Annotation: The article examines the documents of personal pension affairs in accordance with which, personal pension provision was provided, established for services to the Soviet Republic by the great Russian playwright Alexander Ostrovsky, for his sister Mariya Nikolayevna and the widow of the eldest son Anna Nikolayevna. On the basis of archival documents of Alexander Ostrovsky’s pension affairs, the authors revealed the circumstances of the life of his relatives in the 1920s: the plight and cramped living conditions of both women; we identified the circle of people living with them: the adopted daughter of Mariya N. Ostrovskaya and two children of Anna N. Ostrovskaya. The documents of the personal file made it possible to clarify the date of death of Mariya N. Ostrovskaya. But during the work, a number of issues arose that require further consideration: it is unclear from the materials of the pension case, for which children the personal pension was assigned to the widow of the playwright’s eldest son, Anna Nikolayevna. The reason for the suspension of pension payments by Anna N. Ostrovskaya herself remains unclear. The article also highlighted the role of the leadership of the People’s Commissariat of Education of the RSFSR as an advocate for the playwright’s sister and daughter-in-law before the pension authorities.
Keywords: Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky, Mariya Nikolayevna Ostrovskaya, Anna Nikolayevna Ostrovskaya, personal pension provision of republican importance, services to state, petition, pension amount.
