Elizabeth Divov (also Elizaveta Petrovna Divova) (Russian: Елизавета Петровна Дивова; 1762-1813),[1] née Boutourlina (also Buturlina) was a Russian Empire courtier.[2][3][4] Her father was Count Pyotr Alexandrovich Boutourlin, and her mother was Maria Romanovna Vorontsova.[5][6] Princess Dashkova was Elizaveta's maternal aunt.[7]
She served as lady-in-waiting to empress Catherine the Great, and was married in 1784 to Adrian Divov.[2][5] In 1784 she was suspected to be behind a controversial political satire.[7]
In 1792, Divov visited Sweden with her husband, and became known for her involvement in political plots during her stay.[8] Her house in St. Petersburg, called Little Koblenz, was known as a haven for French émigrés.[9]
