At the age of 11 he entered the Nizhny Novgorod Military Gymnasium as
a Kazan nobility scholar. After graduating from high school, he served in
Orenburg, then achieved a transfer to his native Kazan — to the Vetluzhsky
reserve battalion. The service was a burden to him, and after serving the
mandatory three years “as compensation for education,” he retired. After his
father Pyotr Aleksandrovich divided the land between his children, he took
care of the estate in
Petrovo
that had been given to him (including thanks to
the dowry of his wife
Natalya Nikanorovna Shcherbakova
,
the youngest
daughter of a steamboatman from the city of Mamadysh), and worked in the
Zemstvo (local government).
He wrote memoirs about his childhood and youth, about his Kazan relatives
and their environment.
He was a well-known collector of antiquities in Kazan. In the novels of his
daughter-in-law
Olga Aleksandrovna Boratynskaya
(wife of his son Kirill)
“The White Road” and “Dawn of the Eighth Day” Ilyins received the
pseudonym “Volotsky”. Olga Aleksandrovna tells the story of how in 1918,
when Petrovo was already in the hands of the peasants, Kirill Borisovich
decided to go there from Kazan to buy back his beloved mare Lyubava. Boris
Petrovich asked Kirill to go into the main house and pick up a treasure from
the secretary - Pushkin's letters, although this was very dangerous. The
peasants agreed to let Kirill into his own house, but demanded that he take out
the letters in front of them and read them aloud. At the same time, as Olga
Alexandrovna writes, some of the peasants even sat in the master’s chairs.
Kirill read selectively in French and translated. Olga Alexandrovna suggests
that the peasants hoped that these papers contained a plan for a treasure
buried in Petrovo. Kirill brought the letters, but then they were burned out.
According to Olga Alexandrovna, the estate was burned, and all the property
in it was lost during the revolution.
In fact, according to the stories of grandmother
Natalya Borisovna
and
mother, Boris Petrovich asked the estate workers to hide portraits, paintings,
furniture, antique watches, dishes, etc. They did so, and after the end of the
civil war everything was returned to Boris Petrovich without any
concealment. The fact that today we have the opportunity to see and
appreciate these historical things is the result of the kind attitude of Boris
Petrovich’s employees towards him, for which we are immensely grateful to
these people unknown to us.
After Kazan was captured by the Reds, together with his wife, daughter
Natalya, the wife of his son Kirill and grandson Boris, he followed the White
troops east, reaching Krasnoyarsk. However, the families could no longer
accompany the White Army, and they returned to Kazan.
After returning, Boris Petrovich and his wife lived in two rooms on the first
floor of a house on Krasnaya Street in Kazan, which before the coup belonged
to the husband of Maria Nikanorovna Cupidonova, Natalya Nikanorovna’s
sister.
