Notes

Alexander Nikolaevich Raevsky (1795-1868) - participant in the Patriotic War of 1812 (colonel), Odessa friend and rival of Pushkin, addressee of his famous poem "The Demon".

The eldest son of General N. N. Raevsky and granddaughter of M. V. Lomonosov Sofya Alekseevna, nee Konstantinova. He was brought up in a boarding school at Moscow University. He began his service in 1810 in the Simbirsk Grenadier Regiment. As part of the 5th Jaeger Regiment, he took part in the Patriotic War and foreign campaigns. Since 1817 - Colonel. In 1819 he was seconded to the Caucasian separate corps. In 1824 he was dismissed.

In December 1825, after an uprising on Senate Square, he was arrested on suspicion of involvement in a conspiracy, but was soon acquitted and released from arrest. During the investigation, he behaved with dignity, did not name anyone, said that he knew nothing about the secret society. After his release, on behalf of his father, Alexander remained in St. Petersburg for some time to keep abreast of how the investigation of their relatives was going. When it became known that M.N. Volkonskaya intended to share the fate of her husband and follow him to hard labor, Alexander led a real family conspiracy to prevent her from doing this.

Raevsky met A. S. Pushkin in the Caucasus, where he went for treatment and where he served in the Caucasian Corps. They saw each other in the North Caucasus, in the Crimea, in Kamenka, in Kyiv and in Odessa. Later we met in Moscow. But from the previous relationship, a bitter residue remained in Pushkin's soul - and communication was not resumed.

At one time, this man struck the imagination of the poet. He seemed extraordinary. Tall, thin, wearing glasses, with an intelligent, mocking look of small dark eyes, Alexander Raevsky behaved enigmatically, spoke in paradoxes. Pushkin predicted an extraordinary future for him. It is believed that the features of Raevsky are reflected in Pushkin's "Demon". But fate decreed otherwise. The brilliant mind of Raevsky, denying and ridiculing everything, could not create anything. The young man who promised so much became bilious and envious, as his well-known foe Philip Vigel writes:

Even in the winter, I sensed the danger for Pushkin, did not allow myself to give him advice, but once jokingly told him that, due to his African origin, I still want to compare him with Othello, and Raevsky with his unfaithful friend Iago. A few days after my arrival in Odessa, the alarmed Pushkin ran to me to tell me that the greatest displeasure was being prepared for him. At this time, several of the lowest officials from the office of the governor-general, as well as from government offices, were dispatched for the possible extermination of locusts crawling across the steppe; Pushkin was among them. Nothing could be more humiliating for him...

According to Vigel, it was Raevsky who suggested sending the poet to combat pests. He played with the feelings of the poet together with the governor's wife Vorontsova; rumors suspected them of a love affair. Only later did Pushkin discover the true face of the one whom he considered his friend.

In 1826 he received the court rank of chamberlain, served as an official for special assignments under the governor of Novorossia M. S. Vorontsov, whose adjutant he was back in 1813. In 1827, after a conflict with Vorontsov, which broke out because of the insane passion of Alexander Raevsky for Countess Elizaveta Ksaveryevna Vorontsova, he retired.

Raevsky was exiled to Poltava, where he lived without a break. Only in the autumn of 1829, by special permission, was he allowed to go to Boltyshka to visit his dying father. After the departure of his mother and sisters to Italy, Alexander Nikolaevich took over the management of Boltyshka, began to put in order the disordered economy of the estate. He regularly sent money to Italy, dealt with the property and financial affairs of M.N. Volkonskaya. Only in 1834 did he receive the right to settle in Moscow. His appearance in the world of the capital could not go unnoticed, although by this time his "demonic" charm was no longer the same, he still remained cynical, prudent, who loved to embarrass secular decency.

In November 1834, Raevsky married Ekaterina Petrovna Kindyakova (1812-1839), daughter of Pyotr Vasilyevich and Alexandra Vasilievna Kindyakov; her sister Elizaveta Petrovna (1805-1854), in 1824 she married Prince I. A. Lobanov-Rostovsky, and after a divorce from him she became the wife of A. V. Pashkov.

The history of Raevsky's marriage showed that his character had not changed at all. The Kindyakovs' house was one of the few houses that took on the mission of revitalizing Moscow and gathering the best color of society. The daughter of the Kindyakovs, twenty-two-year-old Ekaterina, was considered the pearl of Muscovites. In 1833 Sushkova E.A. in her diary she wrote about Kindyakova:

... Ekaterina Kindyakova is a meteor, this is a miracle ... Rather bad than beautiful; well built, but too small in stature; the head is upturned, the nose is pimpled and upturned, the arms hang; gallops like a magpie, and light as lead; moreover, a grimace, affected and a coquette ... She and her relatives invent in a terrible way. As soon as one of the gentlemen appears in their house, they rush to spread the rumor that this is a rejected groom - and these gentlemen in reality only laugh at her, despite her wealth, undoubtedly exaggerated and multiplied by the reviews of her loved ones.

In the family of Major General Pyotr Vasilievich Kindyakov, Alexander Raevsky was accepted. Ekaterina Kindyakova even told him her heartfelt secret. She loved Ivan Putyata, but his mother forbade him to marry, and then she married the attorney of her love - Alexander Raevsky. A.I. Turgenev wrote in his diary:

... He undertook to woo her for another, and he got married. The story is the most scandalous and quarreled half of Moscow.

Pushkin, having met the Raevsky couple in May 1836, wrote to his wife:

... Raevsky, who seemed to me a little dull last time, seems to have revived and wised up again.

His wife is not a beauty herself - they say she is very smart.

The newlyweds settled with the Kindyakovs, in a large stone house on Bolshaya Dmitrovka. But the couple did not live long - five years after the wedding in 1839, Ekaterina Petrovna died, leaving her husband a three-week-old daughter, Alexander. Now Raevsky's whole life was devoted to raising his daughter.

Alexander Nikolaevich very profitably disposed of his inheritance and his wife's dowry, grew rich, put money into growth. His daughter could shine at balls with diamonds.

In 1861 she married Count Ivan Grigoryevich Nostitz. But in 1863, the young countess died after childbirth, like her mother. Until the end of his life, A. Raevsky remained inconsolable.

The last years of Raevsky's life were lonely abroad. And the loneliness of this unfortunate man was a consequence of his character.

Raevsky died in October 1868 in Nice at the age of seventy-three. ...

at one time he was suspected of involvement in the Decembrists' conspiracy, he was even arrested in Belaya Tserkov and taken into custody, but later he was released. He in every way prevented his sister from leaving for Siberia and later broke off relations with her. With all these unpleasant facts, Alexander had one weakness - he was madly in love with his only daughter Alexandrina. He married late, and his wife Catherine died suddenly quite young. The inconsolable widower devoted all his energy and unspent love to guarding his daughter. This very controversial type lived an atypically long life for the Volkonskys - 73 years.

Pushkin, as literary critics said, “idolized Raevsky, was drawn to him, reached the edge in his passion, suffered from him, then hated him, and finally outlived himself.” The poet abruptly and forever broke off relations with Alexander Raevsky, having learned that he had achieved the expulsion of Pushkin from Odessa by secret intrigues.

In April 1819, Raevsky was dismissed "until the disease was cured" to the Caucasian waters, seconded to the Caucasian Corps and, while under Yermolov (his father's relative), participated in expeditions against the highlanders. In June 1820, Raevsky met Pushkin, who came to the Caucasus with the family of N. N. Raevsky. Upon returning from there, he lived with his grandmother, Countess A.V. Branitskaya, in the White Church, and here he became close to Countess E.K. Vorontsova. Having moved to Odessa, upon the appointment here of Count M. S. Vorontsov as Governor-General (May 1823), he constantly visited his house as a relative; they say that to cover up his relationship with the countess, he took advantage of Pushkin, who soon paid with exile to the village; On October 1, 1824, Raevsky retired and lived - depending on where Vorontsova was - either in Odessa or in the White Church; here he was arrested (December 29, 1825) in the case of the Decembrists, brought to St. rank stayed only until October 1827; in July of the following year, Vorontsov, under the pretext that Raevsky had said some impudence to his wife, and also spoke disapprovingly of the government, obtained the Highest order to deport him to Poltava, with a ban on leaving the province. In 1829, Raevsky only came to his dying father with special permission, but after his death he settled on his estate; only a few years later he was allowed to move to Moscow.

G. Nostitz, he moved to Nice, where he died on October 23, 1868.

The connection with Pushkin had long ago drawn attention to the peculiar personality of Raevsky; the poet was friendly with him, while living in Odessa, he corresponded and at one time was strongly influenced by his "caustic speeches" that poured into his soul "cold poison". Pushkin's poems "Demon" and "Angel" belong to him, or maybe be, and “Insidiousness.” The oddities of Raevsky’s character showed up early, despite his remarkable, but one-sided mind, already in 1820, his father wrote about him: “I am looking for manifestations of love, sensitivity in him and do not find them. He does not argue, but argues, and the more wrong he is, the more unpleasant his tone becomes, even to the point of rudeness ... His mind is inside out ... I think that he does not believe in love, since he himself does not experience it and does not Vigel left an extremely harsh review of Raevsky; saying that he was distinguished by some kind of "hostile feeling towards all of humanity," he writes: "There was no ambition in him, but from a mixture of excessive pride, laziness, cunning and envy his character was composed ... His appearance still retained some pleasantness, although bodily and mental ailments had already withered him and wrinkled his forehead "; he was characterized by some kind of demonic malice that made him hate those who did him good, destroy happiness wherever he noticed it.M. V. Yuzefovich testifies that Raevsky, “really, had something in himself that crushed the soul of others; the strength of his charm lay in a sharp and caustic denial ... Pushkin in Odessa went to see him in the evenings, having permission to put out the candles in order to talk with him more freely in the dark.
