1782
Princess Yekaterina Romanovna Dashkova was an Imperial Russian Court lady-in-waiting, namely a Statsdame and a close friend of Empress Catherine the Great. She headed the Russian Academy of Sciences and was a major figure of the Russian Enlightenment. Dashkova was an exceptional personality in Russian history, at least because in XVIII century women, apart from royalty, were not allowed to participate in governmental affairs.
“Then I examined the house of the late banker Frederiks and agreed with his widow upon the price, which didn’t exceed 30 000 roubles. I asked the Empress’ permission to buy it, to what she answered that she had already ordered the Cabinet to pay whatever price of the house I would like to buy…”
