At the age of 19 she married then Captain (and future Admiral) Sergey Nikolayevich Timiryov with whom she soon had a son, but whom she divorced in 1918 to join Alexander Kolchak. After Kolchak's execution in 1920, she was arrested several times and served several prison and labour camp sentences. In 1923, she married Vsevolod Kniper, a railroad engineer. She was the mother of painter Vladimir Sergeyevich Timiryov.
