Famous and productive families in Russian and Czech histories

[Boele, O.F.]

The five brothers Bestuzhev, probaly best known for their share in the Decembrists rising , come to mind:  Alexander, Pavel, Nikolai, Mikhail, Petr. Alexander (who wrote underthe pseudonym of Marlinskii) was the most productive of them, but they were all very active writing, painting, writing music etc.

Otto Boele


Dear SEELANGERS, I am looking for the names of famous and culturally productive Russian and Czech families, such as Pushkin family, Mikhalkov, Tolstoy, on the Russian side, and Dvorak, Capek, Masaryk, and Benes on the Czech side.  Do you have any other names you could suggest?  And if you know of some infamous family, that might be interesting as well. Thank you very much.  Mila Saskova-Pierce
