Biography
School at St. Andrew Monastery in Kiev, which was organized by Anna Vsevolodovna
According to the hypothesis of Vasily Grigorievich Vasilyevsky, in her youth, Anna was engaged to Konstantios Doukas, the son of the Byzantine emperor Constantine X Doukas (1006-1067), but the marriage did not take place because the groom was forced to become a monk [5]. This version is also supported by N. A. Baumgarten [6], G. V. Vernadsky [7], N. L. Pushkareva [8] and L. Voitovich [9]. According to another version, which V.G, Vasilyevsky opposed, Konstantios Doukas was engaged to the daughter of Robert Guiscard .
Together with her mother, Anna Vsevolodovna visited Byzantium [2].
Around 1086 in Kiev Grand Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavich for daughter [9] Women was founded by St. Andrew's Monastery , the first abbess of which was Anna Vsevolodovna, on the basis of the monastery [4] shorn a nun at the church of St. Andrew, who was there [2]. Having taken the monastery under her jurisdiction, she made considerable efforts to improve it [1]. She opened at the monastery the first in Europe [10] school for girls, in which she “gathered a girl, taught them writing, such as handicrafts, pnіyu and shvenіyu” [1]. The primary source of information about Anna’s school is the History of Russia V.N. Tatischeva [4].
Anna Vsevolodovna took part in the church-political activities of her father: in 1089, after the death of Metropolitan John II, she herself “ruled the embassy” in Byzantium for the new lord of the Russian Church, John III [4] . Legends of a later origin about her high art of healing are associated with the name of Anna Vsevolodovna [11].
She was buried in Yanchin Monastery, which was later destroyed by Batu Khan [1]. Time of canonization is unknown [4]. The memory of Anna Vsevolodovna is honored by the church on November 3 ( November 16 ) [12] (on the day of death) and on May 18 (31) [4] (according to Filaret Chernigovsky [13], on the day of the relics ).
