great-great-great-great-great- grandmother.
Daughter of Prince Dmitry Petrovich Gorchakov and Natalya Fedorovna, née

Dmitry
Andrianovich Laptev

already a member of a society that did nothing. The Investigative Committee
ignored this.

Sofia Dmitrievna was also the aunt of
Petr Arkadyevich Stolypin
(his mother
was Olga Dmitrievna’s niece, the daughter of her brother Mikhail).
Sofia Dmitrievna's brothers were participants in the Patriotic War of 1812.
Brother Mikhail Dmitrievich was the commander-in-chief during the
surrender of Sevastopol during the Crimean War of 1855. Brother Pyotr
Dmitrievich was the governor-general of Siberia.
Great-grandmother Olga Dmitrievna had an estate near Moscow,
Krasnovidovo, Mozhaisk district (now — Istra district), which the family
remembered with great pride. Olga Dmitrievna was a high-society Muscovite
and lived beyond her means. Her sister Sofya Dmitrievna Lapteva had much
better means for her husband and at the same time was very modest. The
different characters of these sisters were outlined one day when my parents,
having gotten married, went to Moscow. At their first introduction, Olga
Dmitrievna asked the young people what funds they had at their disposal: my
father replied that he had an estate of about 100 serfs’ souls. The wasteful
grandmother was horrified: “How will you exist?” When introduced to
another grandmother, Lapteva, to the same answer from her father about his
funds, she was completely satisfied and expressed confidence that the young
people would make savings. Be that as it may, Krasnovidovo was sold, and my
grandmother Varvara Ivanovna, after all the misfortunes that accompanied
her all her life, was left with about sixty thousand rubles.
