It has come to the attention of the polite society that Miss Miroslava Karpovich, a lady widely celebrated for her theatrical exploits as the eldest Vasnetsova daughter, has seen fit to unveil the countenance of her chosen companion, one Mr. Evgeny Ragulin. This revelation was delivered via those modern electronic salons where ladies today prefer to share their private affairs with the entire world rather than a few trusted confidantes over tea.

In a curated collection of portraits, the lady presents her spouse, a gentleman of some eleven years her junior. Mr. Ragulin possesses a most distinctive appearance: a bold beard, a stately moustache, and a crown entirely devoid of hair—a look that suggests a certain gravity, perhaps intended to compensate for his tender age.

As for the gentleman’s pedigree, it is whispered that he hails from the distant lands of Moldova, having later established his residence in the frosty reaches of Tyumen. He occupies himself with the trade of paints and lacquers—a profession that, one suspects, provides him with the means to color his life, though not always in the most profitable hues. Indeed, the ledger books of his enterprise, "Agglomerate-Tyumen," suggest a most distressing deficit of some seventy-four million roubles. One cannot help but marvel at the courage of a man who manages to lose a fortune with such breathtaking efficiency.

This union, announced with great flourish in June, has been further blessed by the tidings that the lady is now expecting a child. One can only imagine the discussions in the drawing-rooms: the juxtaposition of a seasoned actress and a youthful paint-merchant, navigating the treacherous waters of matrimony while their coffers leak like an old umbrella in a London fog.
