The trace of a name in history

, nee Bryanskaya, was born on July 31 (August 12), 1820 in St. Petersburg in a family of actors of the Alexandrinsky Theater. In 1839, Avdotya married I. I. Panaev, who, unable to part with bachelor habits, made the life of the future writer very difficult.

Panaev was a fanfaron, a gigolo, an incorrigible reveler, a man whose emptiness, as Belinsky lamented, "cannot be measured by any instruments." Having boasted about his beautiful wife to his friends, Ivan Panaev lost interest in her already in the first year of his marriage and rushed for new frivolous skirts. And Avdotya assigned the role of decorating the living room. And he did not seek to protect from the outright harassment of some friends.

Beautiful, smart and courteous Panaeva attracted the attention of many guests of the Panaev's house, including Dostoevsky and Nekrasov. She could not resist the love ardor of the latter, and in 1845 she became his common-law wife.

In 1846, the Panaevs, in the company of Nekrasov, celebrated summer months on his estate in the Kazan province. Here the poet discussed in detail with Panaev the plan for the purchase and joint revival of the Sovremennik magazine. And here he finally became close to his wife.

Rarely did a day go by without a scandal. Nekrasov was pathologically jealous. And as passionate as it is fickle.

Returning to St. Petersburg, the bohemian trinity settled in the same apartment. And began strange life... Ivan Panaev is a husband without a wife, an editor without a magazine (Nekrasov ran all the affairs of a prosperous publication), a cuckold without deceit. And Avdotya is the spouse before God and the people of one, in fact and at the behest of the heart - of the other.

In 1849, Avdotya and Nekrasov were expecting a child and, inspired, wrote the joint novel "Three Sides of the World" for nine months. The son was born weak and died a few hours later. Panaeva was petrified with grief. She urgently needed to put her nerves in order, and she went abroad for treatment.

Separation instantly spurred Nekrasov's feelings. He bombarded Avdotya with the tenderest letters, and, receiving intentionally indifferent answers from her, he suffered terribly. Panaeva returned - with her the idyll returned to their union. For a short time.

In 1851, another joint novel, Dead Lake, was written. And then it got even worse...

Attacks of furious jealousy and crushing passion were replaced by Nekrasov's cold alienation. Overcome by black blues, he could terribly offend, often in the presence of strangers. Panaeva suffered and endured. After all, he is a poet, he has a complex nature. But he loves her, loves her ... Although sometimes he cannot see. And he spins such shameful intrigues that all his friends are ashamed of him and insulting for her.

The heroines of Panaeva's stories ("Careless Word", "Ugly Husband", "Watchmaker's Wife", "Apiary", "Reckless Step", "Romance in the St. Petersburg Half World") are victims of wrong social conditions, unable to resist them, often spiritually distorted by them.

One of the significant works of Panaeva is the novel "Women's Lot" (1862), the plot of which reflected the stages of the life of the writer herself (unsuccessful marriage, moral tests civil marriage) and, in the spirit of Chernyshevsky's ideas, the process of the formation of "new people", devoid of Domostroy's ideas about the place of women in society and the family, free, reasonable and respectful of each other's dignity.

After Panaev's death and a break with Nekrasov, Panaeva married publicist A. F. Golovachev in 1864. A daughter was born, and Avdotya threw herself headlong into her upbringing. Her husband died of tuberculosis in 1877, leaving Panaeva with her young daughter, the future writer E. A. Nagrodskaya (1866-1930), the author of popular books in the early 20th century. "women's novels".

After 15 years of living with Nikolai, she lived for another 15 years outside of his existence. And another 15 years - after his death, dragging out a poor existence and earning a living by literary works. Feeling like a "forgotten author of a past literary era," Panaeva lived on a meager literary income, publishing mainly in Niva and its supplement. Preserving a wide readership until the end of the 20th century, Panaeva's memoirs ("Russian Writers and Artists. 1824-1870") are not without factual inaccuracies and polemical tendentiousness, but they are distinguished by sincerity and entertaining narration, offering valuable material for study. public life Russia in the 1840s-1860s and memorable portraits of many prominent figures of Russian culture.
