If we follow the letter of the law literally, then after the publication of the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR of November 24, 1917 "On the abolition of estates and civil ranks" in Soviet Russia there were no more nobles. All citizens of the USSR became equal to each other. Nevertheless, given that nobility is transmitted by blood, noble people in essence remained so. It should be noted that many members of the government were hereditary nobles, including two leaders of the USSR: V.I. Lenin and G.M. Malenkov. According to the 1897 census, there were 125,640,021 nobles in the Russian Empire. After the revolution, the number of people of the former upper class remaining in the country was estimated at about 600,000 people.
The most interesting thing is that the most bc data india figures of Soviet culture from the first days of the USSR were precisely the nobility. One of the most striking examples is the biography of the Mikhalkov family.
The famous writer and poet Sergei Vladimirovich Mikhalkov achieved the highest professional recognition by becoming the author of the verses for two anthems of the Soviet Union, and then of modern Russia. Oddly enough, his noble origins did not hinder him at all, although he wrote the first anthem of the USSR during the reign of I.V. Stalin.
The genealogical tree of the Mikhalkovs was compiled in the 19th century in Rybinsk. According to the historical document, the head of the Mikhalkov family was Mark Demidov, who moved from Lithuania to Rus' to the Tver Principality during the reign of Prince Ivan of Tver in the mid-15th century. Soon, for his military merits, he was granted nobility. Subsequently, for centuries, the Mikhalkov family faithfully served Russian rulers.
