Have you ever heard about Tatyana's Day in Eastern Europe which is celebrated January 25? This is the date of the Student's Day in Eastern Europe and St. Tatyana is a patroness of students.
Tatyana (Tatiana) or Tanya is a very popular name for Russian women and of course, there is a great number of famous Slavic girls with this name.
Tanya #1 is Tanechka from the poem by Agniya Barto. This Tatiana has been known to all Ukrainian girls since childhood. The difficult fate of one of the most famous literary heroines is described by Barto. The girl threw her ball into the river and cried till the end of the poem.
Tatyana Larina is another star of Slavic literature. All the girls and women know by heart her letter to Onegin. Perhaps, she can be called the most popular Tatiana. This heroine lives almost 183 years and her glory does not fade. Pushkin's Tatiana is the most important Russian Tatiana. She is the most recognizable and most important image of a melancholic Russian girl. We all remember that Tatiana is a Slavic soul. Until now, she is the standard of purity and charm, the most romantic heroine in Russian culture.
Tatyana Kuzminskaya
This woman became the prototype of one of the most famous and recognizable heroines of Slavic literature. Tatyana Kuzminskaya was the prototype of Natasha Rostova in the novel "War and Peace".
Tatiana Romanova
The Grand Duchess, who was subjected to a martyr's death and consecrated the saints with the family, had an amazing beauty. She was somewhat similar to Tatiana Larina and was named in her honour. Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich explained this choice in his diary: "I heard from the Tsar that his daughters were called Olga and Tatiana so that it would be like in Pushkin's Onegin."
