  1. I can't but mention a prominent actress of our time Maria Aronova, who was born today. Most of all I like her performings in the theatre. It seems to me that she is a woman of great talent. So, my congratulations!!!

  4. I can add that Ivan Nabokov died 21 April 1852 in Saint Petersburg and was buried in the Peter and Paul Fortress, near Peter and Paul Cathedral. His brother Nikolay was a progenitor of the novelist Vladimir Nabokov.
