History

The Bakunin family claims descent from Stephen Báthory, the Prince of Transylvania who campaigned against Ivan the Terrible for control over Livonia.[2] According to the family legend, the Bakunin dynasty was founded in 1492 by Zenislav Bakunin, one of the three brothers of the Báthory family who left Hungary to serve under Ivan III of Russia ("the Great").[3] Zenislav was subsequently baptised as Peter Bakunin and granted estates in Ryazan, where his family continued to serve the Russian Empire.[4] But the first documented ancestor of the Bakunins was a 17th-century Moscow clerk Nikifor Evdokimov, who became a noble in 1677, going by the nickname of "Bakunin".[5]
