ????), became Dmitry III;

Grand Duchess Zofia (b. 1744; d. ????), ;

Grand Duke Nicholas/Nicolai (b. 1748; d. ????), ;

Sophia married Count Vorontsov and they had:

Alexander (b. 1733; d. ????), ;

Mikhail (b. 1735; d. ????), ;

Sophia (b. 1736; d. ????), ;

Catherine/Yekaterina (b. 1737; d. ????), ;

Elizabeth/Elizaveta (b. 1739; d. ????), ;

Anna (b. 1743; d. ????), ;

I don’t know yet who Dmitry (III) married but this means the direct male line of the Romanov Dynasty continued until (at least) his death.

World Boxing champ eyes SEAG victory

#PHnews: World Boxing champ eyes SEAG victory

BAGUIO CITY – Newly-crowned Amateur Asian Boxing Association (AIBA) World Women Boxing champion Nesthy Petecio is eyeing a return to the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games with a bang on December even as she prepares for the Olympics qualifier in February next year.

“Kailangang makabawi (We need to recover),” said Petecio on Friday at the University of Baguio (UB) athletics office prior to her courtesy call to University president Javier Bautista and at her department, the School of International Tourism and Hotel Management.

Petecio, a native of Davao City, is a first-year college student.

The tourism student won the gold in the AIBA world championship last October 13 in Ulan Ude, Russia when she beat Russian and hometown pride Liudmila Vorontsove in three of the five judges' cards.

The 27-year-old ended the country’s seven-year drought in the world championship with teammate Josie Gabuco last winning it in the light flyweight division against China’s Shiqu Xi.

Now, Petecio is eyeing gold in the SEAG on December 2 to 7 hoping to erase the stigma of the 2015 edition in Singapore where she lost against a Vietnamese foe in the finals.

“I really want to get back and win the gold this time in the SEAG,” said Petecio, who missed the 2017 SEAG.

After that, it will be the Olympics qualifier somewhere in China where she hopes to land a seat in the 2020 Olympics in Japan.

Petecio is actually seeded in the qualifier but needs to get at least a bronze medal to qualify.

To accomplish both, she needs to fly with the Philippine boxing team to Gold Coast, Queensland in Australia to train for at least three weeks.

“She needs to fly there so she can train with female boxers her size. We do not have many boxers of her size here,” national team assistant coach Rey Galido said.

Petecio is first flying to her hometown of Davao for a flag-raising event with Davao City Mayor Sarah Duterte on Monday and will return to Baguio on October 26 to get her stuff for the Australia trip.

But she is also expected to grace the unity run for the SEAG with possibly Hidilyn Diaz and fellow boxer Eumir Marcial.

“Though I am not really sure if they will be there since they have a busy schedule, with the SEAG fast approaching,” she said.

Fellow gold medalist Carlo Yulo, who grabbed the limelight a day before Petecio when he won gold in gymnastics, has already flown to Japan to continue his training.

Another Olympics qualifier EJ Obiena is also out of the country for training, “so I am not really sure if they can make it,” she added.

But for now, Petecio is contented with her windfall, a total of PHP3 million and counting.

She received PHP1 million from the Philippine Sports Commission upon her arrival, a PHP1 million from President Rodrigo Duterte and another PHP1 million from the MVP Foundation. She is expected also to get a similar amount from Senator Manny Pacquiao.

Baguio is also set to give her an amount for winning in an international competition.

“May pampagawa na ng bahay namin, siguro matatapos na namin (I have now the means to have our house finished),” said Petecio, who as a small child saw her family evicted from their house in Davao City and has to move back to her father’s hometown in Davao del Sur.

“I can also finish a regular degree here in UB after finishing my associate arts studies,” she added. (PNA)
