Biography
From a noble family of Kharkov Governorate, she lived in Germany for a long time.
Around 1903, she married A.N. Bork , after which she took the name Shabelskaya-Bork.
Certain literary fame acquired at the age of 30 years, but her name was widely recognized after the publication of the novel «Satanisty XX veka» («Satanists of the 20th Century») (1913, reprinted 1934, 2000, 2004, 2011)[1][2].
In 1902, Shabelskaya was accused by her former lover of the Minister of Finance V.I. Kovalevsky of forgery of bills in his name (totaling 120 thousand rubles)[3][4]. The falsity of bills was confirmed by calligraphic examination in 1903. However, Shabelskaya insisted on transferring the case from a commercial court to a criminal one. The defense of Shabelskaya was led by the attorney Sergey Margolin[5]. On November 23, 1905, E. A. Shabelskaya was declared acquitted in court[6][7]. The civil lawsuit filed in the amount of 120,000 rubles by Privy Councilor Kovalevsky was left without consideration. Subsequently, Shabelskaya released the novel «Vekselya anterprinyorshi» («Promissory notes of an entrepreneur»), based on the materials of this case[8][9].
After the revolution of 1905, she became an ideological monarchist, supported the mass monarchist (“Black-Hundred”) movement, worked for about seven years in the «Russkoe znamya», the newspaper of the Main Council of the Union of the Russian People (URP), working closely with A. N. Dubrovin.
In 1913 — at the end of the year she left the newspaper due to a personal conflict with E. A. Poluboyarinova.
E. A. Shabelskaya died on August 15, 1917, at 10 a.m. in the Sust-Zareche estate of the Novgorod Governorate, after a long illness. Around April 1922, A.V. Amfiteatrov wrote memoirs about her, more like an obituary.
Officer Pyotr Nikolayevich Shabelsky-Bork, who took the pseudonym in honor of E. A. Shabelskaya-Bork (real name Popov, pseudonym is Srariy Kiribey), participated in the assassination attempt on Pavel Milyukov in March 1922 , as a result of which V. D. Nabokov died , father of the famous writer Vladimir Nabokov[10]. Popov claimed to be the godson of E. A. Shabelskaya-Bork, although he actually only met her in 1916[11].
