The book “The noble family of the Boratynskys” was written in 1909 by Mikhail Andreevich Boratynsky, the owner of the family estate in the village of Ilyinovka, Kirsanov district. This book of 18 pages was printed as a supplement to the magazine “The Chronicle of Historical and Genealogical Society” for 1910.
The Moscow Historical and Genealogical Society is one of the oldest and largest scientific genealogical organizations in Russia. Its goal was “to undertake scientific research into the history of the Russian nobility in all its forms of past life and to study the history of individual noble families”. The members of the society collected data on the estates of the nobility, tried to preserve for historians their vanishing genealogical archives, and were engaged in the description of Russian necropolises. The Moscow Historical and Genealogical Society ceased its activities in 1922, but in 1990 it began its work again and is still active.
The “Chronicle of the Historical and Genealogical Society” was a periodical publication of the society, which came out three or four times a year. A total of 44 issues were published between 1905 and 1915. The journal published a large number of sources and articles on the history and genealogy of noble families of Russia. Mikhail Andreevich Boratynsky was a nephew of the poet Yevgeny Abramovich Boratynsky. At the time the book was being written (September 1909), there were only three families of the Boratynsky family living in Kirsanov District.
The family of Mikhail Andreevich Boratynsky lived in Ilyinovka; Sergievka, two versts away, was the home of Sofia Sergeevna Chicherina (the poet’s niece, the daughter of his brother Sergei Abramovich), and Mara estate, five versts from Ilyinovka, was where, as Mikhail Andreevich calls them in his memoirs, two “old Boratynsky women” lived. They were maternal relatives, half-sisters Anastasia Sergeevna Boratynskaya and Elizaveta Antonovna Delvig.
Sergey Abramovich Boratynsky, the poet’s brother, was married to Sofia Mikhailovna, widow of Baron Anton Antonovich Delvig, a poet and close friend of Yevgeny Abramovich Boratynsky and Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. The direct descendants of the poet Yevgeny Abramovich sold their Tambov estates and settled in Kazan Governorate.
