Сниткины, породнившиеся с Достоевским
The Snitkins Who Became Relatives of Dostoevsky

Summary/Abstract: The article studies the paternal and maternal relatives of Anna Grigorievna, Dostoevsky’s wife (the Snitkins and the Miltopeus correspondingly). In the Funds of the Central State Historical Archive of Saint Petersburg there were found church books and funeral lists concerning 68 representatives of the dynasty. Based on these data the genealogical table of six generations of the Snitkin family and of three generations of the Miltopeus family was composed. The revealed facts allow specifying, rectifying and updating some biographical data of Dostoevsky’s relatives and the dates of some events. They may be used while describing Dostoevsky’s acquaintances and his family’s manuscripts, commenting on their correspondence, diaries and memoirs for a scientific purpose. The collected data are systematized in a documented genealogical table and create an integral image of one family, the Snitkins, whose representatives were in an immediate surrounding of the writer. Anna Grigorievna, F. M. Dostoevsky’s loyal life partner, assistant and keeper of his memory, belonged to the same family.
