The Khludov Dynasty: The Legacy and Heirs of the Moscow Merchants
14.99 €
This book by Dmitry Petrovich Abrikosov, a member of a renowned dynasty of Moscow confectioners and philanthropists, is dedicated to the Khludov merchant family, to which the author is closely connected. The history of the Khludov family of textile manufacturers and their descendants is closely linked to Moscow. Both the entrepreneurial activities and family life of this dynasty are rooted in the traditions of Moscow merchants.

In particular, the author focuses on the Khludovs' charitable activities, which included support for Moscow educational and scientific institutions, the construction of the Clinical Town on Devichye Pole, and other initiatives. Moscow addresses associated with the Khludov family are prominently featured in the book. The author has contributed unique photographs from the family archive, as well as documents from Czech archives.

The book pays special attention to the most prominent representative of the Khludov dynasty, Nadezhda Nikolaevna (Abrikosova in her first marriage, Kramář in her second), the wife of the Czech political figure, the first prime minister of independent Czechoslovakia, K. P. Kramář.
