Varvara Arkadyevna Nelidova (Варвара Аркадьевна Нелидова, 1814–1897) was a mistress of Nicholas I of Russia from 1832 until his death in 1855. Her aunt Yekaterina Nelidova was a mistress of Nicholas' father Paul, and her maternal grandfather was Count Friedrich Wilhelm von Buxhoeveden. Nelidova's liaison with the Emperor was kept more or less secret, giving rise to never ending speculations about its length and the number of children she bore him. According to Nikolay Dobrolyubov, their several children were adopted by her relative, Peter Kleinmichel, Russia's Minister of Communications.〔http://www.gorodovoy.spb.ru/rus/news/culture/381637.shtml〕 Nelidova is also claimed to have been the mother of Baron Paskhin, an 8-year-old boy who was made a Baron of the Austrian Empire in 1839.〔Воспоминания, дневник: материалы семейного архива, генеалогия рода Арсеньевых. ISBN 978-5-87991-019-3.〕 His surname is derived from the feast of Pascha, for he was born on Easter Sunday. No documentation survives, however. Nelidova's secretive relationship with the Tsar is the subject of Yuri Tynyanov's novella ''Young Vitushishnikov'' (1933).〔http://az.lib.ru/t/tynjanow_j_n/text_0060.shtml〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Varvara Nelidova」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
