Alexandra Ivanovna Anikeeva
Alexandra Ivanovna is the aunt of
Nadezhda Nikolaevna
, the wife of
Pyotr
Alexandrovich Ilyin
. Sister of our great-great- great-grandmother
Varvara
Ivanovna Moiseeva
.
According to family legends, Alexandra Ivanovna was very interesting in her
youth. I may be confusing, but she had a very sad affair with a young man,
and she wished to remain faithful to him until death. It seems that this poor
young man was Count Kleinmichel. According to another version, she was in
love abroad with some prince, and he with her. They also said that she was
a great coquette and a picky bride, and so she remained a girl. Among other
portraits, I have a daguerreotype, depicting her no longer young in the
magnificent costume of a lady-in-waiting of the court of Queen Elizabeth of
England. In the 50s in Moscow, on the occasion of the arrival of Emperor
Nikolai Pavlovich, high society gave a costume ball, at which all those present
wore costumes from the time of Elizabeth and depicted Elizabeth herself and
her court. Alexandra Ivanovna died in Moscow, far from old. She had
consumption.
