Famous and productive families in Russian and Czech histories (2)

[Dassia Posner]

There are the Chaliapins:
Fedor Ivanovich Chaliapin, the singer
* His older son Boris, a visual artist (show earlier this year of his TIME
covers at the National Portrait Gallery in D.C.:
http://www.si.edu/Exhibitions/Details/Mr-TIME-Portraits-by-Boris-Chaliapin-4
927)
* His younger son Fedor, a Hollywood actor (THE NAME OF THE ROSE and
MOONSTRUCK)
* His eldest daughter Irina, an actress who stayed in Moscow when the rest
of the family emigrated
* Other daughters: Tania worked for Voice of America, and Lydia taught voice
classes.
Chaliapin came from peasant stock, so we can¹t trace illustrious family
members in the other directionŠ
In theatre, the Komissarzhevsky family also comes to mind.  And Anton and
Mikhail Chekhov.
Best,
Dassia

Offhand - 
The Solovyovs: father Sergey (historian); sons Vladimir (philosopher) and
Vsevolod (writer); related to Grigoriy/Hryhorii Skovoroda (philosopher), on
their mother's side.
The Korvin-Krukovsky sisters: Sofia Kovalevskaya (mathematician), Anne
Jaclard (revolutionary and early feminist)
The Rimsky-Korsakov brothers: Voin (explorer), Nikolai (composer);
Maximilian Steinberg (composer) was married to  Nikolai's daughter.
I believe somebody mentioned the Benois family of architects and painters
(Benois, Lanceray, Serebriakov, Glazunov, etc.)
