Eugenia Gertsyk (Template:Lang-ru, 30 September 1878 O.S./12 October 1878 (N. S.)–20 January 1944)

Early life

Eugenia Kazimirovna Gertsyk was born on 12 October 1878 in Alexandrov of the Moscow Governorate in the Russian Empire to Sofia Maximilianovna (née Tidebel) (Template:Lang-ru) and Kasimir Antonovich Lubny-Gertsyk (Template:Lang-ru). Her father was descended of an impoverished Polish-Lithuanian noble family and worked as a engineer for the railroad, heading the construction of the Moscow-Yaroslavl line. Her paternal uncle, Joseph Antonovich Lubny-Gertsyk, built the Baranov Manufacturing plant in the Alexandrovsky District town of Karabanovo. Her paternal aunt, Elena Antonovna Lubny-Gertsyk was married to the painter Lev Lagorio. Her mother, who died when Gertsyk and her sister, Adelaida, were young children was of German and Swiss heritage, though the family was entirely Russified, they were Lutheran. After their mother's death in 1880, Gertsyk's father remarried Eugenia Antonovna Vokach (Template:Lang-ru) and a half-brother Vladimir was born in 1885.

Because of the nature of her father's work, Gertsyk grew up moving often, as her father constructed the rail line. After her birth in Alexandrov, they lived in Moscow then back to Alexandrov, and later Sevastopol and Yuriev-Polsky. All the children received a broad early education from by tutors and governesses, which included the study of five languages encompassing Polish and Italian, among others. They also traveled to Europe to experience diverse cultures during their childhood. Gertsyk went on to further her education studying history and philosophy in the Bestuzhev Courses, from which she graduated with honors.

Career

Around 1906, Gertsyk began her career as a translator, working on translations of writers such as Edward Carpenter, Joris-Karl Huysmans, William James, and Friedrich Nietzsche, among others.
