Abstract

The article is based on the Boutorov family’s autodocumentary texts and devoted to the life, economic activity and social environment of the family of hereditary noblemen who lived in Syzran district of Simbirsk province in 1890 - 1917. The author analyzes the circumstances of the Boutorov’s move from the capital to the province, since this was atypical behavior for the Russian nobility at the turn of the XIX - XX century. On the basis of the family memories, she makes an attempt to reconstruct the image of the Boutorov’s estate (destroyed during the revolutionary events) as a «Nest of Gentlefolk» and a standard of family life for its owners.
