--- "A Numerous and Fashionable Audience: The Story of Elsie Swinton" by David Greer, Thames Publishing, 1997:
Page 15: At Peterhof there lived another of Elsie's friends, Elizabeth Plaoutine, known as Lily. The Plaoutine family was of Scottish origin and the name had originally been Plowden. In the time of Peter the Great many Scots families had settled in Russia and some had been elevated to the nobility. Lily's father, Lieutenant-General Sergey Nikolaevitch Plaoutine, had a post at the imperial court. Her mother was an English-woman whose maiden name had been Pringle. Lily and Elsie were apparently distantly related, for Lily claimed her friend as her fifth half cousin. Lily would drive over from Peterhof in a low carriage with a pair of ponies in Hungarian harness, with bunches of feathers on their heads. She, Elsie, Eleanore, Maria, and a few others had their own secret society of 'Bondfriends'.
Page 51: . . . on the journey they met Elsie's girlhood friend from St. Petersburg days, Lily Plaoutine. Elsie and Lily had not seen one another for at least six years, and in the meantime they had both married and had had two children. Lily, who was now a Lady-in-Waiting at the Russian court, was with her husband, Prince Sergey Sherbatov, and they all completed the journey to Dresden together.

The village "Transfiguration", a manor house on the hill, garden, down to the river, a mill - a picture I have such a family.
Mom always said, "Transfiguration" - our estate. However, I did not specify exactly whose it: Raczynski, Deryuzhinsky, Kakhovskaya whether Shcherbatov ...
For all of them are close relatives. The brother of my great-grandfather Alexander Raczynski (1826-1877), writer, historian, diplomat, ending his diplomatic service he settled in the family estate in the village of Mitino, selling the rest of their possessions for the wife and daughter of his studies, to send his son to the military service, while continuing to host Bulgarians students.

In Smolensk, my family members were shot: my cousin Irina is 17 years old, my cousin Dmitry is 14 years old, my uncle Sergey Borisovich Shcherbatov with his wife Elizaveta, nee Plautina, aunt, Princess Khovanskaya. Her line after this "purge" ceased. I wrote down all the coordinates, but I did not immediately tell anyone. I arrived the next day alone, opened the first box, there were about 20 tons of documents. I did not get the Shcherbatov case, but it was supposed to be there. I doubt that I could find him alone. But here, one might say, was lucky: Alexander von Engelhardt helped me. From him I learned the history of the archive and details of the shooting of my family.
.. . The Cheka began to operate from the end of 1917. The former gendarmes and policemen, nobles, merchants and priests, cadets, schoolboys, students were exterminated. Shot not only adults but also children. "The Shcherbatov case" was found in documents for 1921: arrest, interrogation, sentence to be shot. Uncle's wife, who was very fond of Russia, was a half-English woman, and the reason for the arrest with the wording "English spies" was the family's affection for the English language. Something I was enchanted by Engelhardt, who himself interrogated my relatives: "Irina's cousin, she seemed to be afraid of nothing. She said: "I hate you. You are traitors to my homeland. " She was shot the next morning. There were also two Chekist brothers, Pavel and Grigory Neubergi, who at that time were twenty and twenty-one years old, then they changed their surname to Newberg. These two, after the Civil War, worked in Berlin with Rosengolz at the USSR Ministry of Trade. Both fled in the 28-29 years from Berlin to the West, capturing quite a lot of money. Paul married Olga Zhigalova, also from Smolensk, a well-known woman in America, who wrote an interesting book about her Smolensk life. Paul died in the United States. Little detail: my sister Elena accidentally met Olga in Switzerland, and they maintained close friendly relations for a long time, until I told Elena that Olga Zhigalova's husband had interrogated our sister Irina. The rupture somewhat spoiled the social status of Mrs. Zhigalova. Nevertheless, their son became a lawyer, married the daughter of the American millionaire Vanderbild.
And I remember Irina. Last time we met in Petersburg, she was then 15-16 years old, I was 6 or 7. Very beautiful and affectionate, always took me in my arms and kissed her head. I had such a special feeling for her. Uncle Sergey, a well-known artist, loved his estate near Smolensk, not far from the Goat Hills, and did not want to leave it. He gave them out as "British intelligence officers" Alexander Engelhardt. In the Goat Hills, with the shooting of my relatives, the GPU cemetery began, where five thousand Polish officers were destroyed many years later.
["The Goat Mountains" refers to Kozy Gory, a hamlet in the Smolensk area, close to Katyn.This was the site of the infamous massacre of Polish officers in WWII. GPU (Gosudarstvennoye Politicheskoye Upravlenie - State Political Directorate) was the official designation of the Cheka 1922 - 1923. Apparantly some or all of the Katyn Forest victims were buried in Kozy Gory.]
. . . He could not know that part of my family was left under Stalin's government, but I did not want to go into details. The fact is that two sisters from the Shcherbatov family who were shot, Tatyana and Elizabeth, were able to escape. Tatiana went to Petrograd. She was helped by the friends of her grandfather Shcherbatov's sister, the famous countess Uvarova, an archaeologist who had high prestige in Russia. The countess' husband, who was born Shcherbatova, Earl Uvarov was also a well-known archeologist, a specialist in Scythian burials. Many burial mounds were found by this couple. Uvarov by this time died, the countess went to Yugoslavia. Tatyana in Petrograd was helped by good acquaintances of the Uvarovs, just kind people. Tatiana painted beautifully, they sent her to Georgia, to Tiflis. She graduated there school and became a famous painter-restorer. She sketched the unique Georgian frescoes that adorned the Orthodox churches, which were preserved in the mountains from the 8th to the 9th centuries until the arrival of the Arabs. Now there's Muslim Chechnya. I have a magazine "Paris Match", dedicated to her work and life stories. She is considered the only expert in Georgian frescoes in Russia. Tatyana, undoubtedly, has done a tremendous historical work. Most of the drawings were in the Tiflis Museum, and many died in 1990-91 during a fire, during the riots in Georgia during the partition of the USSR. After that, in 92-93 she returned to Moscow, bought a house in the Moscow suburbs, and lives there. I saw her only once in 91, when I came to Moscow. Tatiana specially arrived for a meeting. Very sweet and intelligent, she did not want to talk about Smolensk: "We will not talk about this. I suffered so much. " Financially, she was helped from France, where money was left for her. My aunts - Mary and Anyuta (Golitsyna), born Shcherbatov, died. But before the revolution, Grandma Shcherbatova, the father's mother, had one of the famous diadems of Empress Josephine, the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1914, the diadem, after the restoration, was sold. Two sisters inherited money. Anyuta invested some money in a plot of land in the south of France, near Cannes. This property is actually owned by Tatiana and Elizabeth. I saw Elizabeth only in my childhood, at the age of six. I know that she, after parting with Tatiana, fled to Siberia and was teaching English in Krasnoyarsk, died there, and very early. Tatyana now should be about 96 years old. She was married to Kovalevsky, who was a student of the St. Petersburg Lyceum in the early 1930s. He was shot in a few years. From this marriage there was a daughter and a son. Daughter, known in Moscow as a professor of history. I saw her in Belgium when she came to visit my sisters, Olga and Anna, who, basically, and kept in touch with her. She seemed to me an interesting interlocutor, a competent historian, an intelligent, but somewhat exalted woman. And with her son, a pretty nice boy, but similar to a long-haired hippie, I could not find a common language. He is now about 40 years old, probably changed, turning into an elegant young man. Maybe I took a bit of a preoccupation with him? He was not an angel in his childhood. Recently, analyzing old papers, I found my letter, sent from Constantinople "dear aunt Anyuta." I was very surprised by my intelligence. I quote this funny document. On the other hand, it is clear from the written, what kind of sympathetic, kind and always ready to help was my father's sister. At all, Aunt Mary was no different from her in character. Therefore, my family members were calm for Tatiana and Elizabeth, confident that they are in a good financial situation.
