November 1800 in Saint Petersburg ; † 14. October 1854 in Irkutsk ), was the wife of the Decembrist Prince Sergei Petrovich Trubetskoi .

Nikolai Nekrasov set a monument to Yekaterina in his poem Russian Women .

Life

Yekaterina's father, Count Jean François Laval, a French nobleman, emigrated to Russia at the beginning of the revolution and entered the service of the Tsarina . Together with his wife, Ekaterina's mother Countess Alexandra Grigoryevna, he held court in a house in Saint Petersburg "where one walked over marble slabs that had belonged to the Roman emperor Nero and had been purchased by Katasha's mother in Rome ". Ekaterina and her three sisters had been brought up carefully and had lived with their parents in other European countries for a long time.

In 1819 Yekaterina met her future husband in Paris . The couple married in May 1820. The marriage was initially not blessed with children.

After five years of marriage, Ekaterina was surprised by a fact: her husband belonged to the rebellious Decembrists. When he was deported to Siberia for this in 1826 , she was one of the first wives to follow her husband without reservation. Ekaterina arrived in Irkutsk on September 16. The civil governor of German origin Zeidler was commissioned by the tsar to send the wives of the Decembrists back to the European part of Russia. Ekaterina would not be turned away. Her husband had been taken to the Nerchinsky Zavod mine . Zeidler kept Jekaterina secret of her husband's whereabouts for months. It was not until February 10, 1827 that she met her husband in the Blagodatsk mine near the border with China .

At the end of 1839 the husband was released from the katorga and the family was forcibly resettled in Ojok near Urik in the Irkutsk area. In 1845 relocation to Irkutsk was allowed.

Ekaterina died of cancer and was buried in the Irkutsk monastery on the apparition of the Virgin .
