The Captain's Daughter
Praskovia's story became a popular plot for creativity after it had been described in several Russian magazines. It was reflected in a sequence of works by Russian literatures. In particular, Praskovia is a live prototype for Maria Mironova, the protagonist in Alexander Pushkin’s novel "Kapitanskaya Dochka" (in the English variant - "The Captain's Daughter", 1837). Nikolai Polevoy distorts Praskovia’s name to make it more demotic and emphasize her poorness, and creates his play "Parasha Louppolova" (1840) to be acted in Alexandrinsky theatre.
