Apraxin, a name that echoes through history with tales of bravery and triumph. From the black and white photograph captured by Ermack in 1899 to the medal commemorating the capture of Vyborg in 1710 during the Great Northern War, Apraxin's legacy is etched into time. Count Vladimir Stepanovich Apraksin, portrayed in a captivating portrait by Svintsov around 1812, stands as a symbol of nobility and honor. His presence evokes an era filled with grandeur and elegance. The sieges of Parnu and Viborg come alive through the artistic depictions of Pickaert and Rostovtsev respectively. These scenes transport us back to August 1710 when these cities witnessed fierce battles for dominance. Another portrait emerges from the mid-19th century, revealing Count Stepan Fedorovich Apraksin's dignified visage. An anonymous artist captures his essence, preserving his memory for generations to come. Princess Maria Alexandrovna Dolgorukaya, nee Apraxina's portrait adds another layer to this rich tapestry of history.

A view unfolds before our eyes—a watermill nestled within Olgovo Estate near Moscow—captured by an anonymous artist from that same era. The scene exudes tranquility amidst bustling times. The naval Battle of Gangut on July 27, 1714—the clash immortalized by Larmessin—reveals Apraxin's strategic brilliance on turbulent waters.
