The Stroganov dynasty for four centuries was one of the richest and most powerful in Russia. Its ancestors are Pomeranian peasants who lived fishing, hunting, and salt mining.
The first in the genealogical tree is Spyridon, which was born at the end of the XIV century. He was followed by Kuzma, Luke, Fedor.Merits to the Fatherland opened their doors to possible regalia.
The Stroganovs became barons at the beginning of the 18th century, and then received the count's title.Everything collapsed in October 1917. The era of eternal exile began. The young princess, nee Sofya Vasilchikova, fled abroad with four small daughters.One of them, Ksenia, married Baron Andre Ludinghausen-Wolf. In Paris, her only child was born - Elena, Baroness Ludinghausen, the last of the Stroganov family.
The motto of the Stroganov clan is "Wealth to the Fatherland, a name for itself," Elena Andreevna follows all her life.
- Elena Andreevna, if this land was yours again, what would you first build on it?
- Church. Always. And then school. These were two very important things for the Stroganovs. God and education. As you know, I can't live well alone if people around me don't live well. It's impossible for me.

Always and uncompromisingly, the only way you know how!
