In 1908 she married N. N. Kachalova . There were no children in the family. Their marriage was long and happy ^[1] .

In the summer of 1917, rumors circulated about Petrograd about Tim’s novel with A. F. Kerensky and their upcoming wedding, but they “hardly had a serious basis” ^[2] . In 1918, Tim and her husband refuted it in print ^[3] . These rumors were reflected in the diary of A. A. Blok , in the records of V. F. Khodasevich (where it was filed as philistine gossip), some newspaper publications, and later, under Soviet rule, cost Tim a lot of trouble ^[1] : in the “organs”, they demanded explanations about her relations with Kerensky, did not raise her rank, deprived of roles, etc. ”
