During the trip, Lister met and made friends with many famous Russian aristocrats - Golitsyn, Pannin, Tolstoy, Pushchin, Trubetskiy ... A passionate but Platonic novel connected her with Venus, the famous beauty Sofia Radziwill, which Pushkin was in love with Pushkin in love with . The reverent encrypted pages of the Lister’s diary, as well as letters, are devoted to her.
