Anna Tiutcheva


Anna Feodorovna Tiutcheva was a Russian courtier, slavophile and memoirist. She was the maid of honour and confidante of empress Maria Alexandrovna from 1853 until 1866, and is known for her memoirs depicting Russian life from 1853 until 1882, which are regarded to be a valuable historic source of the life of Russian aristocracy in mid 19th-century Russia. She was the daughter of Fyodor Tyutchev and married Ivan Aksakov in 1866.
