Anna was a very educated lady, fluent in German and French. At age 18, she married a naval officer, and 3 years later gave birth to his son Vladimir. But a happy marriage just before the moment when Anna Timiryova met in Kolchak.
They first met in 1915 in Helsingfors. It served as the husband of Anna, the captain of the first rank. It was a real passion! Anna Vasilyevna and Alexander Vasilyevich did not stop even the fact that they both were not free. Steel Part of the meeting, and the passion has evolved into love. Anna Timiryova simply idolized the then vice-admiral, and he often wrote to her touching letter.
In 1917, almost immediately after the revolution, the spouse Anna Timiryova emigrated, Kolchak's wife and son stayed in Paris. Once Kolchak returned from England, Anna Vasilyevna came to him. In 1918-1919, she worked in Omsk Anna Timiryova interpreter Press Department of the Office of the Council of Ministers and the Supreme Ruler of the affairs (so now styled Kolchak). Often she was seen at the hospital near the wounded and in a workshop on making underwear for men.
Anna V. Kolchak remained at all times: and when his army defeated the red, and when the leadership of the Czechoslovak Corps, with the tacit consent of the French General Janin, Kolchak agreed to give the Military Revolutionary Committee. When the KGB for two weeks questioned White Admiral, Anna is not only very willingly went under arrest, but was able to break three times to visit him - as she could support her lover in front of imminent death
.
After the shooting Kolchak Anna Anna Timiryova released from prison, but from that time, and began her real way of the cross. Already in June 1920, she was sent to two years of forced labor in a concentration camp Omsk. After his release from prison, she filed a petition to the authorities to leave the country in Harbin, where her first husband lived. But the answer came in a resolution - "Deny" and another year in prison. In 1922, she was arrested for the third time, and in 1925 was sent to prison for another three years "for communicating with foreigners and former white officers».
After the liberation of Anna V. married a railway engineer Vladimir Knipper. But the spring of 1935 brought a new arrest "for hiding his past." However, after some time the camp was replaced supervised accommodation Vyshny Volochyok, where she worked as a seamstress and janitress. In 1938 there was the sixth in a row arrest. But freedom of Anna came only after the war. By the time of her relatives no one left. 24-year-old son Volodya was shot May 17, 1938. Vladimir Knipper not resist baiting his wife in 1942 and died of a heart attack. Living in Moscow, Anna was not allowed, and she moved to Rybinsk (then Shcherbakov), sitting on a property man working at a local drama theater.
In December 1949, Anna Vasilyevna was arrested again. At this time, for anti-Soviet propaganda slanderous denunciation colleagues. Again, ten months in prison and Yaroslavl stage in Yeniseysk. Again returning to Rybinsk, and work again in the dramatic theater.
By the time she had looked like intelligent neat old lady with bright lively eyes. In the theater, no one knew the story of Anna Vasilyevna associated with Kolchak. Here are all wondering why the director of the theater (it was said that from the nobility) whenever seen Anna Vasilyevna came up and kissed her hand.
Anna Vasilyevna rehabilitated only in 1960. She immediately moved to Moscow and settled in a communal apartment on Plyushchikha. Oistrakh Shostakovich and procured her a pension of 45 rubles. Sometimes it was invited to the crowd at the "Mosfilm" - in the "Diamond Hand" Gaidai flashed as cleaners and in "War and Peace" Bondarchuk - the first ball of Natasha Rostova in the image of the noble old lady
.
In the five years before his death in 1970, she wrote the lines dedicated to the main love of his life - Alexander Kolchak:
half a century can not accept -
Nothing can help:
And you're leaving again
In that fateful night.
And I condemned to go,
Until blowjob term,
And confused way
The beaten road ...
But if I'm still alive
Contrary to the fate,
That just as love thy
And the memory of you.
