Jelisaweta Alexandrowna Stroganowa war eine russische Aristokratin. Die Millionenerbin in spe galt zu ihrer Zeit wohl als die beste Partie, die es in Russland gab. Sie gehörte als eine Stroganow nicht nur zu den reichsten Familien Russlands, sondern war auch von besonderer Schönheit.
His father was Count Nikolai Nikitich Demidov (1773-1828) and his mother Baroness Elizaveta Alexandrovna Stroganova (1779-1818). He was the second eldest of four children, two of which lived to the adult age. [1] Most of his childhood was spent in Paris, where also his parents preferred to live.
