Flowers of emigration: how did the fate of Matryona Rasputina. Memories of a daughter Untold facts in a new book
There were many interesting and bright personalities among the Russian emigrants of the first wave. But one woman attracted special attention, although she herself did not always want it. She herself called herself Maria, although her parents called her Matryona. She was the daughter of the famous royal favorite Grigory Rasputin, and the shadow of her father's ambiguous and loud glory accompanied her from childhood until the last days of her more than difficult life.
“I am the daughter of Grigory Efimovich Rasputin. Baptized by Matryona, my family called me Maria. Father - Marochka. Now I am 48 years old. Almost the same as my father was when he was taken away from home by a terrible man - Felix Yusupov. I remember everything and never tried to forget anything that happened to me or my family (no matter how the enemies counted on it). I do not cling to memories, as do those who tend to savor their misfortunes. I just live by them. I love my father very much. Just as much as the others hate him. I can't force others to love him. I do not aspire to this, as my father did not aspire. Like him, I just want understanding. But I'm afraid - and this is excessive when it comes to Rasputin., - these are the words from the book “Rasputin. Why?” written by his daughter Matryona. The very one whose hand had once written his last letter under the dictation of his father.
By the mid-1930s, only Martron survived from the whole family. Sister Varya died in 1925 in Moscow from typhus. Brother Mitya was sent into exile in 1930 as a "malicious element". Paraskeva Feodorovna's mother and Feoktist's wife went to Salekhard with him. Paraskeva Fyodorovna disappeared on the way. Dmitry himself, his wife and daughter Lisa contracted dysentery and died in 1933, Dmitry was the last, almost on the day of his father's death, December 16.
Matrena in October 1917, just a few days before the October uprising, married a Russian officer Boris Nikolaevich Solovyov. They had two daughters - Tatyana and Maria. Even before the birth of the second family emigrated to Romania, then the Czech Republic, Germany. France…
Boris Nikolayevich opened a restaurant in Paris, but went bankrupt because his compatriot emigrants came to dine without money. In 1926, Boris Nikolaevich died of tuberculosis, and Matryona had to earn a living for herself and her two children herself.
Remembering that she once studied at the dance school of the ballerina of the Imperial Theaters Deviller in Berlin, she became a cabaret actress.
Her number was noticed by the manager of one of the English circuses and offered: “If you enter a cage with lions, I’ll take it to work.” Came in, what to do. She changed her name - on the posters of that time she was recommended as "Marie Rasputin, the daughter of a mad monk." Her formidable "Rasputin" look could make any predator jump into a burning ring.
She was a success - entrepreneurs from America soon drew attention to her, invited the Ringling brothers, Barnum and Bailey to perform at the circus, then at the Gardner circus. Once, during a performance, a polar bear attacked her. The tamer career had to be abandoned. A mystical coincidence - once in the Yusupov Palace, her father, mortally wounded, collapsed on the skin of a polar bear - all the newspapers discussed.
You know that out of the entire family of Grigory Rasputin, only one of his daughters survived, about whose life I suggest you read further. Pretty interesting facts.
Here she is in the picture - in the arms of her father. On the left is sister Varvara, on the right is brother Dmitry.
Varya died in Moscow of typhus in 1925, Mitya died in exile in Salekhard. In 1930 he was exiled there together with his mother Paraskeva Fedorovna and his wife Feoktista. Mother did not reach the exile, she died on the way.
Dmitry died of dysentery on December 16, 1933, the anniversary of his father's death, outliving his wife and little daughter Lisa by three months.

On the night of December 17, 1916, Rasputin was killed in the Yusupov Palace on the Moika. A note was found in his old sheepskin coat (Matryona wrote, according to her father):
“I feel like I will be gone before the first of January. I want to tell the Russian people, Dad, Mom and children what they should do. If I am killed by ordinary murderers and my fellow peasants, then, Tsar of Russia, you will not have to be afraid for your children. They will reign for many more centuries. But if the nobles destroy me, if they shed my blood, then their hands will be stained with my blood for twenty-five years and they will leave Russia. Brother will rise on brother. They will hate and kill each other, and there will be no peace in Russia for twenty-five years. King of the Russian land, if you hear the ringing of a bell that tells you that Gregory has been killed, know that one of yours arranged my death, and none of you, none of your children will live more than two years. They will be killed...
I will be killed. I am no longer among the living. Pray! Pray! Stay strong. Think of your blessed family!"
In October 1917, shortly before the uprising, Matryona married officer Boris Nikolaevich Solovyov, a participant in the attempt to free Nicholas II during his Siberian exile.
Two girls were born in the family, named after the Grand Duchesses - Tatyana and Maria. The latter was born already in exile, where Boris and Matryona fled from Russia.
Prague, Berlin, Paris… The wanderings were long. In 1926, Boris died of tuberculosis and Marochka (as her father affectionately called her) was left with two children in her arms with almost no means of subsistence. The restaurant opened by her husband went bankrupt: poor emigrants often dined there on credit.
Matryona goes to work as a dancer in a cabaret - the dance lessons she took in Berlin from the ballerina of the Imperial Theaters Deviller finally came in handy.
During one of the performances, the manager of an English circus approached her:
- If you enter a cage with lions, I'll take you to work.
Matryona crossed herself and entered.
It was said that one of her famous "Rasputin" look is enough to stop any predator.
Soon, American entrepreneurs became interested in the young tamer, and Matrena, having moved to the USA, began working in the circus of the Ringling brothers, Barnum and Bailey, as well as in the Gardner circus.
She left the arena only after she was once wounded by a polar bear. Then all the newspapers started talking about a mystical coincidence: the skin of the bear, on which the murdered Rasputin fell, was also white.
Later, Matryona worked as a nanny, a nurse in a hospital, gave Russian language lessons, met with journalists, wrote a large book about her father called Rasputin. Why?, which was repeatedly published in Russia.
Matrena Grigorievna died in 1977 in California from a heart attack at the age of 80. Her grandchildren still live in the West. One of the granddaughters, Laurence Io-Soloviev, lives in France, but often visits Russia.
Laurence Io-Solovieff (Laurence Huot-Solovieff) is the great-granddaughter of G. Rasputin.
I am the daughter of Grigory Efimovich Rasputin.
Baptized by Matryona, my family called me Maria.
Father - Marochka. Now I am 48 years old.
Almost as old as my father
when he was taken away from home by a terrible man - Felix Yusupov.
I remember everything and never tried to forget anything
from what happened to me or my family
(no matter how the enemies count on it).
I don't cling to memories like those do
who tend to savor their misfortunes.
I just live by them.
I love my father very much.
Just as much as the others hate him.
I can't force others to love him.
I do not aspire to this, as my father did not aspire.
Like him, I just want understanding. But I'm afraid - and this is excessive when it comes to Rasputin.
/From the book "Rasputin. Why?"/
Matrena Rasputin - the eldest daughter of Grigory Rasputin - was born in 1898. Soon after the revolution, Matryona and her husband managed to leave Russia. Matrena Grigoryevna wrote her notes about her father from 1946 to 1960.
What are the notes of Matryona Rasputina?
This, if you try to define it in one phrase, is an explanation with those who consider Grigory Rasputin to be the culprit of almost all the troubles that have befallen Russia. The book is built as an interpretation of the father's life - from birth in the village of Pokrovsky to death in the waters of the Neva in Petrograd. And it is precisely in the unexpected (but always absolutely logical psychologically) interpretation of the actions of Grigory Rasputin that the charm of Matryona's notes lies. At the same time, it is natural that, answering the question “why?”, Matryona conveys a lot of details that eluded other, as she writes, “memories”.
What is the connection between the deaths of the brothers - Mikhail and Grigory Rasputin, which happened with an almost forty-year gap; between Elizabeth of England and Anna Vyrubova; between Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich's passion for hunting and Russia's entry into the war in 1414; between religiosity and eroticism in Rasputin himself, etc.? Matryona Rasputina knows all this.
How accurate is her knowledge? Just enough so that what she says "was quite possible." The beauty of the notes of Matryona Rasputina is that each reader himself will be able, if he wants, to determine the distance from the possible to the actual.

she does not know.
In the autumn of 1998, Mrs. X. was shown the books I had published, The Romanovs.
Imperial House in Exile" and "Memoirs" of Prince Yusupov, the killer of Rasputin.
"That's when I thought you might want to publish his daughter's recordings" --
Mrs X explained to me later.
It took us six months to negotiate (after all, everything is only by mail, no
she has no faxes), for several more months the manuscript traveled by sea to
Moscow...
What are the notes of Matryona Rasputina?
This, if you try to define it in one phrase, is an explanation with those
who considers Grigory Rasputin the culprit of almost all the troubles that have befallen
to Russia.
And here it must be said that, blindly acquiring notes from Rasputin's daughter
(Ms. X. did not agree to my preliminary acquaintance with the manuscript), I
acted with some apprehension. It was justified to wait from Matryona
Rasputina variate on the theme of her own notes about her father, published even before
howl - books very naive and completely apologetic. (Separately necessary
talk about a book published in English in the USA in 1977 under two names
-- Pat Barham and Maria Ras -- "Rasputin Beyond the Myth." I even
ordered its translation, but did not publish it - the daughter's share in it
Ras was reduced to transmitting episodes of her father's life, and they, to co,
completely drowned in cranberries and molasses. However, not with notes,
which are in front of you is indisputable.)
This time I was in for a pleasant surprise. Now he is waiting for you. three notebooks,
written in the handwriting of a not too zealous student, turned out to be very entertaining
by reading. Fascinating and informative reading for both the general reader and
narrow specialist.
The book is built as an interpretation of the life of his father - from birth in the village
Pokrovsky to death in the waters of the Neva in Petrograd. And it is in the unexpected (but
always absolutely logical psychologically) interpretation of the actions of Gregory
Rasputin is the beauty of Matryona's notes. At the same time, it is natural that
answering the question "why?", Matrena gives a lot of details,
eluding others, as she writes, "recollectors".
What is the connection between the deaths of the brothers - Mikhail and Grigo Rasputin,
happened to almost forty years; between Elizabeth of England and
Anna Vyrubova; between the craving of Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich for hunting and
Russia's entry into the war in the 14th year; between religiosity and eroticism in
Rasputin himself, etc.? Matryona Rasputi knows all this.
How accurate is her knowledge? Exactly enough so that what she is talking about
says, "it was entirely possible." The beauty of recording Matryona Rasputina and
that each reader himself can, if he wants, determine the distance from
possible to actual. By the way, Matryona Rasputina hints at this -
Here, they say, Zhevakhov is talking about this, and Kokovtsov, only they never
understood what they were talking about...
Reading is absolutely not hindered by not always exact following by the author
chronology - only the time frame is preserved, and some events are "put
out of place." "Why?" wins the fight against "when?".
The degree of internal involvement of Matryona in describing the events
is also visible from the way it reflects everyday details. They are far away for her
not the main thing, but she is from that time and cannot neglect them in any way. So
cute details seem to show through the foreground.
A special case is the tone of the notes. No breathing, santi exactly
as much as it should be, so that they do not fold. But no doubt...
Matrena adores her father. But she loves, so to speak, with dignity, leaving behind
others the right to dislike him (do not love, but at least understand, do not
brush it off). And rightly so, it's hard to dismiss. At times on the pages of notes
the temperament, clearly inherited by the daughter from the father, just breaks in.
Probably, it was the temperament that forced Matrena Ras to neglect in
the most tense places by the rules of spelling (of course, the old one), not
speaking of punctuation. She seems to be in a hurry to speak out, sometimes not
adding words or shortening them in the most bizarre way.
Actually, the work of the publisher was reduced to deciphering not words,
very minor styling changes (rule out because as
moving towards the end of the Russian language Matryona became more and more
Americanized), checking quotes and bringing them to the form in which they
reproduced in modern editions.
For ease of reading, I have divided the text into chapters and subchapters and given them
titles. Applications are also added by me.

To the 100th anniversary of the assassination of the Tsar's Friend...
Grigory Efimovich Rasputin-New was born on January 9 (21), 1869 in the village of Pokrovsky in the family of a peasant Efim Yakovlevich Rasputin (12/24/1841-autumn 1916) and Anna Vasilievna, nee Parshukova (1839 / 40-01/30/1906). It was an ordinary, unremarkable family among several dozen other families in the settlement of Pokrovskaya. It must be said that the ancestors of Grigory Efimovich settled here from the middle of the 17th century. and were already indigenous Siberians. By that time, Gregory was already the fifth child in this family. After the marriage of his parents, which took place on January 21, 1862, the following were born in succession:
Evdokia (11.02.1863-26.06.1863)
Evdokia (??.08.1864-until 1887)
Glyceria (05/08/1866-until 1887)

Feodosia (05/25/1875-after 1900)
Efim Yakovlevich Rasputin. 1914
As you can see, out of nine children born, only two survived to adolescence - Grigory himself and his sister Theodosia. The latter married a peasant, Daniil Pavlovich Orlov, from the village of Kosmakov. There were children in this marriage, whose godfather was Grigory Efimovich.

Grigory Efimovich himself married at the age of eighteen a peasant woman Paraskeva Fedorovna Dubrovina (1866-1930). The wedding was on February 2, 1887, and a year and a half later they had their first child. In total, Grigory Efimovich and Paraskeva Feodorovna had seven children:
Mikhail (09/29/1888-04/16/1893)
Anna (01/29/1892-05/03/1896)
George (25.05.1894-13.09.1894)
Dmitry (10/25/1895-12/16/1933)

Children: Matryona, Varvara (in the arms of her father) and Dmitry
After approaching Gr. Rasputin with the Royal Family, daughters Matryona and Varvara moved first to Kazan, and then to St. Petersburg, where they studied at school. The son, Dmitry, remained on the farm in Pokrovsky.
Matryona and Varvara in St. Petersburg
After the revolution, the fate of those children who remain in Russia will be rather sad.
Varvara will never marry anyone, and after all the ordeals she will die in Moscow in 1925 from typhus and tuberculosis.
Barbara after the revolution
Dmitry on February 21, 1918 marries Feoktista Ivanovna Pecherkina (1897/98-09/05/1933). Until 1930, he lived with his wife and mother in Pokrovsky, and then the order came and they were dispossessed of kulaks and sent into exile in Obdorsk (Salekhard). On the way, the widow of Grigory Efimovich dies, three years later Feoktista Ivanovna dies of tuberculosis, and after her, three months later, Dmitry himself dies of dysentery. After that, there are no direct descendants of Grigory Efimovich Rasputin in Russia.

The fate of Matryona was different. The people's blogger of Russia recently told about this story sadalskij DAUGHTER OF RASPUTIN. It remains to add only a few touches.
In September 1917, she marries Boris Nikolaevich Solovyov (1893-1926), the son of a close friend of G. E. Rasputin, an official of the Holy Synod Nikolai Vasilyevich Solovyov (1863-1916). In 1920, their daughter Tatyana (1920-2009) was born, and two years later, already in exile, the second daughter, Maria (03/13/1922-04/19/1976).

Here she marries for the second time, for a Russian emigrant, a certain Grigory Grigoryevich Bernadsky, whom she knew back in Russia. The marriage lasted from February 1940 to 1945.
