Talk:Moura Budberg

Untitled
She was an interesting character and deserves a page if somebody can do more research on her. I hope they will. Xxanthippe 03:17, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. --Michael C. Price talk 20:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

"She visited the Soviet Union ... with her daughter Guchkov" - a funny mistake. She did visit the USSR with another famous spy, Vera Guchkov-Trail (see the memoirs of Olga Ivinskaya), but Vera was the daughter of Alexander Guchkov, not Budberg's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZMatskevich (talk • contribs) 11:32, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

The Bruce Lockhart connection
Her appearance in his memoirs is stated in one of the The National Archives files on her. Jackiespeel (talk) 23:02, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

There should be mention of her telling the authorities that Anthony Blunt was a Communist - 'Only in England could a Communist be Keeper of the King's Pictures' - the remark being discounted). Jackiespeel (talk) 22:22, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

her husband Mr. Benkendorff wasn't a count, although related to counts Benkendorff — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.185.225.71 (talk) 19:59, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Consistent Naming
Maybe we should be consistent in how we refer to her - she is variously referred to as Budberg and Zakrevskaya in the article. However, she was usually referred to as Moura by her friends... Jpaulm (talk) 16:36, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Jendel
Jendel is a German name of the village. Was the manor named Jendel? German page says Gutshaus von Jäneda.Xx236 (talk) 09:48, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Interesting question! When I Googled Jäneda, Yendel, Jendel, I found a number of references giving Jendel as the German name for Jäneda, with the manor being called Yendel (with a Y) - bit strange, but this seems to be the majority position.  There is also a link in Estonian - http://epl.delfi.ee/news/kultuur/huvitav-raamat-vaikeste-iluvigadega?id=50720642 - apparently saying (via Google Translate): "But Yendel itself is misleading. Jäneda German name, which is not necessarily a long time, it was quite Jendela.", which I take to mean that Yendel is really the German name Jendel, Anglicized, and is the name of the village.

Family
According to a pedigree given to me by Count Constantin Benckendorff (1880-1959) in the 1950s, his relative Johann (Hans) Alexandrovitch Benckendorff had two children, Paul born 11 September 1913 and Tatiana born 2 January 1915, presumably by Moura, though she is not specifically mentioned as their mother. These children are not, of course, detailed in the cited account of the Zakrevsky family in Ikonnikov's La noblesse de Russie. The other details in that account were provided by Moura's sister Anna (1887-1941), Princess Kotchoubei, whose husband was Marshal of the Nobility at Piriatine and a member of the Douma.
