Life
Evgeni Obolenski was born as the son of Prince Peter Nikolajewitsch Obolensky (1762-1830) and his wife Anna Evgenjenewna Kashkina (1778-1810) in what is now Novomyrhorod in the Ukrainian Oblast of Kirowohrad . His father was there governor of the short-term Voznesensk governorate , which then became part of the Kherson governorate. Evgeni, like his half-brother Nikolai Petrovich Obolensky, born in 1790, and his younger brother Konstantin Petrovich Obolensky (1798–1861) became an Imperial Russian officer.
He was first lieutenant in the Finnish Life Guard Regiment and rose to senior adjutant to the commandant of the Infantry Guard Corps Lieutenant General Rodrig Grigoryevich Bistrom ( Родриг Григорьевич Бистром ).
On December 14th, Jul. / December 26, 1825 greg. as a member of the Northern League of the Decembrists, he was one of the first to take the place of the "Senate" in Saint Petersburg . Here he fought on the side of the Decembrists against the troops that remained loyal to the government, where he slightly wounded the military governor of Petersburg Mikhail Andreevich Miloradovich with a bayonet , who was ultimately fatally wounded by Pyotr Grigoryevich Kachowski .
Obolensky was arrested the same day, found guilty in a subsequent trial, and sentenced to death. The sentence was commuted to life-long forced labor in Siberia, where he was deported in chains . After he was pardoned for lifelong exile in Siberia, he married a former serf in Yalutorovsk in 1846 , with whom he had eight children, some of whom, however, died in childhood. His exile was lifted in 1856. After an application for permission to live in Moscow was rejected, he settled in Kaluga, where he also died.
