In 2006 – 2008 in the collection of the State Museum of A. S. Pushkin did family portraits of Yankovich-Blagovo. For many years they were kept in the house of Belief konstantinovny Zhuravleva, prapravnuchka the famous memoirist Elizabeth Jankovoy (1768 – 1861). Stories E. P. Yankovoi in memory which stored the history of five generations of the family Jankovich – Blagovo, recorded her grandson, Dmitri Blagovo. For us, these memories, printed under the title "the Stories of grandmother…", are of special value: in them we are talking about Vasilii l'vovich Pushkin, his beautiful wife, Kapitolina Mikhailovna Vysheslavtseva, and the family of Sergey Lvovich Pushkin. Elizabeth recalled and the little Pushkin – the big goof and the savage, the curly – haired boy "with very lively eyes, from which sparks poured down".

Pushkin Olga took dance lessons), and portraits of two boys, brothers Dmitri and Nikolai Jankovich; copy of watercolor, the work of Agrippina Dmitrievna Blagovo, "Living in the Hill estate",owned Janiculum – Blagovo.
The exhibition is presented the portraits of Elizabeth Jankovoy (copy), her father P. M. Rimsky – Korsakov, her husband D. A. Iankova, daughter of Agrippina, and grandson Dmitry, and the portraits of relatives – the brother and sister's husband. Look closely at the faces of these people. They lived in Moscow together endured fell to their share of trials together, mourned and rejoiced. The children were brought up in the faith and mercy, in the consciousness that we must strive to do good. Yanukovych house was always open to relatives and friends, distinguished Moscow hospitality, hospitality, hospitality.
Once P. A. Vyazemsky in his essay, "the Moscow family of the old life" wrote: "If you don't recognize the authority of family and home, not accustomed to respect him, hardly will we be able later to recognize the authority of the public honestly and with love to serve him. Not bad sometimes to compare now with last and see that is man. If that's all good, produced by new generations, they will remain; why not borrow from the past that will not overwhelm, and will not weaken the present, but rather may serve him as a support and healing power?".
