She was my father's second cousin. Her grandmother was my great-great-grandmother, Varvara Ivanovna Narishkina née Ladomirsky, a great beauty whose genes of beauty ran through all her descendance, including my great-great-niece (my younger brother's great-grand-daughter) who will be one year old next month.
Vierotchka incredible! The silent travel of time continues! How sad I feel that our native land had to go through this incredible turmoil that cast so many families level with the ground!
Невероятно красивая женщина, славная графиня, талантливая, образованная с невероятной судьбой. Рассматривать ее портреты и фотографии, это как лечить бальзамом душу. Как же приятно осознавать, что это наши соотечественники.
Непростая судьба у этой прекрасной женщины, в молодости она просто королева, до чего же женственная, красавица! Умерла на чужбине, хотя все её богатства, дворцы остались в России, жаль
Princess Yusupova was exquisite and very popular lady with a reputation of being generous and kind. Unfortunately, according to the Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, she was an adoring but "tragic" mother who found few faults with her wayward sons and over indulged both with lethal consequences.
Princess Yusupova did attempt a cautionary warning to her much loved son Prince Felix Youssoupoff: "A person's reputation is his best wealth! How to protect it! The slightest stain spreads, and eventually, all our business will sooner or later come to light. We must live some business, some ideal, not forgetting that not everything ends on earth and that we will someday give an account of our lives not only to people but to God.." Nov 12 1913.
She is absolutely beautiful but I think one artist who truly captured her beauty was Serov in his portrait of her. In that portrait you forget that she was an aristocrat but all you see is a beautiful innocent woman.
I wish I could know more about her and get more pictures coz she seems like one of the most interesting historical figures but alas everywhere I look the only thing they say about her is that she was a spoilt heiress who was also a bad mother because she didn't teach her children any humility. Apparently her children were very spoilt!
@lesYoussoupoff They were all so priveledged but so doomed. I am ashamed to say that I don't know who this one is..if you would tell I would be grateful. Thanks anyway, a beautiful video.
Esta princesa es la mamá de Félix Yusupov, nada más y nada menos que el famoso asesino de Rasputín. Félix heredó los ojos y la bella mirada de su madre, mientras que el primer hijo de ésta heredó las facciones del padre, el esposo de la princesa. Cosas de la genética, no?

@@DrTairaK Sad to see the Yusupovs lose billions of rubles while peasants starved?

Какая же она красивая проста классическая красота
She was so beautiful! Her heart was broken after her older son died. So sad.
She was good and kind and understood the responsibility of noblesse oblige. May her good name live on for many, many years!
Мама Феликса Юсупова красивая женщина.Думаю,что утончённые черты лица Феликса это от его мамы.
thank you she is so absolutely very beautiful

Where’s the stunning portrait by Valentin Serov?
Bellissima
Thank you for this wonderful collage of images of Princess Zenaida Yusupova. Her beauty was legendary, as was her graciousness and generosity.
Zenaifa is' t correctly.
ZImaida
A great woman, I admire her SO MUCH. She was a great beauty, by face and by heart too. The epitome of true glamour, elegance and femininity.

А где же портрет, написанный В.Серовым?
Great video. Thank you !
BEAUTİFUL .. THANK YOU XX
She is absolutely beautiful but I think one artist who truly captured her beauty was Serov in his portrait of her. In that portrait you forget that she was an aristocrat but all you see is a beautiful innocent woman.
Serov also did the portrait of Nick II. As an artist he tried to capture the essence of his subject. Spot on with Zenaida and Nicholas.
Your videos are marvellous.
Mersi

+fiorella24522 first son was killed in a duel in 26 years. The old curse existed Yusupov - senior will not live up to 26 years. Mystic.
Какая связь между Юсуповыми и Фаткулиными?
