My bride Miss Anfisa Antonovna Kramskaya graduated from Bestuzhev Courses in 1913 and started to work in Commercial Bank in St. Petersburg on Nevsky Prospekt 59.
The Bestuzhev Courses were the largest and most prominent women's higher education institution in Imperial Russia.
The institute opened its doors in 1878. It was named after Konstantin Bestuzhev-Ryumin, the first Director. The most famouse professors of the Bestuzhev Courses were Alexander Borodin, Faddei Zielinski, Dmitry Mendeleyev, Ivan Sechenov, and Sergey Platonov. A building for Bestuzhev Courses on the 10th line of Vasilevsky Island was built in 1885 on a draft of Academician of Architecture A. Krasovsky.
