Dolgoruky (1724–1803), Russian ambassador in Prussia, and married in 1746 to prince Alexei Golitsyn (1713–1765). She had been a courtier prior to marriage. Described as well educated, intelligent and witty, she was appointed to the post of the newly founded Smolny Institute by Empress Catherine the Great. However, she proved to be to dominant and superstitious to be suitable for the position, so the monarch paid her to resign. In 1766, she retired to Moscow.

My Gentleman Friend is an album by vocalist Etta Jones and pianist Benny Green which was recorded in 1994 and released on the Muse label in 1996.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "For this slightly unusual set, veteran singer Etta Jones performs a set of duets with the very supportive yet consistently swinging pianist Benny Green. The tempoes vary a bit while Jones generally sticks to the lyrics, adding a soulful touch to each of the standards. The singer displays both maturity and restraint on the somewhat predictable but enjoyable outing which has a late-night feel".

The historical Armenian Evangelical Church (, ) is an Armenian Evangelical church located in the centre of the Turkish town of Elazığ (Mamuretül-Aziz), next to Kharpert. After being abandoned due to the Armenian genocide, it has been used as a public toilet.

It was built in the 19th century and constituted the headquarters of this church for Elazığ. After the Armenian genocide, the church was used as the Arpaci Powder Industry Fabrique, then as a playground for children, and marketplace and shelter for animals. Despite its Armenian identity it was described as an "historical Assyrian church" by the Turkish authorities in 1973. In 2007, the Turkish state announced it will turn the church into a hospital, but as of 2014 no change has been made. Because of its location in the centre of Elazığ, it is used as parking lot for cars and as a public toilet.

Interior frescoes of Jesus and Mary are heavily damaged but can still be seen. The entrance is damaged and there is no roof left.
