November 12 (24), 1817, the famous “quadruple duel” took place in St. Petersburg, the cause of which was the famous ballerina Istomina. Count Zavadovsky and cavalry guard Sheremetev fought in a duel. Perhaps contemporaries (not to mention descendants) would quickly forget about the duel if it weren’t for the duelists’ seconds. And these seconds were Griboyedov and Yakubovich. Sheremetev was killed on the spot, but for the great Griboyedov this duel ended very badly, although not immediately... A duel between two friends - cavalry guard staff captain Vasily Vasilyevich Sheremetev and chamber cadet Count Alexander Petrovich Zavadovsky, in which Griboedov was the latter’s second, caused a lot of talk in the society of that time.
The circumstances of this fight excited the minds of contemporaries because several brilliant men in Russia fought over an equally brilliant woman - the dancer Avdotya Istomina, glorified by Pushkin himself. In the end, this duel turned out to be unique - a quadruple, and also extended over time. Its results are amazing: the death of one participant, the shame of the second, the entry into the Decembrist movement of the third and... the creation of the brilliant work “Woe from Wit” by the fourth.
“Betrayal” by Avdotya Istomina
So, this duel took place because of Avdotya Istomina, the legendary dancer of the St. Petersburg Ballet. Her image is captured in “Eugene Onegin”: Brilliant, half-airy, Obedient to the magical bow, Surrounded by a crowd of nymphs, Standing Istomina... It is no secret that Istomina was the subject of the courtship of many, including the guards officer Vasily Sheremetev. But the famous bon vivant Count Alexander Zavadovsky also liked her.
As for Griboyedov, in the summer of 1817 he entered the service of the Collegium of Foreign Affairs, and in the winter of 1818 (Griboedov was 22 years old at that time, and he was already known for several plays written for the theater) he lived in the same apartment with a young man. Count Zavadovsky.
One of the eyewitnesses of those events writes: “Perhaps Count Zavadovsky previously had some designs on Istomin, but had to give in to his lucky rival; Griboedov, who had absolutely no intentions of her, invited her one day, after the performance, to drink tea with him. He himself visited Istomina quite often as a friend, as a close acquaintance. Istomina agreed, but, knowing that Sheremetev was spying on her, and not wanting to lead him into temptation and unnecessary anger, she told Griboedov that she would not go with him from the theater, but assigned him a place where he would meet her immediately after the performance - the first, so-called Cloth line of Gostiny Dvor, this time, of course, completely deserted, because it was at night.”
True, Count Zavadovsky, a famous womanizer, had long been trying to hit on Istomina, and she knew it. But what a problem, because Griboedov, almost a brother, will be there! Well, the three of them will drink tea and that’s all. Vasya, of course, will not like this. Well, so what! So, probably, the ballerina thought frivolously.
“That’s how it all happened,” continues the eyewitness, “she got out of the theater carriage opposite the appointed place, met Griboedov and went to see him. Sheremetev, watching from afar, saw all this. Following Griboyedov's sleigh, he was fully convinced that Istomina had arrived with someone at Count Zavadovsky's apartment; Afterwards, very simply, through people, I could find out that this “someone” was Griboedov.”
Note that before this, Istomin was Sheremetev’s lover for almost two years. But there was a quarrel between them, and the ballerina moved in with her friend. And on November 17, Griboyedov, who was friends with Sheremetev, took the ballerina “for tea,” and she stayed in his and Zavadovsky’s apartment. Istomina returned home late. Tormented by jealousy, Sheremetev was already waiting for her. She tried to explain herself, to say that she was not alone with Zavadovsky, that Griboedov was present there, that they were just drinking tea... But Sheremetev was no longer listening to anything.

“Friendly” advice from Yakubovich
Enraged, he rushed to his friend, the famous duelist Alexander Ivanovich Yakubovich, with the question: “What should I do?” Yakubovich was a personally brave man, but with a rather strange view of some things.
- What to do? – he grinned. – This is very understandable: of course, we have to fight. But now the question is: how and with whom? Your beloved was at Zavadovsky’s, that’s once, but Griboyedov brought her there, that’s two. Therefore, there are two people here demanding a bullet, and from this it follows that in order not to offend anyone, at this sure opportunity we will make up une partie carrée, that is, a quadruple duel
A quadruple duel was the name of a duel in which after the opponents their seconds also shot. As a result, in the morning Yakubovich gave Count Zavadovsky a note from Sheremetev demanding satisfaction. The note, by the way, said: “On the third day, Istomin, at the invitation of Griboedov, drank tea with you and returned home very late. I don’t like this, and therefore, would you like to tell me where and when and on what basis you agree to give me due satisfaction.”
– I’m not fighting for the dancer Istomin! – the count answered carelessly. “She is not Sheremetev’s sister, not a daughter, and, especially, not a wife. Yes, and I have the power to invite anyone I want to visit me. So tell your friend.
Yakubovich objected, emphasizing that the count knew Sheremetev’s relationship with Istomina. But he just laughed: “I don’t care about them.” If Istomina were the wife, sister or daughter of Sheremetev, then a holy cause! I would accept his challenge, but only drunken soldiers and orderlies fight over their concubines, and we are nobles, we are ashamed to imitate boorish brats.
Stubborn Yakubovich asked the count to give a written answer, and he wrote: “I am not fighting for Istomin.” And he gave the note to Yakubovich to pass on to Sheremetev. For his part, Sheremetev, realizing that Zavadovsky would not fight him over Istomina, asked him what, in his opinion, could force him to give him satisfaction? In response to this, the recommendation was to “challenge him for insolence, and then send a second.”
In modern terms, Sheremetyev was asked to find a plausible reason for a duel. And soon, indeed, somewhere in a public place, Sheremetev brought the count to “insolence.” And the last one threw ice cream from a cup into the first one's face.
Meanwhile, Yakubovich sent his challenge to Griboyedov, whom he considered more guilty. Hussar lieutenant Kaverin brought a letter from Yakubovich, which said: “Griboyedov! By inviting Istomin to your place, you cruelly insulted Vasily Sheremetev, and I, as his friend, cannot be indifferent to this. Kaverin is my second. Make an agreement with him or, having found someone like him, decide for yourself: when, where and on what.”
Griboyedov accepted the challenge with the words: “If Alexander Ivanovich wishes, I am at his service.”
First duel
The quadruple duel took place on November 12 (24), 1817 on the Volkovo Field in St. Petersburg. More precisely, at two o'clock in the afternoon the first fight began - Sheremetev with Zavadovsky. Yakubovich and Griboyedov acted as seconds. The second duel - already between them - was supposed to take place immediately after the first.
The barrier was set at eighteen steps, so that the opponents could walk six steps at a time and then shoot. That is, the conditions were the most brutal: you could shoot from just six steps.
When the participants in the first duel began to converge, Count Zavadovsky, who was an excellent shooter, walked quietly and completely calmly. Whether it was Zavadovsky’s composure that infuriated Sheremetev, or whether the feeling of jealousy and anger overpowered his reason, only he could not stand it and shot at the count before reaching the barrier. The bullet flew so close that it tore off part of the collar of the count's coat... Then, and this is understandable, Zavadovsky was overcome with indignation.
- Oh, that's how it is! - he exclaimed. - He wanted to kill me - to the barrier!
There was nothing to do, and Sheremetev approached. Some of those who were present at the duel began to ask Zavadovsky to spare Sheremetev. But he replied that he would only shoot him in the leg - for science. Sheremetev heard this and shouted:
“You must kill me, or sooner or later I will kill you!”
And then Zavadovsky fired for real. The bullet pierced Sheremetev's side, passed through the stomach and stopped in the other side. The poor fellow fell backwards - in those days this meant almost certain death.
Due to such a tragic outcome of the fight of the first pair, the duel of the seconds was postponed. The dying Sheremetev was brought to Istomina’s apartment. That's what he asked. There he died. He was only 27 years old. His father, outraged by the “stupidity of his son’s duel over a dancer,” found him guilty of his own death and personally asked Emperor Alexander I not to punish Count Zavadovsky.
And after that there was a sharp turning point in Istomina’s life. A medallion, once a gift from Vasily, appeared above her bed. And her name was never again associated with any specific admirer. Moreover, the only one of all the ballerinas of the imperial theater, Istomina was never supported by anyone again, and the stage became her only passion.
As for Yakubovich, he apologized to Griboedov, saying that it is now completely impossible for them to shoot each other and that they must postpone their calculations until “better times.” However, they no longer had such an opportunity in St. Petersburg. The fact is that Yakubovich, as the main instigator and organizer of the fight, was arrested and discharged from the guard with a transfer as an ensign to the Caucasus - to the Nizhny Novgorod Dragoon Regiment.
As for Alexander Petrovich Zavadovsky, he was quietly sent abroad. However, upon his return, his fellow officers did not accept him. And the count's only occupation was playing cards. And what’s surprising: Zavadovsky’s father was buried next to Sheremetev’s grave, so that when he came to his father, the count always came across the grave of the cavalry guard he killed. Second duel
Griboyedov did not even receive a reprimand. But it was not easy for him to come to terms with his own conscience, which had not given him peace for a long time. He wrote to his friend Stepan Begichev in Moscow that he was attacked by a terrible melancholy, that he constantly saw the mortally wounded Sheremetev in front of him, that his stay in St. Petersburg had become unbearable for him. Mazarovich, who was acquainted with Griboyedov, then Russia's charge d'affaires in Persia, invited Alexander Sergeevich to go with him as secretary of the embassy. Griboedov gladly accepted this offer and at the end of August 1818 he left St. Petersburg.
If only he knew how this would end for him...
As already mentioned, Alexander Ivanovich Yakubovich became an ensign in the Nizhny Novgorod Dragoon Regiment. This regiment was considered privileged (it was even sometimes called the “Caucasian Guard”). On the one hand, Caucasian aristocrats traditionally joined it, and on the other, capital officers who had committed misconduct were transferred. The famous military historian Panchulidzev spoke about this regiment as a gathering place for those demoted for duels in the 1810–1820s. But even later, the Nizhny Novgorod regiment retained this reputation: for example, Lermontov, exiled to the Caucasus, ended up in it.
Annenkov, in his book about Pushkin, describes Yakubovich as follows: “Duels were then in full swing. They were looking for duels. Who didn’t challenge you to a fight then, and who didn’t challenge you then?! Asking for history was even considered a sign of a good breed and purebred origin, which helped many, using this one technique, to hide for a long time the insignificance of their mind and character. The man who made dueling his specialty, the famous Yakubovich, enjoyed extraordinary popularity in the world and acquired in the imagination of young people the dimensions and outlines of an almost epic hero, although his little understanding of himself and his time, his inclination to phrase in words and deeds did not give him special right to do so.”
Let us note that in the fall of 1818, Yakubovich was transferred to Tiflis, and ended up passing there on his way to Tehran and Griboyedov. And then, during a chance meeting, Yakubovich reminded him about the postponed continuation of the quadruple duel. Griboyedov understood that, willingly or unwillingly, it was he who contributed to the previous tragic fight, which ended in the death of Vasily Sheremetev. He tried to reason with Yakubovich, but since he had invented a legend about his oath to avenge his dead friend and was determined to duel, Alexander Sergeevich was also forced to go to the end.
Yakubovich was going to shoot with Griboyedov without seconds. This was a clear violation of the dueling code, but it was much more effective to “arrange” a mortal duel in the eyes of society. However, the seconds still appeared. At first they wanted to shoot at Yakubovich’s apartment, but this condition was rejected by Griboyedov’s second, diplomat Amburger, on the grounds that Alexander Ivanovich could already get used to shooting in this room. Then Yakubovich’s second Muravyov (the future military governor of the Caucasus province) found a place in a ravine near the Tatar grave, on the road to Kakheti.
According to one version, Yakubovich shot first. In his own words, he did not intend to take the enemy’s life, so he aimed at his hand. The wounded Griboyedov now had the right to come closer to the barrier in order to fire his shot for sure. With his bloody left hand, which he showed to his seconds, Alexander Sergeevich fired without using this advantage. The bullet flew next to Yakubovich’s head, and so close that he even grabbed his head, considering himself wounded.
According to another version, the lot fell to Griboedov to shoot first. But he deliberately shot wide.
- You're being naughty, buddy! – Yakubovich laughed. - You’re a musician, a lover of playing the piano... Well, you won’t play like that anymore!
And he shot into Griboedov’s palm. The bullet grazed my little finger.
One of the eyewitnesses of the duel writes: “Indeed, the bullet hit Griboyedov in the palm of his left hand near the thumb, but, due to the connection, his little finger cramped, and this subsequently prevented him, a musician, from playing the piano.”

The terrible death of Griboyedov
Griboyedov later developed a crippled finger, but he rarely played since then. And he had no time for the game - the idea of “Woe from Wit” appeared. As for the injury, it was precisely by this cramped little finger that his corpse was later identified in a pile of other mutilated bodies - after the extermination of the Russian embassy by fanatics on January 30 (February 11), 1829 in Tehran.
Griboedov, as you know, went to Persia as secretary of the Russian embassy, whose main task was to get the Shah to fulfill the articles of the peace treaty and, in particular, to pay indemnities following the Russian-Persian War. Let us note that the entire country was forced to pay for losing the war, and this significantly increased discontent in Persian society.
As a result, a crowd of outraged people attacked the Russian embassy. According to eyewitnesses, on that day there were about 100 thousand people at the embassy, “preceded by a crowd of boys and several instigators, with sticks and naked swords.” The leaders of the conspiracy quickly lost control of this crowd. Realizing the danger he was exposed to, Griboyedov sent a note to the Shah the day before the attack, which stated the need to ask the Russian government to withdraw the mission from Persia.
An eyewitness to the events later wrote: “Stones were already falling into the yard, and the frantic screams of the crowd at times merged into one general roar. These screams filled us with horror, and we asked each other, what will happen from all this?
It was also noted that the crowd consisted not only of merchants and mobs, but that among them were visible “those armed with firearms, as well as soldiers of various military detachments.” The Russian mission's convoy, consisting of 35 Cossacks, resisted, but the forces were too unequal. The hail of stones intensified, and Griboyedov tried in vain to appeal to the people: “no voice could be heard in such terrible turmoil.” The Cossacks, despising danger, gave their lives at great cost, but the entire convoy ultimately died in the battle. Griboedov himself also died.
Of the entire Russian embassy, only mission secretary Maltsov escaped, having managed to hide during the massacre. According to Maltsov himself, he was helped in this by a servant, who wrapped him in a carpet and placed him in the corner of the room, where there were other rolled up carpets.
According to Maltsov, the attack killed 37 people in the embassy and 19 attackers. Griboedov's body was transported to the Russian Empire and buried in Tiflis.
Naturally, the massacre at the Tehran embassy caused a diplomatic scandal. The Shah sent his grandson Khozrev Mirza to St. Petersburg to settle relations with Russia. His task was to achieve acceptance of an apology for the brutal murder and mitigation of the burden of indemnity. Among the rich gifts he presented to Russian Emperor Nicholas I was the famous Shah diamond. Ultimately, the massacre did not cause serious complications in relations between Russia and Persia, and the payment of the debt was delayed for five years.

The fate of Yakubovich
As for Yakubovich, in the Caucasus he became famous for his desperate bravery, unbridled courage and became the favorite of General Yermolov (who, by the way, only by chance did not have time to prevent his duel with Griboyedov, sending to arrest both). Yakubovich commanded the cavalry and made daring raids on enemy mountain camps. It is known, for example, that he instilled such fear in the local Circassians that they even frightened their children with him: “Yakub is coming!” And then he suddenly realized that it was time to stop “being weird,” showing reckless courage that no one needed, and get down to “business.” The uprising of December 14 (26), 1825 turned out to be such a thing.
Yakubovich was wounded in the Caucasus and arrived in St. Petersburg in the summer of 1825 with a bandage on his head. He spoke loudly, very eloquently, and quickly came into contact with Ryleev. As they say, in him the conspirators “saw something ideal, sublime. This was the Danton of the new revolution."
From the report of the investigative commission it is clear that Yakubovich did not personally enter into the conspiracy, but promised support to the Decembrists.
Already on Senate Square he offered his services to convince the rebels to surrender. He was told that the sovereign would grant forgiveness to everyone except the main instigators. Yakubovich went to the Decembrists and, returning, reported that they did not agree. According to the Decembrist plan, on the day of the uprising, Yakubovich, commanding the Izmailovsky Regiment and the Life Guards Marine Crew, was supposed to seize the Winter Palace and arrest the imperial family. But at the decisive moment he refused to carry out his plans. Apparently he didn't have the courage. And in the evening he went to the house of the Governor-General to find out what was happening to Count M.A. Miloradovich, the mortally wounded Decembrist Kakhovsky. At this time, his adjutant Alexander Bashutsky was traveling to the count, and Yakubovich offered to take him in his carriage. Bashutsky agreed, and, getting into the carriage, he felt that he was sitting on pistols. In response to his question what this meant, Yakubovich stated that the pistols were loaded and that the rioters wanted to kill him because he “did not agree to enter into a conspiracy with them.” However, this did not spare the “Caucasian” from punishment: he, like the other participants in the uprising, was convicted and sent into exile. Now one of the streets of St. Petersburg bears his name (this is how in 1923 the new Petrograd authorities appreciated the merits of this strange man in the “fight against tsarism”).

Oh! evil tongues are worse than a gun
You know, they don’t even bother me, but I’m quite surprised by people who always know everything and only their opinion is correct...
A little about the situation. I have been divorced for three years now, alone with three children. And if the two older ones are more independent, and for the most part require only material costs, then the youngest boy is still a preschooler, and what upset me most was that he did not have a model of a good family before his eyes, there was no worthy man nearby who could teach the right life and good things . At first after the divorce, I didn’t think about a relationship, I planned to find one “for my health,” because why do I need a daily brain dump... But, unfortunately, even this option is very, very difficult to find.
At a certain moment, I “matured”, I realized that I wanted it to be “mine and nearby”, on any day of the week and time of day, so to speak. That is, a man for life. No matter how funny it may sound, as soon as the image of the desired life partner matured in my head, he appeared. We literally had a couple of dates, and unnoticed he moved to live with us. Let me make a reservation right away that he is not an oligarch, he pays off the loan, and has his own problems in life. I never expected that the prince would come and shower me head over heels with money, and I would jump carefree and joyfully, not thinking about my daily bread. The only thing that is categorical is that I made it clear that it is important for me that the man does not drive me into the red, that is, does not worsen my financial condition.
So, with this man, we decided that he would take care of the groceries for the whole family. It’s clear that he eats a lot himself, but before that I also spent money on food. And, although he voiced that, if necessary, I can turn to him for all possible help with money, I somehow don’t yet think that my status allows me to do this, with my problems (and for the most part these are, of course, childish questions) I'm used to coping on my own.
But then, naturally, THEY appear - those who KNOW HOW IT SHOULD BE. “Oh, the guy has settled down well, he’s got his hands on everything that’s ready - you serve him, wash him, iron him, give him free sex, cook for him, and he only buys groceries? shake him hard." Well, let's think logically.
- I don’t serve him, the man is in his 50s, he is able to clean up after himself, wash the dishes, heat food and everything else. He’s also not ashamed to look after me.
- Do I wash? The machine wipes, and a couple of his clothes did not increase the volume of washes, because my children and I are not going anywhere.
- Ironing - see point 2.
- Sex - who said it's only for him? We both enjoy it.
- You cook - yes, naturally, the volume of cooking has increased, but the quality has also improved - I myself bought much less meat, fruit, etc.
We both profited and suffered a lot, discussed our expectations, and they very much coincided. Besides, you are my smart advisers, but at what price would you value what he does for me and my children? Plays with the youngest, sits with him if necessary, gives us his attention, tenderness, warmth, care. And finally, remember, there are a lot of things in life that cannot be valued in rubles or other currencies. And if two adults feel good together, they are happy with everything, please don’t interfere!!! We will somehow manage our finances, food, and everyday issues ourselves. And if you want to look very “smart,” don’t be surprised why I stopped communicating with you...
