Family

In society, many perceived her marriage with Novosiltsev ambiguously. So, Ekaterina Apraksina , who was very proud of her high-profile surname and noble origin, could not bear that a person bearing the same surname decided to marry some upstart [8] , and A. S. Shishkov wrote to his wife [9] : “Congratulate Nikolai Petrovich Novosiltsev from me with my bride or wife, and say that there is something to congratulate: she always seemed to me a pretty girl.” Married in St. Petersburg in the Kazan Cathedral , the guarantors were the camera-junker of the court A.

Marya is dying with annoyance. "
