Alexander Kolchak and Anna Timileva

During the period of reform and opening up, and in the early 1990s when the story of debunking the old hero began to be broadcast, the domestic media told about Admiral Kolchak and Anna Timileva. A stunningly beautiful love story of Mileva. A fighter for a free Russia, she was brutally shot by the Bolsheviks, and she remained loyal to him until her final days, after spending decades in prison and exile.

The movie "The Admiral" released in 2008 finally formed the great and tragic love picture of the noble Russian patriot and his loyal lady among the citizens.

With a $20 million movie, the truth can't compete. Starting from the true story between Alexander Kolchak and Anna Timileva, we can recall a sentence said by the heroine of the very popular movie "The Loud Days" in the Soviet years: Love often degrades a person , ruining a person's life. I don’t even know if more noble deeds or despicable deeds were done in the name of love.

I stand at your feet with all my strength, as for my God"

At a ball in the Naval Council, Sofia, the daughter of the actual Privy Councilor Fyodor Omirov, met the heroic officer Alexander Gall Chak.

As a hereditary noble, Sophia received an excellent education at Smolny Academy. At the same time, the girl had a strong character and was not afraid of hardships, which was very useful for her later in life.

Sophia was strong-willed and independent. The woman, softened by the charm of a handsome man in a naval uniform and agreed to become his wife, agreed that after the expedition to Kolchak

eternal anticipation would be the fate of Sofia Feodorovna. . Before becoming a wife, when Kolchak was walking along the edge of the polar expedition, she had every chance to become a widow.

He wrote her a beautiful letter: It has been two months since I left you, my infinity. My dear, the whole picture of our meeting is so vivid before me, so painful and painful, as if just yesterday I spent so many sleepless nights in the hut, pacing from corner to corner, so many longings, bitterness , desolate... Without you, my life has no meaning, no goal, no joy. I bring all my strength to your feet, and as for my God, I give all my strength to you. ... The island and the cape were named after the bride.

One expedition went into another and they were married only four years later. The wedding in St. Halampi's Church in Irkutsk was new. A joyful moment before farewell - Kolchak took part in the Russo-Japanese War

Sofia and Alexander Kolchak

Your dear Sonia"

Sofia Kolchak will always bear the loss, pain and suffering. Their first daughter would never see her father - the girl died when she was less than a month old, while her father continued his mission in the Far East.

Sofia would give birth to her husband's son Rostislav in 1910, and her daughter Margarita in 1913. The strange marriage of letters was a difficult test for the wife, but she continued to write to her husband, full of warmth: Dear Sashenka! Count and sing to herself when she wants to sleep... How are you? Where are you now? How did the exercise go, your destroyer intact? I'm glad you are satisfied with your work. I'm afraid there won't be a war, there's a lot of discussion here. I'm reading a novel in Italian about General Garibaldi. I sew and count the days. Write about yourself. Your dear Sonia.

The beginning of the First World War will turn into a new tragedy for Sofia Kolchak. The naval officer's family lived in Libava and he soon found himself in danger of being captured by the Germans.

There was no organized evacuation and Sofia Kolchak, with two small children in her arms, was forced to flee, leaving behind all her belongings.

The noble naval officer did not raise a hand to help his wife and children. Understandably, war requires self-denial.

The cost of this was high - little Rita caught a cold on the road and died in the arms of Gatchina's mother. No one but Sofia Kolchak could help him through his grief. Having only one son, Rostislav, Sofia gathered her will into a fist and kept herself from going crazy.

Fighting Friend’s Wife

She thinks she not only needs a son, but also a husband. Somewhere in her mind, she hoped Alexander would help her cope with the loss of her second daughter. Incorrect.

In January 1915 Alexander Kolchak left Petrograd for his duty station in Helsingfors. The carriage of the train was shared with classmate, colleague and friend Sergei Nikolayevich Timilev.. During their studies in the Marine Corps , they were in the same company: Kolchak - a sergeant-major, Timilev - a non-commissioned officer. Then they had the opportunity to participate in the defense of Port Arthur together. Sergey Timilev, who was one year younger than Kolchak, always had great respect for him.

Timilev’s wife Anna came to the station to see him off.

Anya Safonova, the daughter of a famous Russian conductor and pianist, married naval officer Sergei Timilev at the age of 18. In October 1914 the couple gave birth to a son named Vladimir.

Sergei Timilev was unlikely to have imagined the threat that meeting at the station posed to him.

A few months later Anna-Timireva would come to her husband in Helsingfors and so, as she recalled, look around and prepare to move with her children.

The officers invited colleagues to their evening parties, and at one of the meetings Kolchak talked for a long time with his friend's wife.

Their romance was beautiful to the novelist"

By the spring of 1915, Anna Timileva moved to Helsingfors, and her meetings with Kolchak began to be systematic.

Wherever we are Meet up and it always turns out we are close, we don't talk enough and he always says you don't need to, you know, who knows if it will be as good as it is today. Everyone is tired but for us it's It was not enough for him and me, we were on the crest of a wave, she recalls. Sofia Kolchak was in Helsingfors at that time, Alexander Kolchak's biographer Pa. Ver Chirianov writes: Everyone sees and notices everything, and gossip is of course inevitable, and apparently the two women maintain a friendly relationship. Fortunately, we don't know. What happened to these families.

Years later the admiral's son Rostislav Kolchak refused to understand his father. Their romance was beautiful to the novelist, but when the two married the church. Others in the room, who consider themselves to be orthodox, act strangely when they indulge their impulses in front of everyone!

A Troublesome Story of Betrayal

What's so wonderful about this story that Alexander Kolchak didn't just betray? He also did this publicly in front of everyone for the sake of his wife, who had gone through incredible trials.

Among Russian military officers, having an affair with a colleague's wife was considered despicable. Kolchak did this not only with his colleagues.

Anna Timileva not only betrayed her husband, but also betrayed her son, who was less than one year old at the time.

We know that Anna Timileva has been accompanying Gore. Chuck, who became her de facto husband until his execution.Her husband dutifully endured the humiliation and continued to serve under Kolchak during the Civil War, holding the virtual position of naval commander of the White Movement in the Far East.

The Tragedy of Vladimir Timilev

What about their son Volodya? While his mother followed her lover, Vova-Timirev lived with his grandparents in Kislovodsk. The boy had to endure the death of two relatives, after which he remained in the care of several strangers. It was not until Anna Timileva was released from prison in 1922 that she took her son to Moscow.

Vladimir Timilev has a tragic biography. Although at first it seemed his mother's problems with the authorities would bypass him. He graduated from high school in Khamovniki, Moscow, then studied at the Academy of Architecture and Design, then at the Moscow Institute of Architecture and Design.

Vladimir Sergeyevich became a member of the Union of Soviet Artists, his personal exhibition was held in Moscow.

A 23-year-old genius boy was killed by love. He accidentally fell in love with Natasha Kravchenko, the daughter of a famous Soviet artist. The girl's parents objected to their relationship. Natasha's mother Ksenia Stepanovna Kravchenko , By the way, she herself was of aristocratic origin, she warned Timilev: If you don't leave your daughter behind In the back of my mind, I would take my own measures.

Young and passionate Vladimir did not heed the warning and got a promise from his beloved to marry him. Then an experienced woman wrote to NKVD and she said that Timilev was talking to the driver of the German Embassy.

It was the terrifying climax of the spring of 1938. There was no one around to take trouble from Vladimir. Then there are the adventures of the mother, and the identity of Kolchak's stepson.

On May 17, 1938, Vladimir Timilev was sentenced to death. The sentence was executed on May 28, 1938.

Father Sergei Timilev did not know his son's tragic fate - he died of throat cancer in June 1932 while in exile in Shanghai.

The Last Warning

Sofia Kolchak last saw her husband in May 1917 The place was Sevastopol , where at that moment he was serving. She accompanied him Went to Petrograd on business, but he never came back.

She was waiting for him in Sevastopol, and by that time he had become one of the leaders of the white movement. Sofia was in danger of being arrested almost every minute. News reported that the husband was still alive, but his wife's place was now actually occupied by Anna Timileva

Kolchak now wrote tender letters to her, not to his wife: How I wish. I give you these flowers - these are not violets , nor lilies of the valley , but very tender, divine beauty that can compete with roses. They are worth looking at them and thinking of you...

October 1919 High. Erchak wrote the following letter to his wife: I have always felt that I was not attentive and caring enough for you. I think I did everything I had to do, in the current bloody struggle. In the meantime, you will be safe and able to live peacefully outside of Russia until she is resurrected... Please do not forget my position and do not allow yourself to write. I cannot read it to the end because I spoiled the first phrase which was contrary to decency. Every letter after that. If you let others hear gossip about me, I won't let you tell me. Hopefully this warning will be the last.

A lifetime punishment for this admiral with his mistress. bed, giving his wife a final warning as he tries to figure out what happened to their relationship.

Sofia Fedorovna Kolchak managed to leave Russia with her son and they settled in. France.This determined woman did not settle scores with her dead traitor husband, although she certainly had something to say to Alexander Kolchak.

During World War II , Rostislav Kolchak, who fought in the French army, will be captured by the German army. Sofia Fedorovna waited and hoped again, and this time she would wait - her son would come back alive from captivity.

Kolchak's widow would die in France in the spring of 1956. Nine years later, Rostislav Kolchak would not.

Anna Timireva, despite spending many years in prison and exile, will definitely outlive all the participants in this drama. He will leave behind memories of his love that will make impressionable citizens shed tears.

But love often degrades a person and destroys his life. I don’t even know if more noble deeds or despicable deeds were done in the name of love.
