Evdokija Rostoptschina

Countess Evdokiya Petrovna Rostoptschina , born Suschkowa, also called Dodo, ( Russian Евдокия Петровна Ростопчина , scientific. Transliteration Evdokija Petrovna Rostopčina ; December 23 * 1811 . Jul / 4. January  1812 greg. In Moscow , † December 3 jul. / 15 December  1858 greg. Ibid), was a Russian translator, dramaturge, writer and poet.

In 2012, Michail Kasowski used episodes from the countess' life in the historical novel Lermontow and his women .

Life

Evdokija, the daughter of the senior official Pyotr Wassiljewitsch Suschkow (1783-1855) and his wife Darya Ivanovna Paschkowa (1790-1817), grew up - due to the premature death of their mother - with very wealthy relatives. Evdokija read a lot and learned German, French, Italian and English.

In 1831 Pyotr Vyazemsky published the poem Talisman - Yevdokia's debut from 1830 - in the literary almanac Severnye Zwety (Northern Blossoms). The author signed Da . In May 1833 Evdokija escaped the annoying tutelage of the overactive relatives and married the young, rich Andrei Fjodorowitsch Rostoptschin (1813-1892), son of Fyodor Vasiljewitsch Rostoptschin . Evdokiah's next escape followed; this time in front of the coarse, cynical husband: in her Moscow salon on Lubyanka Street, she used to associate with less rude contemporaries. Occasionally she went on long trips abroad.

In 1836 the family moved to Saint Petersburg . Evdokija signed her publications there first with Ra and finally with her real name. She was now apprenticed to Lermontov , Pushkin and Schukowski . She dedicated her poems to Ogaryov , Lev Mei and Tjuttschew . Gogol , Iwan Myatlev, Pyotr Pletnjow and Count Odojewski frequented her St. Petersburg salon .

From 1833 to 1842, the Rostoptschin couple spent the warm season on their estate in the village of Anna in the Voronezh governorate . Daughters Olga and Lidija and son Viktor were born there between 1837 and 1839. In 1840 the poet stayed in the village all year round and was given time to do poetic production on the subject of unrequited love. In contrast to the poems, her prose and comedies were less successful with readers and critics; were partially ignored.

Together with Count Odojewski, Evdokija Rostoptschina founded a charity . In her ballad The forced marriage she turned 1845 against the attitude of Russia to Poland . The Tsar's reaction was inevitable . When Evdokija Rostoptschina returned home from a trip abroad in 1847, the ruler forbade her to enter his capital, Saint Petersburg. The rebellious, freedom-loving ballad poet was forced to stay with her strict mother-in-law in Moscow and had to endure her zeal for faith . In such an environment her creativity slackened, but it did not dry up. Evdokija Rostoptschina wrote plays, wrote further poetry and translated.

Almost forgotten by her audience, Yevdokija Rostoptschina succumbed to stomach cancer in her birthplace after two years of illness and was buried in Moscow's Pyatnitskoye cemetery.
