In memory of the years of torment, she had a bracelet cast from her husband's shackles …
Polina and Ivan Annenkov were married already in Siberia, where the common-law wife got there, having received permission from Emperor Nicholas I to accompany her beloved, sentenced to 20 years in hard labor. Until 1825, Polina did not even dream of marrying him: a marriage with a simple girl would never have been approved by Ivan's mother. But no one could forbid her to go into exile after him. Having received the French woman's petition, the emperor did not interfere with her desire, however, he forbade taking with him the illegitimate daughter, whom Pauline Geble gave birth to.
Soon after Polina's arrival, the wedding took place, Ivan was allowed to take off the shackles at the ceremony, but after - he again faced the plight of the prisoner. Avoiding unequal marriage, Praskovya Annenkova (the girl received a Russian name) happily accepted the status of a convict's wife. Gradually, life in exile improved, but Praskovya's life was not easy: she rarely saw her husband, and spent most of those years alone. The situation was aggravated by her pregnancies: she gave birth 18 times, but only 6 children survived.
A few years later, the Annenkovs received permission to leave for Tobolsk, where Ivan entered the service, began to earn money to support a large family. After the amnesty of 1856, the couple moved to Nizhny Novgorod, where they lived for another 20 years in love and harmony.
