Biography
In August 1852, 16 years old, she was married to Vladimir Nikolaevich Maykov (1826–1885). Three children were born in the family: Eugene (1853 -?), Valerian (1857-1899) [1] and Vladimir (1863-1942).
I.A. Goncharov was in love with Ekaterina Maikova [2] . She became the prototype of Olga Ilyinskaya in Oblomov and Vera Berezhkova in Obryv . The plot of the Cliff is based on the Maykov family drama.
In the summer of 1864, Ekaterina Pavlovna, returning from treatment, met on a boat with a student Fedor Vasilyevich Lyubimov, the son of a priest, a native of Siberia. He becomes the home teacher of the Maikov children. In the summer of 1866, Maikova, along with Lyubimov, left her house and children [3] . In 1867, they gave birth to a son, named according to the documents Vasily Konstantinovich Konstantinov [4] . The boy's middle name and surname were formed on behalf of the godfather, Konstantin Nikolayevich Ivanov. The child was transferred to the education of a certain Maria Lindblom [5] , who declared him her illegitimate son. In 1869, Maykova and Lyubimov moved to a commune in the vicinity of Sochi [6] . Little Vasily was left in St. Petersburg and "brought up on the basis of absolute poverty at the expense of charitable sums." Two attempts by Lyubimov to get higher education ended in expulsion from the institute; he began to drink [7] .
At the beginning of 1870, Maykova broke with Lyubimov and settled in the estate of Uch-Dere. At this time, Ekaterina Stepanovna Garshina, mother of Sun. Garshina , who herself left children in 1860, fleeing home with teacher P.V. Zavadsky, took an unexpected part in the fate of her son Maykova. She found Vasily. The boy was "in the slums, in incredible dirt. He could neither read nor write, he looked like a beast ... He was washed, dressed, and given to study ” [8] .
As it turned out, Ekaterina Pavlovna subsequently had a long close relationship with the owner, Uch-dere Alexander Alexandrovich Stark (1849-1933), an entomologist, who in the past managed the estates of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich. The son of Maikova and A.A. Stark - Eduard Aleksandrovich Stark was raised by his father. He became a famous theater critic, died during the Leningrad blockade in 1942 [9] .
In 1888, Maikova, having sold the estate inherited from her father’s estate, builds a house on Mikhailovskaya Street in Sochi, on the ground floor she opened the first public library [6] .
In addition, Maykova is known as a children's writer, collaborated in the children's magazine "Snowdrop" and in " Family evenings ." In 1864, she published an autobiographical (with elements of fiction [10] ) story "How My Life Began". In 1867, released under the pseudonym Katri Mayko "ABCs and first reading lessons."
