[q]

. An address is indicated: Garnizonnaya Street. Is it in Lithuania or in Russia (Moscow?)?

[/q]

I don't know. Since he worked in Kovno then, it should be Kaunass.
I've googled, there was a noble family named Dobrovolsky in Kovno governorate.
I've not found a street with this name, yet there was a Roman-Catholic church built between 1891-95.
This one. It was also called "Kaunass garrison cathidral""
So maybe the street was near it.

There's no such a street in Moscow.

[q]

From 1900 to around 1905 he was in Kiev, Ukraine as a professor. He achieved personal nobility too.

[/q]

No, he wasn't a professor! He was a high school teacher.
There were three types of high schools in Russia: real schools (realnye uchilischa; for ordinary people, focused on technical studies), gymnasiums (originally for nobility, focused on the classics, humanities), and cadet corps (military schools).
Professors taught at universities.

He received the rank of nadvorny sovetnik (court councillor), a 7th class, and then kollezhsky sovetnik (collegiate councillor), a 6th class of the table of ranks. These were considered quite high in the bureaucratic hyararchy. Yet, of course, below the top governmental officials niche.
The top governmental ranks started with the class 4 of the table of ranks, which is the actual state councillor (deystvitelny statsky sovetnik). These were the ministerial ranks.
Since 1845 the ranks he received gave the right for personall nobility, yet there's no evidence so far, that he actually received the certain patent for it.
as for all these patents, it must be in RGIA, the funds of the Senate's Heraldry (Ãåðîëüäèÿ Ïðàâèòåëüñòâóþùåãî Ñåíàòà), because it was them who granted patents on titles and ranks.

As fo yet. the title of a personal nobleman was to pass to his wife, but not to his children. They had the right for the hereditary honored citizenship (potomstveniy pochetny grazhdanin).
By 1890s these titles no longer had significant value, were more of honorifics.
However, they were still much preferred when it came to state service.

[/q]

Kaunas seems to me to be the most logical place given the period

[q]

No, he wasn't a professor! He was a high school teacher....

[/q]

Okay I understand better. I hadn't paid attention to this nuance

[q]

Since 1874 the military service in Russia was across all social estates and compulsory. But, the starting age was 21.

[/q]

I see. Difficult to determine if they met in Moscow or Mogilev/Chaussy. Finally in all cases they became friends

[q]

There's no such a name in Russian as ''Nedzia''. Must be Nadezhda. However, there could also be a shortened family nickname for her.

[/q]

That's what I thought. Nedzia/Naja is probably the shortcut and Nadezhda. However nothing on Yandex regarding Nadezhda kossova or Sinyavskaya. I will try to see on other sites

[q]

Is there an equivalent of "Ïðàïîðùèê" in English? I'm having a little trouble understanding what a military rank is. I have the impression that it is between the non-commissioned officer and the adjutant?

[/q]

Adjutant is a kind of assistant to an officer.
Praporschik as a rank was introduced to Russia during tsar Alexey Romanov, in the 1630s as part of the so-called ''new order regiments''.
It was the rank of ensign (flag) bearers in a regiment. It stems from the word "'prapor''.
Peter I, his son, introduced it as the first junior officer rank (ober-ofitserskiy chin) and brought hereditary nobility until 1845. It was the entry level class, the 14th.
Below there were the so-called ''under-officers'', i.e. non-commisioned officers, that are above privates but below actual officers.
Together with the privates (ryadoviye) ''under-offivers'' (unter oficery) shaped up the group called ''nizhniye chiny'' (low ranks).
Above the junior officers there were ''staff officers'' (stabs-ofitsery), from the 8th to the 6th classes, the top was colonel.
Then there came generals.

They say that the praporschik of the Russian Empire was equvalent to modern Russian second lieutenant (mladshiy leytenant).
The rank today is a kind of senior private, who is just below sergeants and helps them and junior officers manage the privates.

In my humble opinion (which is not professional at all) the contemporary praporschik is somewhere close to the 18th-century Russian corporal (kapral). Then came sergeants. But in the early 19th century they replaced these two by ''junior'' and 'senior'' under-officers.

[q]

And equivalent of "ãîðöåâú" ?
Grigory was promoted to "Ïðàïîðùèê" on January 6, 1861. I believe this followed the war against the Cossacks here named "ãîðöåâú". But maybe I'm wrong

[/q]

Yes, you are. Well, Russian goverment did have to fight Cossacks at some points in history. For example, during the Uprising of Stepan Razin or Emelyan Pugachev. But, here ''gortsy'' refers to the peoples of the Caucasus region that the Russian Empire was trying to conquer, not Cossacks who served in the imperial army.

I am searching in Yandex for a confessional list between 1881 and 1885 Lefortovo district containing Grigory Nechaev living in Mikhail Morozov's house. It must exist, right?

[/q]

Churches in Moscow were organized according to the so-called ''soroks'' (it was mentioned before). There's no Lefortovo sorok.
Here's the Russian Wiki page on soroks. The list of them is in the table on the right.

Here's the Wiki page on Lefortovo. It mentions the churches there with their names and the map of Moscow with Lefortovo marked red.

As for the Morozov house, it's not possible to say where it was located in Lefortovo. You can search in yandex by this name 'äîì Ìîðîçîâà â äîìå Ìîðîçîâà. I don't remember if the docs mention if that Morozov was a peasant or a meschanin? So, you can try his name. And filter the search by the archives (ÖÃÀ Ìîñêâû).
