ILYINS
The Ilyins are an ancient family of Rurikovich, by the XIX
century quite impoverished. At the beginning of the XIX
century, the family settled in Kazan, and its life until
the 20s of the XX century was connected with the Kazan
society. The Ilyins became related to the Veshnyakovs,
Gorchakovs, Anikeyevs, Moiseyevs, Shcherbakovs,
Boratynskys. This is evidenced by the preserved
documents, letters, portraits. After the coup of 1917,
the family left Kazan, while one part of it ended up in
Moscow, and the other in San Francisco.
In the 1990s, family ties resumed, but new generations no
longer know much about the family history. The purpose
of this work is to systematize and preserve the information
that I inherited from my mother and grandmother. Figure
out who is depicted in the surviving portraits. To pass it on
to the next generations of our family.

of Donna Ilyin
Three generations of Ilyins — Natalya Nikanorovna, Natalya Borisovna and Susanna Leonidovna. Summer of 1951, dacha in Zagorianka.
Here we tried to explain as fully as possible about the connections of the Ilyins with their close and distant relatives —
including the Boborykins, Buxhoevedens, Vsevolzhskys, Liberts, Lobachevskys, Molostvovs, Osokins, Stolypins, Tolstoys,
Shipovs, Shuvalovs, Chaplins, Khovanskys and other

The portraits of the Ilyins and their relatives that were preserved in the family hung first at my grandmother’s, then at my
mother’s, and now hang in our house. Unfortunately, many family stories or details of events in childhood are uninteresting,
and then there is no one to ask about them. We relied on the recorded memories of Boris Petrovich Ilyin and Pyotr
Ivanovich Zisserman, and collected, to the best of our ability, data about what is behind each face in the portrait — when
this grandfather or uncle was born, where and by whom he served, when and whom he married, where he lived, what his
contemporaries said about him.
It was equally important to study the family ties of the hero of the portrait and correlate them between the five or six
generations depicted in these portraits, which is often difficult to understand at first glance. In our house we didn’t hang
portraits by era or proximity of family ties, but here we adhere to at least some kind of system.
To the
portraits
we also added several
photographs
of close relatives, without a description of whose lives the story of the
Ilyins would be incomplete.
Almost all the
estates
of the Ilyins and their relatives were destroyed and disappeared from the face of the earth, along with
the way of life that existed there and stories about how they were bought (
Arkatovo
), built (
Petrovo
) or inherited
(
Tagashevo
,
Cheremyshevo
), mortgaged, sued in disputes with relatives (
Tagashevo
), divided among children (the same
Petrovo
), lost at cards (
Nadezhdino
,
Srednyaya Iya
) or squandered in other ways. As for
Kazan houses
, some of them can
still be seen.
