It was through her writing, and translations of works by Bulwer-Lytton, that Helena Andreevna earned money to pay the governesses and... Read more

A HEROINE OF OUR TIME Spring 1837. Along the boulevard, young men in love, jealous of their beauties in advance, drafted battle plans for conquests of the heart. [1] Here, in the evening, Circassians brought their best horses, and the Armenians spread out their most expensive wares on square carpets. A boulevard like this had its own peculiar charm, and one could admire the beautiful faces under the hats of the latest fashion. You would meet young fashionables... Read more

LOVE AND AMBITION 1836 Serving as Vera’s nurse, and far from consoled by the loss of her son, Helena Andreevna nevertheless enriched her usual activities with her joy. She still played the piano with Lelya, sang songs to her, taught her literacy, and rejoiced at the extraordinary abilities and intelligence of her five-year-old girl. She continued her own work, studying Italian, French, German, and her favorite, English. She played the pianoforte, and read a lot, taking an interest in Orest... Read more

ASTRAKHAN Andrei Mikhailovich went to Ekaterinoslav in the summer of 1835 and took Katya along with him. The purpose of the visit was twofold, the first was official business, and the second was to visit his mother. His trips around the colonies continued, but this service, in its new form, began to bore him. Disorder and neglect arose in the administration, both due to General Inzov’s weakness and due to the excessive reduction of material resources continuing the organization... Read more

SECRET PASSAGES 1835 The Battery was once again on the move, this time stationed in the town of Romankov. It was here that Sasha began to get very sick, dying from a slow chronic illness. The gradual decline of her passionately beloved child forced Helena Andreevna to suffer for months.[1] The early spring of 1835 was very muddy, and the snow was still weeks away from fully melting. The boy got worse every hour, but as no one could ride... Read more
