Life

Marija Aleksevna parents were the chief procurator of the Senate Alexei Dyakov Afanasievich and Princess Avdotya Petrovna Myschezka. Darja Alexejewna Derschawina , second wife of the poet Gavriil Romanowitsch Derschawin , and Alexandra Alexejewna Kapnist, wife of the poet Vasily Wassiljewitsch Kapnist , were Marija Alexejewna's sisters. Marija Alexejewna received a good home education and was fluent in French . Together with her sisters, she shone in the St. Petersburg house of Lev Alexandrovich Naryschkins in the evenings and danced the quadrille with Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich . Her many admirers included Count Louis-Philippe de Ségur , Iwan Iwanowitsch Chemnitzer , who dedicated his collection of fables to her , and her cousin Nikolai Alexandrowitsch Lwow . In November 1780 she secretly married Lvov, because Lwow was a witness in the trial against her father for abuse of office. It was not until 1784, when the charges against Djakov were dropped, that they announced their marriage.

Church of the Resurrection, Nikolskoye

Initially, the Lvov couple lived in the house of Count Alexander Andreevich Besborodko in St. Petersburg, where their eldest son Leonid was born. From the mid-1780s onwards they were engaged in the redevelopment of the Lvov family estate Nikolskoje near Torzhok , with Lvova personally supervising the construction work and proving himself to be a prudent housekeeper . With her husband she belonged to a literary circle of friends of poets and writers who met regularly with them. Dmitri Grigoryevich Levitsky and Vladimir Lukitsch Borowikowski painted their portraits , and Gavriil Romanowitsch Derschawin presented them in his comedy Kuterma ot Kondratjew by the name of Milowidowa.

After the birth of their youngest daughter Praskovia in 1793, Lvova suffered from mental disorders . After the death of her husband in January 1804, she devoted herself entirely to the completion of the Church of the Resurrection and the tomb in Nikolskoye. In the summer of 1806 the church was consecrated with NA Lvov's transfer to this mausoleum .

After Lwova's death, their children were taken in by Gavriil Romanowitsch Derschawin. Leonid (1784–1847) became a diplomat , married in 1817 and had 13 children, 9 of whom died early. Alexander (1786–1849) was an officer, art lover and grandfather of the politicians Nikolai Nikolajewitsch Lwow and Vladimir Nikolajewitsch Lwow . Jelisaweta (1788–1864) married the musicologist , writer and widower with 10 children Fyodor Petrovich Lwow in 1810 , with whom she had 6 children. Wera (1792–1873) married the major general and poet Alexei Wassiljewitsch Wojeikow and became the grandmother of the painter Vasily Dmitrijewitsch Polenov . Praskowja (1793–1839) married the historian Konstantin Matwejewitsch Borosdin .
