She was also one of the first female philatelists in Russia.
She was born Anna Snitkina in St. Petersburg in 1846 to Maria Anna and Grigory Ivanovich Snitkin. She graduated academic high school summa cum laude and subsequently trained as a stenographer. In October 1866 she began working as a stenographer on Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel The Gambler, and he proposed to her a month later. They were married in February 1867 and went abroad from 1868-1871. Shortly before their departure, two of Dostoyevsky’s creditors filed charges against him, having lost all of his money playing roulette. Anna took over all finance issues, including publishing business matters and negotiations, and soon liberated her husband from debt. In 1871, Dostoyevsky gave up gambling.
Anna never remarried following her husband’s death in 1881. She went on to collect his manuscripts, letters, documents and photographs and, in 1906, she created a room dedicated to Fyodor Dostoyevsky in the State Historical Museum. Her stamp collection was established in 1867 in Dresden. She died in Yalta in 1918, aged 71.
SAMUEL SOLOMONOVICH KOTELIANSKY (February 28, 1880 - January 21, 1955) was a Russian-born British translator. He made the transition from his origins in a small Jewish shtetl to distinction in the rarefied world of English letters. Although he was not a creative writer himself, he befriended, corresponded with, helped publish, and otherwise served as intermediary between some of the most prominent people in English literary life in the early twentieth century.показать меньше
