° 23.4.1777 Loxley Hall [illustration ci-dessous] + 2.10.1846 Grove End Road 18 – London
Extraits de « Monseigneur de Soultz » :
1777
Au mois de mars, mon mari fut obligé de rejoindre son régiment en France. Je demeurai chez mon frère pour faire mes couches ; elles eurent lieu en avril. Je mis au monde un garçon que l’on nomma Clément, du nom de mon frère qui fut son parrain.
Clément Joseph Philip Pen que ses parents appelleront familièrement Clem sera l’aîné d’une tribu de onze enfants, dont trois ne survivront pas, chose courante à l’époque. Né en Angleterre, il possède donc la nationalité britannique ; ce détail va avoir toute son importance bien plus tard …
1794
Quelques jours plus tard, mon fils Clément fut nommé officier [illustration ci-dessous] dans l’artillerie à cheval et, par bonté de l’Impératrice, ma famille reçut les moyens d’entreprendre le voyage pour la Russie. Combien de remerciements mon coeur n’éleva-t-il pas au ciel pour ces nobles bienfaits ?…
1799
Nous arrivâmes le 19 septembre à Ropsha. Mon fils Clément vint à notre rencontre ; nos retrouvailles eurent lieu au milieu d’une prairie et elles furent des plus touchantes Des larmes de joie mouillaient nos visages …
Clément nous avait fait bâtir une jolie chaumière avec granges, écuries et tout ce que contient une grande métairie. La maison que j’avais fait construire deux ans auparavant fut destinée à notre bailli. Tous les bâtiments sont faits en bois, des troncs d’arbres posés l’un sur l’autre, avec des toits en chaume. Quand on est entouré de forêts comme nous l’étions, la dépense pour ce genre de construction n’est pas grande. Une terrasse de dix pieds nous sépare de la rivière, bordée de très beaux arbres. En été, ils nous donnent de l’ombre et en hiver, ils nous mettent à couvert des vents de la mer. Derrière la maison se trouve un petit bois entrecoupé de sentiers, qui en font le plus joli jardin anglais. Tout l’espace entre les deux maisons est rempli par un jardin potager.
Début 1930, l’ancienne propriété de Clément de Bode est devenue une ferme collective
Comme la vente de bois à brûler devait constituer notre principal revenu, Clément avait fait construire deux bateaux pour en assurer le transport jusqu’à St-Pétersbourg. Quelques jours après notre arrivée, il en expédia tout un chargement qui fut malheureusement assailli par un ouragan en mer. Nous perdîmes ainsi non seulement le bâtiment et la cargaison mais également tout le profit.
Heureusement, les hommes purent se sauver en se réfugiant sur le rocher qui avait brisé leur bateau. Clément supporta cette épreuve avec une grande force de caractère ; il paya même les marins, bien qu’ils avaient eu tort de naviguer la nuit pendant une tempête sans mouiller l’ancre, ce qui doit toujours être fait dans cette terrible mer.
Pendant l’hiver, nous avions coupé, préparé et assemblé du bois car Clément faisait reconstruire un nouveau bateau. Ce projet occupait toutes nos conversations ; aller constater les progrès de la construction était notre promenade favorite. Il utilisa les excellents bois situés près de notre village de Thengorom, sur la pointe de la péninsule à 30 ou 40 vestres d’ici. Nous les faisions transporter par traîneau ou bien nous les acheminions jusqu’à la rivière Merdwitza par la Luga, [illustration ci-dessous] notre petite rivière coulant jusqu’aux pieds de nos fenêtres, un excellent moyen de communication fluviale nous reliant à Narva.
Tout comme le premier bateau construit l’année précédente, le nouveau fut chargé de bois. Faisant voile de concert sur les flots du Golfe de Finlande, ils pénétrèrent la Néva et apportèrent leur cargaison en toute sécurité jusqu’à Pétersbourg.
Les archives contiennent une lettre du baron Clément de Bode adressée au ministre Egor Egorovitch Wrangel [illustration ci-contre] pour lui suggérer de récompenser les paysans de Ropsha dont la courageuse intervention (en 1856) avait permis de sauver du naufrage l’équipage du navire marchand britannique « Halcyon ».
1803
L’automne suivant, l’entreprise commerciale de Clément connaît un nouveau désastre. Une tempête, telle que l’on en rencontre une fois tous les 25 ans, provoque la perte de trois de ses navires dans le Golfe de Finlande. La Molly, le Clément, la Charlotte sombrent corps et biens …
1814
Mars 1814, le balancier de l’histoire s’est renversé : une armée alliée est entrée en France et marche sur la capitale. Clément de Bode est à la tête d’une « Opolchenie » (milice) de Cosaques volontaires, composée de 35 officiers et de 599 hommes de troupe, organisés en un régiment de cavalerie portant son nom et payé sur ses fonds propres. Les Cosaques des armées alliées seront à l’origine d’une dangereuse réputation : « Si Napoléon avait pu disposer de Cosaques, il serait depuis longtemps empereur de Chine !… » Caracolant à la tête de ses troupes, Alexandre Ier entre dans Paris [illustration ci-dessous]. L’apparition des Cosaques et leur installation en bivouac sur les Champs-Elysées soulève la stupéfaction.
Parmi les officiers du tsar, Clément de Bode est également du voyage. Ayant pour un temps abandonné ses affaires de transport maritime, il sert son souverain avec honneur et distinction. Très aimé de l’Empereur, à la tête d’un régiment [Clément est représenté ci-dessous à gauche] d’un régiment de cavalerie qui porte son nom, il prend part aux campagnes de 1812 et 1814. de cavalerie qui porte son nom, il prend part aux campagnes de 1812 et 1814.
Après l’entrée des troupes russes à Paris, Clément de Bode est fait chevalier de Sainte-Anne et Alexandre lui octroie l’ordre de Saint-Wladimir. Outre les médailles pour Leipzig, Elbe, Torgau, Meisin et Magdebourg, Clément est décoré du célèbre ordre prussien « Pour le Mérite », créé par Fréderic-le-Grand [illustration ci-contre].
Après le Congrès de Vienne, Clément de Bode, né en Grande-Bretagne et donc de nationalité anglaise, ensuite son fils, tenteront désespérément de récupérer le fief de Soultz-sous-Forêts mais sans succès. Ils perdent santé et fortune dans un procès qui durera plus de 45 ans et deviendra une Cause célèbre, unique dans les annales judiciaires britanniques ! Sous les prétextes les plus fallacieux, jamais les autorités de la Perfide Albion n’accepteront d’indemniser les Bode, alors que la France avait versé des sommes substantielles au gouvernement de Sa Majesté afin de dédommager les anciens propriétaires, victimes des confiscations opérées durant la Révolution. L’écoeurement est total dans la presse britannique et l’opinion publique. On ira même jusqu’à accuser ouvertement, et non sans raison, le roi George IV d’Angleterre d’avoir fait effectuer d’importants travaux d’agrandissement à Buckingham Palace avec les fonds destinés à indemniser les Bode.

Issue de la famille fondatrice de la « Manufacture Gardner » [illustration ci-contre], l‘une des plus anciennes manufactures de porcelaine de Russie, fondée en 1754 par Francis Gardner, aujourd’hui fournisseur officiel du Kremlin. Située à Verbilki (petite ville de la région de Moscou), la Manufacture de Gardner a créé durant ses 250 ans d’existence de véritables chef-d’oeuvres qui décoraient des Palais impériaux de Russie et d’Europe.
1800
« Madame la comtesse de Chouvalov [illustration ci-dessous] nous pria, Marie et moi, de passer l’hiver chez elle en ville, ce que nous acceptâmes avec la plus grande satisfaction. Elle eut la bonté de permettre que mes deux fils aînés et ma fille Fréderique fussent également de la partie.
Une femme si aimable, agréable, riche, généreuse, noble et d’humeur aussi gaie … nous ne pouvions nous sentir que fort heureuses en sa compagnie. Demeurant dans un superbe hôtel sa société était la première de Saint-Pétersbourg.
Pendant notre séjour auprès de la comtesse Chouvalov, mon fils Clément s’était attaché à une demoiselle anglaise du nom de Gardner. Lorsque tout fut arrangé, le mariage eut lieu au palais [illustration ci-dessous] de la Comtesse, sa société était la première de Saint-Pétersbourg. Après la cérémonie, Clément ramena sa jolie petite femme dans sa maison à Ropsha. Et ils furent très heureux !… »

Was a St Petersburg merchant in the family firm and also took up Russian citizenship from 1846-1871. He retired in 1890 first to Cornwall and then about 1899 to Dresden, Germany. Never a large community but an old and an influential one, British merchants began to arrive in the first years after its foundation by Peter the Great in 1703. For the next two centuries they were to exercise a remarkable influence on the city’s economic development, drawing in their wake British soldiers, sailors, bankers, engineers, manufacturers, doctors, architects and craftsmen. By the end of the 18th century the city’s first grand embankment along the Neva [illustration ci-dessous] had become ‘English’.

He volunteered in 1940 and became an armoured car Troop Commander in E. and N. Africa. He worked closely on occasions with the 6th Royal Tank Regiment and the Kings Dragoon Guards. Promoted to Captain in Italy. Served with the Royal Natal Carbineers [illustration ci-contre], part of the S. African 7th Armoured Division, as infantry.
He was wounded at Chiusi and was sent home. After the war he became restless and went to S. Rhodesia in 19-50 to try tobacco farming but was not very successful. In 1952 he retumed to mining but in S. Rhodesia. In 1960 he was transferred to an asbestos mine in Swaziland but High School education for his children was to prove a problem so the family returned to Johannesburg in 1963 and Philip to mining from which he retired in 1979.

But he was well treated and was allowed to receive food from his wife. On their escape to England by November 1918 she soon, however, deserted him for an American professor. In the 1920’s and 1930’s he contrived to earn a living as a courier on the continent for Arnold Lunn Ltd the travel agents.

It is believed the clothes were brought to Britain on one of these trips since, when Lucy, her husband and their two children left Russia, in June 1918, they were allowed to take only two cabin trunks between them and £50 each in cash. It is unlikely these clothes were chosen above other family possessions when the family had to flee. Thus they are most likely to have been brought to England some time before 1917.

After school at Highgate and at the School of Mines, Cambourne, co. Cornwall, went out to South Africa in 1893. He held various appointments in the mining industry from 1899 to 1912, at one stage being Cyanide Manager (!) of the Van Ryn Estates.
From 1910 to 1920 he was one of the Consulting Engineers to the Rand Mines Ltd and Central Mining and Investment Corporation ; it may have been then that he bought a salted 
mine ! During the Boer War, 1899-1902, he had served as a Captain in the Railway Pioneer Regiment and in the Rand and Wit Rifles. He retired to take up fruit farming in White River, N.E. Transvaal

Ivor, at the ripe age of 3 1/2 or so at a family gathering at Himki near Moscow in 1905, corrected his cousin Ralph’s Russian accentuation of “the tlains tlavel down the tlack by No, No, the twains twavel down the twack.” It is apt, therefore, that he should have become a civil engineer. He subsequently settled in N. Rhodesia (Zambia).

Trained as an engineer but changed to ballet dancing. For a while in the 1960’s with the Bristol Ballet Company. Choreographer manager of the Malan Ballet Company in Cape Town :
« Born in a mining town in Zambia with no access to culture of any sort, followed by a restrictive six years at a church school in Johannesburg, I finally escaped to the University of Cape Town to spend six hedonistic years to scrape together an Architectural degree.
At the same time I caught the theatre bug and got side tracked into UCT Ballet School. Sailed steerage to England to continue my dancing career and lived a hand to mouth existence with various ballet companies. After ten years I became principal dancer with the Scottish Ballet ; in the meantime earning extra money designing ballets and drawing cartoons for Dante & Dancers and some off beat choreography.
After a couple of years of achieving a smidgen of fame as a dancer and designer – “Second best ballet designer in Britain – The Times” (who was first was the question), my career was cut short by an injury and I returned to Cape Town in the 70’s.
I began designing ballet for CAPAB, which went on to include Opera, and on becoming Head of Design, was given a studio and staff, and a wide variety of productions. I finally found time to design in South Africa and Britain, then the USA and the East (Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore) and New Zealand. This lasted until the end of 2009, with an interruption of the cultural boycott of South Africa in the 80’s.
« Pas de Cinq » – Design : Stephen de Villiers and Peter Cazalet – September 1973
By this time, I had accumulated many drawings. My fascination with the design process was always with the different approach needed and excitement engendered during the creative period. I immersed myself in each new challenge, if necessary changing style and technique in a chameleon-like way. The final result on stage gave greater or lesser pleasure if everything in the long process worked out well. I have now settled into a quiet retirement in Sedgefield with the time to relish the delights offered locally. »

Elevé au Collège Impérial, médaille d’Or, secrétaire de l’ambassade de Russie à Téhéran, il est surtout connu pour ses livres sur ses voyages en Perse où il crut avoir retrouvé la route qu’avait utilisée Alexandre le Grand dans l’Antiquité.
« Travels in Luristan and Arabistan » :
An important account on Persia with detailed descriptions of the antiquities, archaeological sites and the ancient history of the country. De Bode travelled from Tehran to Isfahan, Persepolis, Shiraz, Kazeroun, Shushtar, Susa, Khorramabad and back to Tehran. « Luristan » (modern « Loristan »), or the land of the Luri people, is a western province of Persia and the main city is Khorramabad. « Arabistan » (modern « Khuzestan ») is located in the Eastern Persia and the main city is Ahwaz.
Revue des Deux Mondes (1847) à propos de « Travels in Luristan and Arabistan » :
« Le voyageur dont nous allons suivre les traces, il est bon de le remarquer avant tout, appartient à la diplomatie russe. Son père, né d’une mère anglaise, était Français par sa famille paternelle, originaire d’Alsace : les hasards de l’émigration le conduisirent en Russie, où il leva un régiment de cavalerie à ses frais, et lorsqu’en 1812 les Français parurent devant Moscou, il mérita par ses services militaires la faveur de l’empereur Alexandre. C’est au fils aîné de l’aventureux officier que nous devons le Voyage dans le Louristan et l’Arabistan. La vie agitée de son père s’acheva en Angleterre, et M. de Bode, élevé successivement aux universités de Londres et de Saint-Pétersbourg, fut de bonne heure reçu dans les meilleures sociétés des deux capitales. Il se trouva bientôt en contact habituel, par la spécialité de ses études, avec les savans les plus distingués de l’Angleterre et de la Russie. Les services de son père le recommandaient à la bienveillance de l’empereur Nicolas. Aussi ne tarda-t-il pas à entrer dans la diplomatie russe. Cette double éducation des affaires et de la science était une excellente préparation aux recherches qui devaient amener plus tard M. de Bode dans la Perse 
occidentale. Par la position du voyageur, on doit comprendre maintenant le caractère particulier de ses travaux ; on ne s’étonnera pas si M. de Bode s’offre à nous tour à tour comme un archéologue passionné et comme un observateur pénétrant des moeurs actuelles de la Perse.
En 1836, nommé secrétaire de la légation russe à Téhéran, M. de Bode débuta dans l’exercice de sa mission en assistant à la cérémonie funèbre célébrée pour la translation des restes de M. de Griboedoff et des membres de son ambassade, massacrés dans cette même ville sept ans auparavant, en 1829.
On sait que M. de Griboedoff [illustration ci-dessus], sa suite et ses domestiques périrent dans une émeute populaire, victimes du fanatisme musulman, pour avoir voulu faire respecter le droit d’asile et l’inviolabilité du pavillon en faveur de quelques augets moscovites réfugiés à l’hôtel du consulat. Le tableau de cette cérémonie précède le récit du voyage entrepris par M. de Bode quatre années plus tard.
Le 23 décembre 1840, M. de Bode partait de Téhéran pour Ispahan et Schiraz. La première singularité qu’offre un voyage en Perse, c’est la manière même de voyager. Un Européen qui veut parcourir ce pays n’a pas le choix des modes de transport ; il faut qu’il voyage en cavalier, monté soit sur ses propres chevaux, ce qui est fort long, soit sur ceux de la poste, ce qui est extrêmement fatigant. Comme dans tous les états de l’Asie, vous ne trouvez sur la route, même dans les grandes villes, ni un hôtel garni, ni une auberge, ni même un cabaret.
L’ouvrage de M. de Bode mérite, une place distinguée parmi les travaux importans dont l’Asie a été le sujet depuis un demi-siècle. Aujourd’hui plus que jamais, de pareilles recherches ont droit à la reconnaissance du public savant. L’attention de l’Europe se tourne et se concentre de plus en plus vers ces contrées, qui ouvrent un si vaste champ à la curiosité des explorateurs. Jamais de plus nombreux pionniers n’ont parcouru l’Asie dans tous les sens.
M. de Bode retrouve l’antique Suze et reconnaît, de Babylone à Persépolis, les traces d’Alexandre. En présence de tant d’efforts patiens et d’heureuses découvertes, on aime à répéter ces paroles du savant Heeren, qui les expliquent et qui formulent une conviction devenue aujourd’hui commune : « Plus nous remontons dans l’histoire, plus nous comparons les traditions des peuples sur leur origine et leurs premières destinées, plus aussi nous nous voyons ramenés constamment à l’Asie, et plus il devient vraisemblable que ce fut là le berceau du genre humain, comme ce fut aussi, il faut l’avouer, le berceau de toutes les sciences et la patrie de toutes les religions, qui, en se propageant, se sont élevées jusqu’au rang de religions dominantes. Aucune partie de l’ancien monde n’est donc plus digne que l’Asie d’attirer l’attention de l’antiquaire et du philosophe, qui ne se bornent pas seulement à l’étude de quelques peuples isolés, mais qui veulent arriver à des conclusions générales sur l’histoire universelle de l’humanité. »

He founded a faculty of vegetable physiology and a laboratory at the Petrovskoye Academy. Timiryazev was first educated by private teachers at home. In 1861 he entered the Saint Petersburg University and graduated with honors from the faculty of physics and mathematics in 1866. Two years later he published his first article, on a device for studying breakdown of carbon dioxide, and was sent abroad, where he studied under Wilhelm Hofmeister, Robert Bunsen, Gustav Kirchhoff, Marcellin Berthelot, Hermann von Helmholtz, Jean-Baptiste Boussingault and Claude Bernard.
Upon returning to Russia in 1871 he defended a PhD on spectral analysis of chlorophyll and was appointed as professor of Petrov’s Academy of Agriculture, until its closure in 1892. Since 1877 he also lectured at the Moscow State University. His research work was devoted to photosynthesis-related phenomena.
