Elizaveta Dyakonova was born on August 15, 1874 in Nerekhta, Kostroma province, into a poor merchant family. From the age of 11, she kept a diary, the first entry in which dates back to May 1886. The diary was started in Nerekhta, and continued in Yaroslavl, where the family moved after the death of their father. What are these early years filled with? Domestic life flows, rather gloomy, gymnasium life drags on - "learning, learning, to infinity." World news also gets into the diary: the collapse of the royal train in October 1888, the resignation of Bismarck, the death of Alexander III. The sentimental notes of a provincial girl quickly turn into a diary in the most serious sense of the word: these are no longer naive lines, but the result of "the mind of cold observations and the heart of sad remarks." Lisa reflects on her destiny, on her unwillingness to follow the rules and standards that family and society impose. In May 1891, she graduated from the gymnasium and, dreaming of continuing her education, against the will of her mother, entered the Bestuzhev Women's Higher Courses in St. Petersburg. New impressions, new experience, a turning point in fate, the happiest and almost unbelievable: “... am I free? and I can go wherever I want, do what I want, act as I want, and I am no longer bound by these chains of slavery... Isn't that true? I’m studying… I’m taking courses…” Lisa’s life sparkled with new colors: student holidays and rallies, political and religious-philosophical circles, newspaper and magazine editorial offices, acquaintance with the writer V. Korolenko, publicist M. Menshikov, public figure N. Neplyuev ... She reads avidly - poetry and prose, fiction and treatises, in Russian and French. Every now and then, the names and lines of Pushkin, Lermontov, Griboyedov, Turgenev, Zhukovsky, Tyutchev, Nekrasov, Fet, Shakespeare, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Madame de Stael, Goethe, Schiller, Byron, Stendhal, Hugo, Maupassant, Zola appear on her diary pages. , Frans ... The main name for her in literature is Leo Tolstoy, whom she idolizes, sometimes disputes, but she has an internal dialogue with whom she has been conducting all her life. At the end of 1900, Elizabeth went to Paris, enrolling in the law faculty of the Sorbonne. At this time, she fell hopelessly in love with her psychiatrist, who treated her for headaches and fatigue. However, despite constant ailments, the girl made big plans for the future: she wanted to become a writer and activist of the women's movement, which originated in Russia following the example of England and France. But fate decreed otherwise ... In the summer of 1902, Dyakonova went on vacation to Russia, going to "dear Nerekhta" to prepare for the exams for the second year. On the way, she turned into Tyrol, where her relatives were resting at that time. Here, in the picturesque surroundings of Lake Achensee, the tragedy occurred. The girl went to the mountains alone in inclement weather and did not return. They unsuccessfully searched for her for a whole month, and when they discovered a lifeless body, the circumstances of death caused a huge amount of speculation ... “Liza seems to have committed suicide,” wrote her sister Nadezhda Dyakonova. “They found her undressed by the stream, her dress tied with a page. She threw herself from one of the ledges, but unsuccessfully, broke both legs, the suffering was probably terrible ... But it can also be assumed that she went crazy from horror and hunger, undressed and rushed ... Everything is very strange ... "Elizabeth's brother, Alexander Dyakonov, on the contrary, vehemently denied his sister's suicide, painting a picture of an accident. Relatives tried to find answers to numerous questions in the girl’s diary, which began with the words: “I would not want to die without leaving any trace on the earth; this desire is insane on my part, but what can I do, I am writing the truth ”... Lisa’s extremely sincere diary was recognized as a vivid literary work: the short life of the girl, described by herself, deserved the attention of readers and critics. “The late Elizaveta Dyakonova set herself the same goal as Maria Bashkirtseva, to write a “diary” that would serve as a “photo of a woman,” noted in the Petersburg Newspaper, “<…> Dyakonova is true to the truth and real to the last stroke.”
