Descendants of Yusupov in our time. The last of Yusupova

Again I found a house with interesting legendary inhabitants. This beautiful building is located on the casting prospectus. Usually I drove by, turning from Belinsky Street. This house is not impossible to notice. It stands out among the rest and immediately attracts attention.

Knyagini Zinaida Yusupova House
Having done a few photos, I decided to study the history of his tenants and again found a mystical topic. This house was built in 1858 for the princess Zinaida Ivanovna Yusupova (nee Naryshkin), which was destined to encounter the curse of the genus. With the life of this lady, legends are also connected.

According to the family legend, the genus yusup was cursed. Yusupov were the descendants of the Nogai Khan Yusuva, who came to the service of Ivan Grozny. One day, one of Yusupova - Abdul Mirza decided to surprise the Patriarch who came to him. He filed a guest "Fish". When Patriarch graduated from the meal, the hospitable owner said that it was a goose - pushing the art of his chef, who can cook goose how to cook. It happened as long as the Christian was allowed only to fish, but not meat. Having learned about his mistake, Abdul Mirza was frightened to get into opal and lose his property. Razing, he informed his decision to adopt Christianity.

The news of the betrayal of faith was indignant to the compatriots Yusupov. According to the legend, the Nogai sorceress cursed Abdul Mirez. The witch imposed a spell "Of all those born in one generation of Yusupovy to twenty-six years, there will be only one to live, and it will continue until the genus will continue." They said that in the dream, Yusupov was the angry prophet Mohammed.

Damn it came true, from all the children born under the age of 26 survived only one, the rest were dying.

Mistress of the house Zinaida Yusupova (nee Naryshkin)

Boris Yusupov. The first husband of Princess Zinaida - Boris Yusupov was over her for 15 years. Their wedding took place in 1827, the bride was 18 years old, the bridegroom - 33 years. The husband died in 1849 at the age of 55.

Zinaida Ivanovna gave birth to the firstborn - the son of Nicholas. The second child was a daughter who died in infancy. After the death of the daughter, the princess learned about the curse - that only one of her children is destined to live under 26 years. Having survived the mountain, Zinaida stated her husband, which refuses to "give birth to the dead" and insisted on the termination of married relations. The husband did not mind. Spouses lived in peace and harmony, separately every person's personal life. Them the only son Nikolai experienced the fatal frontier - 26 years.

Contemporaries recalled that during the wedding of Yusupov and Naryshkina there was a "bad sign". The wedding ring of the bride slipped out of the hands and was paying so far that it was necessary to bring another. Note came true, most family life Spouses lived separately.

The genus Yusupov was famous for its wealth. Boris Yusupov managed to multiply the welfare of the genus.
Prince Boris explained his success in commerce with his reasonable attitude towards his subordinate. "You must know my thoughts that all wealth I supplies my peasants in the prosperity of my peasants ... The turning line is then rich when the peasants are in good condition and when they bless their lots" He wrote to the manager.

Knyagini Yusupova House in the 19th century

Princess House today

Princess Zinaida Ivanovna was one of the first beauties and survived many love adventures.

Mistress of the secular salon Dolly Fikelmon wrote about yusupova:
"High, thin, with a charming waist, with a completely logged head, her beautiful black eyes, a very lively face with a fun expression that is so wonderful to her."
It was rumored that the emperor Nicholas I drew attention to the princess, the secular gossip of Dolly wrote: "The immutable kindness of the emperor and the pleasure that he is experiencing, stopping his gaze on a beautiful and exquisite person, is the only reason that makes him continue to show her respect."

Zinaida Yusupov
In 1830, a young princess began a novel with an officer Nikolai Zherwe. Their love story, lambering 11 years, ended sadly. Zhereva was killed in 1841 in the Caucasus. Before the departure of Zhereva to war, his buddy Mikhail Lobanov-Rostov, wrote with concern: "He has such a species as if he would die in the first case." These words were prophetic.

Having learned about the death of Zhereva, Empress Alexander Fedorovna recorded in his diary: "Sigh of Lermontov, about his broken Lira, which promised Russian literature to become her outstanding star. Two sighs about Zhereva, about his too-faithful heart, this is a courageous heart, which only with his death stopped fighting for this windy zinaida "

Zinaida Yusupov
Soon in the world discussed the Roman Knugini with young pests. When they sharpened the fortress, Yusupov agreed that the lover would go to her at night. There is a legend that when a young man died, she hired medicines to breathe his body. Zinaida buried his beloved in the wall at home next to his bedroom. The princess wished that after death the lover was next to her.

In the walls of his house, the princess Zinaida Yusupova buried the mummy of the deceased lover

But the world of living turned out to be more attractive. In 1861, the princess, which was 52 years old, married an officer de Chavo and held last years Life with her husband in Paris. So that their marriage does not look Mesallians, she bought a count title for her husband. The was a passion for the dead was forgotten.

Perhaps the ghost of the revolutionary buried in the wall of the house still wanders along the corridors, waiting for the return of windy princes.

In this church, at the House of Princess, her wedding was held with the officer de Shevo.

The house was inherited by the Lord of Zinaida - Felix Yusupov, famous for the murder of Rasputin.
Lived Zinaida Yusupova 83 years old.

Prince Prince Felix wrote in his "memoirs": "My Prelbank was a written beauty, there was a fun, there was not one adventure ...

... So I see Prababeka, like on the throne, in a deep chair, and on the back of the chair over it three crowns: Princess, Countess, Marquis. In the gift, that the old woman, she remained beautiful and kept the royalness of the manner and posture. Sit down the vibrant, scented, in red wig and leaving pearl beads. "

However, the curse again reminded itself. The granddaughter of the princess, which also called Zinaida, was seriously ill. In 1878, she hurt her leg during the horseback walk, which led to blood infection. Zinaida yusupova-younger was 23 years old. When she was already reconciled with the thought of death, John Kronstadt, famous for his gift healer appeared to her in a dream. Waking up, Princess asked to call the father of John.

Zinaida Yusupova-Junior, in the features of the face there is a similarity with grandmother
John Kronstadsky responded to the request of the lady. When he entered the room dying, the famous Botkin doctor who trusted the treatment of Princess, said "Help us." To the surprise of skeptics, the visit of John Kronstadt helped young yusupova, and she recovered.
The curse of the kind of princess learned after the death of his younger sister Tanechki and felt the guilt, as if by his recovery to the sister to death.

Tatyana Yusupova, who has become a victim of curse

Zinaida and Tatyana Yusupov
The Bulgarian Prince Battenberg woven the Bulgarian Prince of Battenberg, but the prince of Felix Sumarok-Elston, who accompanied the prince attacked the prince. Elston made an offer to Yusupova the day after the acquaintance.

Felix's son describes the choice of Mother:
"Her hands asked famous Europeans, including the August, but she refused to everyone, wanting to choose a spouse to their taste. The grandfather dreamed of seeing her daughter on the throne and was now upset that she was not ambiguous. And it was completely upset, having learned that she was coming out of the count of Sumarok Elston, a simple guards officer. "

Unlike grandmother, the life of which turned out to be very violent, Zinaida Yusupova-younger loved her husband and kept her loyalty.

For the surname of the kind of yusupov's surname, Zinaida's husband took her surname. Usually, if there was no son-the heir's son, the parents of the heiress insisted that her husband would take their surname - so children and grandchildren will receive the name of the genus. If the groom himself was a descendant of an ancient name and also took care of the continuation of the kind, the surname became double - the surname of her husband and the surname of his wife.

Zinaida Yusupova-younger had two sons Nikolai and Felix. She hoped that the curse would finally retreat from their family.

Zinaida Yusupova-younger with her husband Felix and Sons Nikolai and Felix.
"Mother was delightful. High, thin, elegant, smoothed and black, with shiny, like stars, eyes. Smart, educated, artist, good. Choram no one could resist her ...
... everywhere where Mother came, she carried the light with him. Her eyes shone kindness and meekness. She dressed her elegant and strictly. Did not love jewels, although possessed the best in the world, and wore them only in special cases "- recalled the son Felix.

Zinaida Yusupova-younger with sons
Despite the wealth, Yusupov brought up sons in rigor, not allowing to extol themselves over others. Felix wrote about the upbringing of the Mother:
"But she did not quit with his best, and there was simplicity itself and modesty. The more given to you, "she repeated to me and brother," all the more you should be different. Be modest. If you are higher than others, God forbid you show them it. "

But the curse again came true. The eldest son Nicholas died in 1908 on a duel on the eve of his 26th anniversary. He was in love with Marina Gayden, who married a gauge of the mantefelle. Nicholas in love followed Marina even during her wedding travel. An outrageous spouse caused a fan of his wife on a duel, the shot turned out to be fatal.

Senior Son Knyagini Yusupova - Nikolay, who died on a duel on the eve of the 26th anniversary
Felix Yusupov described the tragedy of the family:
"Running screams were distributed from the father's room. I entered and saw him, very pale, before the stretchers, where the body of Nicholas was spread out. The mother standing in front of his knees seemed to be deprived of the reason. With great difficulty, we broke it off from the body of the Son and put in bed. Having calmed down a bit, she called me, but, seeing, accepted for his brother. It was an unbearable scene. Then the mother fell into prostration, and when she came to himself, he did not let me go for a second. "

Thus looked "rocking specials" for which Nikolai Yusupov died, an inconspicuous young lady
Thank you ducesselisa. which found a photo
Zinaida Yusupova-Younger possessed the gift of foresight and anticipate the tragedy royal family. She tried to warn Nicholas II and his spouse, but unsuccessfully. Too late, the emperor believed that her premonitions of the princess were not in vain.
As written by Felix Yusupov:
"In 1917, Life Medic, Dentist Kastritsky, returning from Tobolsk, where the royal family was arrested, reading us the last state of the message passed to him:
"When you see the Princess Yusupov, tell her what I understood how correct was its warnings. If they were listened to them, many tragedies would be escape. "

Felix Yusupov with wife Irina
Felix Yusupova and his wife Irina had one daughter - named after Mother Irina. When marriage, she took the surname of her husband - Sheremetyeva.

Nowadays, the descendants of Yusupov are alive.

Ksenia Sphiri - a descendant of yuspev
Ksenia has one daughter - Tatiana Sphiri (P.1968), which has two children - Marily (r. 2004) and Jasmine-Ksenia (r. 2006). Girls do not wear yusupov name, it means that they will not affect the curse.

Source of information: Curse of the genus Yusupova, Magazine "Traveler" No.3 (23), 2000.

Yusupov's generators - from Abubekira, the testa of the prophet, who ruled after Mohammed (about 570-632) to all Muslim native. Three centuries, after him, the co-marital his Abubekir Ben-Rayaks was also ruled by all Muslims of the world and wore the title of Emir El Omra, Prince Prince and Sultan Sultanov, combining his government and spiritual power repaying his own. Prince N. B. Yusupov-Jr. notes: "It was a supreme sovereign of the uninstalled Niga and luxury of Kalima of the Billage, who granted him all the power in the spiritual and secular meaning."

In the era of the fall of Califat, the direct ancestors of the Russian princes of Yusupov were rulers in Damascus, Antioch, Iraq, Persia, Egypt ... Other of them are buried in Mecca, on Mount Hira, where Muhammed opened the text of the Quran; In Kaaba himself, sacred for Muslims, or near her, is Baba-Tites and two sons of him, Abbas and Abdurahman. Sultan Termes, the third son of Baba-Tites (16th Knee from Abubekira Ben-Rayoka), persecuted by hostile circumstances, moved to the north of Arabia, to the shores of the Azov and Caspian Seas, fascinating the Muslims devoted to him. The Nogai Horde, which appeared as a state between the Volga and the Urals, was the consequence of the resettlement of Sultan Termes.

Now it becomes clear full equality Marriage, concluded in 1914 between Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov and the Grand Prince Irina Alexandrovna Romanova, the niece of the reigning emperor Nicholas II: both spouses were royal origin.

The direct descendant of Termes named Ediga was in the nearest and close friendship with Tamerlane himself, or Timur, - "Iron Chrome" and the Great Conqueror. Edigi was appointed Chief Communion Timur. Mongolian Hordes Tokhtamysh burned Moscow and moved themselves at Tamerlan. Edea came out to Tahtamyshu and killed him in martial arts before the army. Lithuanian Prince Vitovt suffered a crushing defeat from Edigia on the Vorskle River in 1339. Tamerlanov friend posted a tribute to the son of Dmitry Don Prince Vasily Dmitrievich. Finally, Edeeei won the Crimea and founded the Crimean Horde there.

Ediaus's greatness called Musa-Murza (Prince Moses, in Russian) and had five wives on custom. The first, beloved, called the Conda. Yusuf was born from her and was born of a kind of yusupov. Twenty years of Yusuf-Murza was friends with the John Grozny himself, the Russian king. The descendant of Emirov considered it necessary to make friends and encourage Muslim-neighbors, "fragments" of the Mongol-Tatar invasion on Russia. The four daughters of Yusuf became the wives of the kings of the Krymsky, Astrakhan, Kazan and Siberian. The latter was the same Kuchma, whom she conquered his Donets-Kazakov Timofeevich at the head of his Donets-Kazakov.

Here is the second portrait in the gallery of the twelve portraits of the Moscow Yusupov Palace - Beautiful Suudek, Queen Kazanskaya, Favorite daughter Yusufa Murza. She was born in 1520 and 14 years old became the wife of the king of Kazan Enaalea. In the same year, Enalya was killed by his subjects and Kazan returned to the kingdom of them before the expected Crimean king Saf-Gurya.

Best days

Beauty comes out the secondary, now for saf-gas; Soon she had the only son of the Utems-Gary. Saf-Gary introduced Kazan execution. Kazan citizens announcing. Yunus, Son Yusuf, decided to enhance the Saf-Hire and went to Kazan. But Saf-Gary deceived Yunus. And then Yusuf, and Yunus began to face Ivan the Terrible. Saf-Gary washed and crashed on the steps of his own palace.

Suudek was a second time in the widow and Queen of Kazan. Her two-year-old son Utemshis-Gury was proclaimed by the king Kazan. When the Russian king triggered with the army under the walls of Kazan, the beautiful Suudek put on the lats and helmet, having remembered that she was the ruler of Kazan, and became the head of the defenders of the city. At first she tried to call for the rescue of his father and brother, but they remained a faithful agreement with John IV.

Suudeka so brilliantly led the defense of Kazan, that the famous Russian commander Prince Andrei Kurbsky could not take the city attack, and the case was solved by a secret manner and the explosion of the walls of the city. Queen Kazan was taken to Moscow with Honor with her son. And in Kazan, repeated in the architecture of the Moscow Kazan station, forever remained a seed-tier SUBEKEKIN Tower with a height of about 35 seats, deciding the Kazan Kremlin.

On this history of beauties does not end. Ivan Grozny put the king in Kazan Shih-Alya. But he was soon forced to flee into Moscow, where he married ... Syubek. Yusufa-Murza's daughter is married for the third time. Shih-aley receives the city of Kasimov (Gorodets) and the title of King Casimovsky. In Casimov, he moves with his beautiful wife.

And the Utems-Gurya, Son Syubeki, baptized in Moscow. Shi-aley died in Kasimov and buried in 1567 in the local tomb. The beautiful queen died earlier than him, in 1557, having lived only 37 years. Probably, her grave is also in Kasimov. In any case, her descendant - the Russian prince Nikolai Borisovich Yusupov-Jr. believes so when he writes in his book: "Scarlet Rosehip with a Milky Cherry shines a forgotten tomb with flowers!"

In Russia, the charm of the adorable image of Sumpek lived for a very long time. Russians called her wizard. And the Russian poets made her image one of the most poetic in world literature. I would take the presence of a six-legged star in the princely coat of arms of Yusupovy to the image of the beautiful Suymbaek.

Poet Hranskov, the author of the famous "Russians", made the Kazan Queen the main heroine his poem, one of the best in russian XVIII. century. At the beginning of the XIX century on the scenes of Moscow and St. Petersburg, the Pieces of Georgiantsova "The conquered Kazan" and Glinka "of Sumbek, or the fall of Kazan" go. Finally, in 1832, the scene saw the ballet Count Kuttysov "Sumbek, or the conquest of the Kazan kingdom." Pushkin was on the play, in which the role of Suymbaei performed by sneaking them in the "Onegin" ballerina Inturizer.

Sons of Yusufa-Murza, the Syubeki brothers came to the court of John the Terrible, and since then they and their descendants began to serve Russian states, without changing the Muslim faith and receiving award for the service. So, Il-Murze King Fyodor Ioannovich was granted on the banks of the Volga under Yaroslavl whole city Romanov with possession (now the city of Tutaev). In that beautiful city, Before the revolution wearing the name of Romanov-Borisoglebsk, - the abundance of churches on both banks of the Volga and also - the ruins of the ancient mosque. It was in this city that an event occurred, steeply changed the fate and the history of the Yusupov kind.

The case was in the reign of Fyodor Alekseevich. The great-grandmother of Yusufa-Murza named Abdul Murza took the Patriarch of Joachim in Romanov. Historian M. I. Dustyev recalled: "Once a brilliant Wiel, Prince Nikolai Borisovich Yusupov was a duty chamber-junker during lunch in Catherine Great. On the table was served goose.

Will you know, prince, cut a goose? Catherine asked Yusupov.

Oh, goose should be very memorable my last name! - answered the prince. "My ancestor ate one to the great Friday and for that of several thousand peasants, complained to him."

I would take away all the estate, because it was given to him with the condition that he did not eat the rapid on his very night, - he noticed the jokingly about the story of the Empress. "

So, Praded Nikolai Borisovich Yusupova treated Patriarch and, for ignorance of Orthodox posts, fed him to Gusem. The Patriarch took a goose for the fish, took and praised, and the owner take yes, say: this is, they say, not a fish, and goose, and my cook is so skillful, which can cook goose for fish. The Patriarch was angry and on his return to Moscow told the whole history of the tsar Fedor Alekseevich Tsar deprived Abdul Murza all awards, and the rich overnight became a beggar. He tensely thought for three days and decided to be baptized in the Orthodox faith. Abdul-Murza, the son of Seyusha-Murza, was baptized by Dmitry and came up with himself a surname in the memory of the ancestor of His Yusuf: Yusupovo-Knyazhevo. So Dmitry Seushevich Yusupovo-Knyazhevo appeared in Russia.

Dmitry Seushevich married Princess Tatiana Feodorovna Corcodinova, and according to the prediction, only one son inherited Father. It was Grigory Dmitrievich, who served Peter Great, Lieutenant-General, who Peter commanded to be called simply prince Yusupov. Grigory Dmitrievich also has only one son lived to mature years - Prince Boris Grigorievich Yusupov, the former Governor of Moscow. It is curious that at different times, two representatives of the glorious surname occupied this post: except Boris Grigorievich, the Governor General in 1915 was Felix Feliksovich Prince Yusupov, Count Sumarok-Elston.

The son of B. G. Yusupova is perhaps the most famous from the glorious surname. Prince Nikolai Borisovich (1750-1831) - one of the richest nobles of Russia: there was not only province, but even the county, wherever he had a village or manor. This year marks 250 years since the birth of this wonderful person. Nikolai Borisovich was the first director of the Hermitage, and the Russian Messenger in Italy, and the Mining Committee of the Kremlin Expedition and the Armory Chamber, as well as all theaters of Russia. He created the "near Moscow Versailles" - amazing on the beauty and wealth of the estate of Arkhangelsk, where twice, in 1827 and 1830, was visited by A. S. Pushkin. A poetic message of the Great Poet of Prince Yusupov, written in Moscow in 1830, is known:

I'm going to you; I will see this palace,

Where zirkul architecture, palette and cutter

Choir whims were obeyed

And inspired in magic competed.

Pushkin B. early childhood He lived with his parents in the Moscow Palace of Prince, in the Big Charitionevsky Lane. The images of a dicker in Eastern Garden, surrounding the palace, then reflected in the prologue "Ruslan and Lyudmila". Here the poet will bring his favorite heroine Tatyana Larina in the seventh chapter "Evgenia Onegin" - "to Moscow to the Bride Fair":

Kharitonia in Lane

Warning before the house at the gate

Has stopped...

Yes, and Tatyana Poet simply relates to the princely native of Yusupov: After all, they came to visit Tatyana's aunt, Princess Alina, and in the 20s of the last century in Moscow in the Yusupov Palace, Princess Alina - Sister N. B. Yusupova Alexander Borisovna really lived. A number of reflections of the poet's conversations with Prince Yusupov found in the images of the famous bolden autumn Pushkin, and when the prince died, he would write the poet in the letter: "My yusupov died."

However, let's turn to the further links of the genus and the accompanying Rock. Boris Nikolayevich, Camger, Son N. B. Yusupova, lived mainly in St. Petersburg and also left the only heir - Prince Nikolai Borisovich Yusupova-Jr. It was a talented musician and writer, vice director of the St. Petersburg Public Library, married to Duchess Tatiana Aleksandrovna de Ribopiere. At Prince Nicolae Borisovich-younger stopped the men's line of ancient kind.

The only heiress - the beauty and richest bride of Russia Zinaida Nikolaevna Prinja Yusupova, whose portraits wrote the best artists of that time of Serov and Makovsky, - married M. I. Kutuzov and the grandson of the Prussian king of Russian graph Felix Feliksovich Sumaro-Elston, Lieutenant General, Governor of Moscow. And emperor Alexander IIIBy satisfying the request of the prince N. B. Yusupov-Jr., in order not to stop the famous name, he resolves the Count Sumarokov-Elston to refer to the prince of Yusupov. This title was supposed to move towards a senior of sons.

In a happy marriage, two sons were born and rose, both graduated from Oxford University. The older was the name of the prince Nikolai Felixovich Yusupov (1883-1908). Parents have already become forgotten about terrible prediction, when Nikolai Felixovich loved the woman on the eve of their 26th anniversary of Nikolai Felixovich, whose husband called him a duel and ... killed. Duel took place in St. Petersburg on the Cross Island in June 1908, in the estate of the Princes of Belosel-Belozerski. Nikolai both times shot into the air ... "The body was placed in the chapel," Felix's younger brother wrote, to which the title of Prince Yusupova. The prince of Nikolai Feliksovich was buried in the Arkhangelsk near Moscow.

Shocked parents, burying the eldest son, are built in the Arkhangelsk temple-tomb where the last shelter of the princes of yusupov should be found. The temple was erected by the famous Moscow architect R. I. Klein until 1916. The revolution was killed, and the temple never took a single burial under his arches. So it costs it today a monument to the terrible curse of the kind of princes of Yusupovy, opening the wings of the colonnade towards the fate ...

Links to the Internet, articles, books, libraries, etc. I will be grateful to you, with respect, Diana Tamerlanovna.

The history of the genus yusupov.

Sons of Yusufa-Murza, the Syubeki brothers came to the court of John the Terrible, and since then they and their descendants began to serve Russian states, without changing the Muslim faith and receiving award for the service. So, Il-Murze King Fedor Ioannovich was granted on the banks of the Volga under Yaroslavl a whole city of Romanov with possession (now the city of Tutaev).

He tensely thought for three days and decided to be baptized in the Orthodox faith. Abdul-Murza, the son of Seyusha-Murza, was baptized by Dmitry and came up with himself a surname in the memory of the ancestor of His Yusuf: Yusupovo-Knyazhevo. So Dmitry Seushevich Yusupovo-Knyazhevo appeared in Russia.

Family coat of arms Yusupova

But the same night was a vision. A distinct voice said: "From now on, more than one male heir in every knee will not be in your knee in every knee, and if there are more of them, then everything, except one, will not live a share of 26 years."
Dmitry Seushevich married Princess Tatiana Feodorovna Corcodinova, and according to the prediction, only one son inherited Father. It was Grigory Dmitrievich, who served Peter Great, Lieutenant-General, who Peter commanded to be called simply prince Yusupov. Grigory Dmitrievich also has only one son lived to mature years - Prince Boris Grigorievich Yusupov, the former Governor of Moscow.

Why the curse sounded so vessels, it is difficult to say, but it came true strictly. No matter how many children do not bother - up to twenty-six lived only one.
At the same time, on the well-being of the family, such a zyibility of the kind did not affect. By 1917, Yusupov was the second for wealth after Romanov. They owned 250 thousand decishes of the Earth, they were owners of sugar, brick, sawmill factories, factories and mines, the annual revenue from which was more than 15 million gold rubles. And the luxury of Yusupovsky palaces could envy the Grand Princes. For example, the rooms of Zinaida Nikolaevna in Arkhangelsk and in the palace in St. Petersburg were furnished with the furniture of the executed French queen Maria-Antoinette. Picture gallery in its selection competed with the Hermitage. And the jewelry of Zinaida Nikolaevna included treasures that previously belonged to almost all royal yards of Europe. So, the magnificent pearl "Pelegrin", with which the princess never parted and depicted on all portraits, belonged to once Philip II and was considered the main decoration of the Spanish crown.
However, Zinaida Nikolaevna did not consider richness with happiness, and the unfortunate yusupov made a curse of the Tatar sordlenda.

Grandma de Shvo.
Of all Yusupov, perhaps, only the grandmother Zinaida Nikolaevna - Countess de Chavo - managed to avoid great suffering because of the untimely death of their children.
Naryshkin's nee, Zinaida Ivanovna married Boris Nikolayevich Yusupov even a very young girl, gave birth to him his son, then a daughter who deceased with childbirth and only after that he learned about the family curse.

Being a woman is judicious, she stated her husband that "give birth to the dead" is not going to "give birth, but if he didn't go down," let the courtyard girls ", and she will not object. So it lasted until 1849, when old prince Died.
Zinaida Ivanovna was no forty, and she, as if they said, went into all the grave. Legends went about her dizzying novels, but the greatest noise endowed her passion for young people. When sharpened in Shlisselburg Fortress, the princess refused secular fun, followed him and bribes and promises achieved that he was released at night.
This story was well known, she was shuffled, but oddly enough Zinaida Ivanovna did not condemn, recognizing the right of the magnitude of the princess on the madness of A La de Balzak.
Then suddenly everything ended, for some time she lived by a closer on the foundry, but then, having married a ruined, but the trotting Frenchman, he left Russia, refused the title of Princess Yusupova and became referred to as the Countess de Supvo, Marquis de Serr.
On history with young people, Yusupov recalled after the revolution. One of the emigrant newspapers printed a message that, trying to find Yusupov's treasures, the Bolsheviks narrowed all the walls of the palace on the casting prospectus. The jewels were not found, but they found the secret room adjacent to the bedroom, in which the coffin was stood with a harnessed man. Most likely, this was the one sentenced to death, the peopling, whose body was bought and transported to St. Petersburg.

Miracles of the Saint Starta
However, with all the diversion of the life of Zinaida Naryshkina-Yusupova-de Chavo-de Serr, in the family it was honored with happy. All husbands died in old age, the daughter lost in childbirth, when it did not have time to get used to her, I loved a lot, I didn't refuse yourself, and I died surrounded by my relatives. In the rest, despite their unpretentious wealth, the life has developed much dramatic.

Nikolai Yusupov

The son of Zinaida Ivanovna, Nikolai Borisovich Yusupov, was three children - the son of Boris and the daughter of Zinaida and Tatiana. Boris died in infancy from Scarlantine, but the daughters rose not only very beautiful, but most importantly - healthy girls. Parents were happy until in 1878 with Zinaida did not happen in misfortune.
Autumn of that year, the family spent in Arkhangelsk. Prince Nikolai Borisovich, Honorary Guardian, Hofmeister of the courtyard, being engaged in the service, came rarely and briefly. The princess acquainted daughters with Moscow relatives and arranged musical evenings. IN free time Tatiana read, and the older Zinaida made horseback riding. During one of them, the girl coughed her leg. At first, the wound appeared insignificant, but soon the temperature was raised, and Dr. Botkin, caused to the estate, put a hopeless diagnosis - blood infection. Soon the girl fell into unimlessness, and the family prepared for the worst.
Then Zinaida Nikolaevna told that in the infamony, her father, John Kronstadsky, was familiar with their family. Having come to himself, she asked him to call him, and after the old man had arrived for her, she began to recover. At the same time, the princess has always added that he did not hear about the family legend, and did not know that the younger sister carries his recovery to death.
Tanya died from Tifa at twenty-two years.

Lightning strike
From the once rich Yusupov archives in Russia has little left. "Drunk sailus" - as described it in his memoirs Felix Yusupov - was looking for, first of all, jewelry, and incomprehensible papers came across. So the invaluable library and the archive of Alexander Blok died, burned in the fires of the archives of almost all the noble families of Russia. Now restore the labor chronicles account for acts preserved in state archives.
Yusupov no exception. To fully trust the memories of Felix Yusupov, he sees his role in the murder of Rasputin, rather subjectively reveals revolutionary events. But because of the proximity to the imperial family, the family chronicle of Yusupov is not difficult to restore.
After the illness of the eldest daughter, Nikolai Borisovich Yusupov became particularly persistent in the matter of her marriage. As I remembered Zinaida Nikolaevna, a lot of Knuckle was afraid that he would not see her grandchildren.
And soon, not wanting to upset the father of Princess agreed to get acquainted with the next applicant on her hand - the relative of the emperor, the Bulgarian prince Battenberg. The applicant for the Bulgarian throne was accompanied by a modest officer Felix Elston, whose duties were to submit to the Prince of the future bride and declared. Zinaida Nikolaevna refused the future monarch and adopted Felix's offer, which made her the day after dating. It was love at first sight, and for Zinaida Nikolaevna, that they celebrated everything, the first and only one.
Nikolai Borisovich, no matter how embarrassed his decision of his daughter, did not move, and in the spring of 1882 Felix Elston and Zinaida Yusupov married. And a year later, the young people were born - Nikolai, named after Santa.

Yusupov in direct
The boy grew silent and closed, and no matter how hard Zinaida Nikolaevna get closer to him, she did not succeed. She remembered all her life that he covered it when under Christmas of 1887, the question addressed to his son, whatever the gift he wanted, received a nonsense and ice answer: "I don't want you to have other children."
Then Zinaida Nikolaevna was confused, but soon it turned out that one of the moms attached to the young prince told the boy about Nagai curses. She was fired, but the princess's expected child began to wait with a sense of gathering and acute fear.
And at first fears were inconsistent. Nikolai did not hide his dislike for Felix, and only when she was ten years old, there was a feeling that was more likely to friendship, rather than on the love of two native people.
In 1891, Nikolai Borisovich Yusupov died. Shortly before the death, he turned to the highest grace for the preservation of the famous surname, and after a mourning husband Zinaida Nikolaevna Count Sumarokov-Elston was given permission to be called Prince Yusupov.
Family Rock reminded himself in 1908.

Felix Yusupov
Rock duel in the memories of Felix Yusupov It is not difficult to note that he was jealous of his mother to her older brother. He, although it was externally more like a father, rather than in Zinaida Nikolaevna, was unusually similar to her inner world. He was fond of theater, musitis, wrote pictures. His stories were printed under the pseudonym of the fathers, and even the miser on praise Lion Nikolayevich Tolstoy noted once the undoubted talent of the author.
After graduating from the St. Petersburg University, he received a lawyer's diploma. The family spoke about the upcoming marriage, but Nikolai unexpectedly fell in love with Maria Gayden, which was already engaged in the Arvid Mandiner's Graph, and soon this wedding took place.
Young left on a journey in Europe, Nikolai Yusupov followed them, the duel was not avoided. And she took place
On June 22, 1908, in the estate of Prince Beloselsky on the Cross Island of St. Petersburg, Count Mandinfel did not miss. Nikolay Yusupov in six months should have been fulfilled twenty-six years.
"Running screams were distributed from the Father's room, more than the years, Felix Yusupov recalled. "I entered and saw him, very pale, in front of a stretcher, where Nicholas's body was spread out." The mother standing in front of his knees seemed to be deprived of the reason. With great difficulty, we broke it off from the body of the Son and put in bed. Having calmed down a bit, she called me, but, seeing, accepted for his brother. It was an unbearable scene. Then the mother fell into prostration, and when she came to himself, he did not let me go for a second. "

Vicious Cherubim
When Nikolai doned duel, Zinaida Nikolaevna was under fifty. Now all its hopes turned out to be connected with the youngest son.
Externally, Felix looked at the mother unusually - the correct features of the face, big eyes, a thin nose, swelling lips, an elegant figure. But, if the features of Zinaida Nikolaevna contemporaries called Angelic, then her junior Son No one else with the fallen angel did not compare. In all his guise, Schuvima felt some viciousness.
He was not inclined as his older brother or mother, to arts. Did not give interest to the military and public servicelike his father or native on the maternal line. Sugagarian life, gold boy, enviable fiance. But with marriage, everything was not so simple.

Zinaida Yusupov

Zinaida Nikolaevna tried to influence her son, wrote to him: "Do not play cards, restrict fun-time pastime, work with brains!". But Felix Yusupov, although he adored the mother, was unable to overcome himself. Only the evil statement of Zinaida Nikolaevna that she is sick, but does not want to die, until he sees his grandchildren, they prompted him to agree to marry and promise to be cooled. Propali introduced pretty soon.

Palace Yusupova

In 1913, for December evenings in Arkhangelsk arrived grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich. He himself had a conversation about the marriage of his daughter Irina and Felix, and Yusupov was happy to respond. Irina Alexandrovna was not only one of the most enviable innocence of the country, but also stunningly beautiful. By the way, at the beginning of the twentieth century in Russia there were three recognized beauties: Empress Maria Fedorovna, Zinaida Nikolaevna Yusupova and Irina Aleksandrovna Romanova.
Wedding took place in February 1914 in the Church of Anichkova Palace. Since now Yusupov has been related to the reigning dynasty, the whole imperial family has come to congratulate young people. A year later, they were born daughter Irina.

Mother killer
Almost all know about the role of Felix Yusupov in the murder of Rasputin. Lot the Sostromhovy Elder under the pretext of the meeting with Irina Alexandrovna to the palace on the sink. First, pokely, then shot and, in the end, drowned Rasputin in the river.
In his memoirs, Yusupov assures that thus tried to free Russia from the "Dark Force leading her to the abyss." Several times refers to the mother, quarreling because of his hostility to Rasputin with the Empress. But is it worthy to lure the victim under the pretext of closeness with his own wife? And Grigory Rasputin hardly believed such behavior of the noble prince.
Already then, in the explanations of Yusupov, contemporaries suspected some slyness and assumed that Rasputin agreed to come to extinguish the quarrel between spouses caused by the homosexual inclination of Felix.
The Empress insisted that the conspirators were shot, but since among them was the Grand Duke Dmitry Romanov, the punishment was limited to reference. Felix was exiled to the Kursk estate rocket.
Having learned about the events in St. Petersburg, Zinaida Nikolaevna, who was in the Crimea, caused a visit to the widowed Empress.
"We always understood each other with you," Slowly, a little stretching words, said Maria Fedorovna. - But I am afraid that our prayers were heard too late. The Lord has long punished my son, having deprived His head. Collect family. If we have time, then it is a bit. "

Cursed wealth
At the beginning of the war, almost all the wealthy families of the country transferred their foreign savings to Russia. Did not appear exception and yusupov. It was caused not only and not so much patriotism as the desire to preserve the property - in the victory of Russia, no one doubted.
When the revolution was killed, Felix tried to save the family jewels, transporting them to Moscow. But they could not take them from there, and the jewels were accidentally found in eight years.
When April 13, 1919, Yusupov walked out of the Crimea on the Malboro Ministry of Internal Affairs, they left them: 4 palaces and 6 profitable houses in St. Petersburg, Palace and 8 profitable houses in Moscow, 30 estates and places across the country, Raktyansky sugar factory, Milayatinsky meat plant, dodano anthracite mines, several brick plants and a lot of other.
But in the emigration of Yusupov, they were not among the poor. Although we have already mentioned that foreign savings with the beginning of the war were translated into Russia, real estate remained abroad, and the most valuable jewels of the princess were constantly engaged and taken to emigration.
After Felix has bought passports and visas for several diamonds, Yusupov settled in Paris. They bought a house in the Boulogo Forest, where for many years lived.
The old prince died in 1928, Zinaida Nikolaevna in the 1939th.
I buried her on the Cemetery of St. Geneviev de Boua under Paris.
Felix Yusupov from idle life did not refuse, and, in the end, all the property exported and the estate was rastured. His himself, his wife and daughter Irina buried in the grave of the mother. There was no money for one place in the cemetery.

Belonging to the most influential and rich family, Felix Yusupov was a very rapid person. Loving to change clothes into a woman and circling the head of young officers, involved in the murder of Rasputin, he walked around Russian history for the century. On the other hand, as a cup of scales, his blessings are also balanced: the creation of a fashion house in Paris, patronage and assistance to emigrants from Russia in France. How did the demonic vices and good deeds get in yusupov?

Parents Prince

The parents of the imperial dandy became Zinaida Nikolaevna Yusupova and Count Sumarok-Elston. The mother was an enviable bride, the owner of a colossal state. Behind her hand fought not only famous bachelors Russian Empire, but also the aristocrats of Europe. Felix Yusupov recalled her as a beautiful, fragile and very smart creature.

Zinaida Nikolaevna was not ambiguous, therefore it was not married not to settle (and she could even claim the monarch of throne), but for love. The chosen was the official Felix Sumarok-Elston officer. With a high position of his wife, he was easily able to make a career. Moreover, Felix Father was presented by the emperor Princely title, he was also allowed to be called the name of the wife.

Marriage so unlike people, sophisticated Princess and officer, was happy, but not easy. Two children were born: Nikolai, Senior, and Felix. In 1908, the 25-year-old heir tragically dies during the duel and the successor of a huge state becomes Felix Yusupov. His biography will be told below.

Childhood

Childhood is the time when a person is formed, becoming becoming a character. Yusupov Felix Feliksovich was born in 1887, March 23.

His young years have passed in luxury and festivities. Mother's favoris, he was very beautiful: the correct, as if the drawing features of the face, in which aristocracy was traced. Zinaida Ivanovna passionately wanted a girl, so Felix dressed exclusively in the girls.

Apparently, from the distant childhood, the boy remained at this habit. Already a five-year-old child of Yusupov demonstrates its love for dressing in women's dresses. Not soldiers and games with boys, and the mother's wardrobe is his favorite entertainment. Together with his brother, Nikolai, they disguise in women and attend Kabaki, the gathering of women of easy behavior. Felix even performs in Cabaret: sings one of the parties.

This lesson displays the father, the boy constantly gets felling. Felix Feliksovich wanted to see in the son of the successor of his military business, and female things on the boy did not fit into this presentation. The relations of two felixes have always been distance.

The hobby continued until the death of Nikolai, Brother Felix.

Life period in the Russian Empire

In Russia, the young prince Felix Yusupov walked the eccentric young men, Buntar. He loved ridiculous tricks, extremely surprisingly the audience. They are told about him, gossip, there are noby. We should not forget that the society of that time was not so familiar to the shock, as modern, so the shocking actions of the young Yusupov stunned many.

As for Yusupova-student, he was not a diligent student. However, possessed a stunning mind and ability to synthesize the necessary information.

First, he studied in a private gymnasium, then he continued to receive education at Oxford University. There he connected Russian-speaking students to society, also created a car club.

Special relations were Yusupov with her friend's girlfriend - the great princess Elizabeth. Empress she accounted for his native sister. Felix considered a woman saint, her advice, aid, good attitude helped the young man survive tragic death Brother. In 1914, Yusupov marries the representative of the house of Romanov Irina and thus rides with the imperial family.

The First World War Calling Young Chet Yusupov in Germany. Returning to Petersburg with difficulty, Felix begins to help in the treatment of patients with hospital. In 1915, Yusupova is born daughter Irina.

Murder Rasputin: Background

Zinaida, Yusupov Felix Feliksovich and even the Grand Duchess Ekaterina saw that because of the briskly with the imperial family, they suffer, because the attention of monarchs was riveted only to this dark person.

Indeed, Grigory began to borrow high position at the courtyard of the emperor. The Savior of the Heir, he was revered by Empress for the Holy. All attempts to appeal to common sense were not crowned with success: the sovereign was adamant, considered everything slander. And the emperor was forced to agree with everything, because in the hands of the elder there was a life of a blood heir. Thus, the plan for the murder of an objectionable "saint" began to be thought out.

Conspiracy with murder

The involvement in the murder of Felix was the most direct. However, he will remember it until the end of life, like a terrible dream. Close friends of Yusupov took part in the conspiracy: Purishkevich deputy, Dmitry Pavlovich, a leaving from the royal family, was also attracted by a resident of the British intelligence services O. Reiner.

To implement a plan, it was necessary to get close to Gregory. This role was assigned to Felix. He asks Rasputin to get rid of the vice, help.

12/17/1916 Rasputin is invited to the family mansion of Yusupovy, allegedly for acquaintance with Irina, Felix's wife (it is in the Crimea at this time). There they are trying to poison him first, and then the fatal shots sound.

A lot of riddles hides this crime, but one thing is obvious: Felix himself believed that she saved his beloved country from obscurantism. Indeed, citizens of the empire sighed with relief, learning about the death of Gregory.

Suspected Felix Yusupov refers to Rakitino, father's estate.

Emigration: Life in London

The family is safely experiencing a revolution, but emigrates to Europe. The way they ran first in the Crimea, then in Malta. Next, Prince Felix Yusupov with family is sent to the UK, and parents - to the capital of Italy.

Until the last, they all hoped that they would still see their own edges, but this was not destined to come true.

In London, Felix helps arriving refugees-nobles. The family does not live in luxury, as in the homeland, because all the treasures they left at home. Jewels that were on women, sold - they lived. It was not without scammers who robbed yusupeva.

Paris: Second World War

Last place of residence - Paris. There Irina and Felix Yusupov moved in 1920. A miracle from Russia managed to remove the original paintings and some jewels. That was enough to acquire a small house. In France, also continues to help those who fled from the new realities of the country of Soviets. At the same time, an Irfé trendy house opens, but he did not bring them the desired financial well-being.

Means for life appeared unexpectedly: in Hollywood, a film came out about Rasputin and his death. It was reported that the elder had a love relationship with Irina, Felix's wife. It was decided to apply to the court with an accusation of slander. As a result, the spouses received good compensation.

During the war of Yusupov, it refuses to join the Nazis. They seized Felix families - a very rare pearl. Blackmail to her, but the prince was adamant. As a result, the jewel returned to the family.

In 1942, the tragic news comes: died best friend Yusupova, who participated in conspiracy against Rasputin - Grand Duke Dmitry. Long Felix mourns a friend.

After the end of the War, Yusupov live in Paris, the money is barely enough, but they are not desperate: always hospitable, joyful and happy, despite severe deprivation. Felix Yusupov, whose photo is in the article - an example of a truly Russian aristocrat. Sale, with feeling own dignityBut at the same time open to help disadvantaged.

Wife Irina Aleksandrovna

The personality of man will not turn completely, if you do not delve into his relationship with my wife. Felix Yusupova's wife is nee Romanova, Emperor's niece Irina Aleksandrovna.

With the most engagement, the relationship of young people underwent obstacles. It should be said that Felix himself decided to marry, it was his decision, and not the pressure from the family. Young people knew each other from children's years, had a gentle feeling in his youth, so they were completely not against the wedding. Families were also not objected to the Union was quite equal: Romanov and the richest family of the country. However, the engagement almost broke due to the "benevolers", which informed Irina's father's compromising Felix facts about his husbandhood. The young man convinces the future testing in his innocence, and the wedding is going on.

All my life in the emigration of Chet Yusupova was engaged in charity and help to other emigrants, although they lived very modestly. They are an example of spouse like-minded people, zealous patriots of their country.

Probably, for all the good things, they were destined to live for many summer: Felix Yusupov dies in 1968 at the age of 80, after 2 years his faithful wife Irina died.

Descendants of Prince

Unfortunately, the battles were only one daughter, Irina. During the emigration, she lives with his grandmother Zinai for some time, after marrying Sheremetyeva's Grafa and moves to Rome.

From this union Ksenia is born. Thus, she, her daughter Tatiana and two granddaughters - lively straight descendants of the kind of yusupov.
