Veshnjakovs in Kazan
Tatyana Petrovna
Zheltukhina
(Veshnjakova)
Tatyana Petrovna Zheltukhina (Veshnyakova)
owned a house next to the
Resurrection Church diagonally from the university (now house number 21
on Kremlevskaya Street). Here Tatyana Petrovna lived with her husband
Vladimir Fedorovich Zheltukhin
in the winters and organized the most
luxurious balls. Tatyana Petrovna left this house in her spiritual will to one of
her nieces, Elena Libert, the daughter of her sister Ekaterina Petrovna.
Subsequently, the house passed to the Matveevskys.
Another house is on Nikolaevskaya Square, which is now the Lenin Garden,
not far from the Black Lake. After the death of Vladimir Fedorovich, this house
will be sold by Tatyana Petrovna and will serve as a hotel for the city.
Zheltukhins and Lev Tolstoy
L.N. Tolstoy, while studying at Kazan University, attended
evenings and balls in the Zheltukhins’ house. There is a
version that in the story “After the Ball” a ball at the
Zheltukhins is mentioned: “.
.. on the last day of Maslenitsa
I was at a ball at the provincial marshal, a good-natured old
man, a rich hospitable man and a chamberlain. His wife acts
as a host, who was as good-natured as he was, in a velvet puce
dress, with a diamond feronniere on her head and with open
old, plump, white shoulders and breasts, like portraits of
Elizaveta Petrovna...”
