Stroganov family - Stroganov-ke (English spelling) Stroganovy

Japanese: ストロガノフ家 - ストロガノフけ（英語表記）Stroganovy

A wealthy Russian merchant and industrialist family. Originating from farmers on the White Sea coast, the family prospered from the beginning of the 16th century when Anika established a saltworks in Solbychegodsk. In 1558, the family received vast estates on the Kama and Chusovaya rivers from Ivan IV (the Terrible), and subsequently acquired other estates in Siberia. While developing these lands, the family also engaged in a wide range of businesses, including saltworks, ironworks, timber, and fur trade. The family built towns and forts, and advanced into the Urals and Siberia using private armies, overcoming resistance from the indigenous peoples and expanding their territories. A representative example of this was the Siberian campaign of Cossack leader Ermak Timofeevich in 1581. In the war of liberation from the Poles in the early 16th century, the family provided huge financial support to the liberation armies of DM Pozharsky and Minin-Suhoruk, contributing to the accession of Mikhail Romanov to the throne. The family continued to provide financial support to the financially struggling Romanov tsars, and Peter the Great bestowed upon them the titles of barons and Paul I the counts. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, the family produced many politicians and high-ranking officials. They are also known for their encouragement of painting (icons), architecture, and literature.

ロシアの富裕な商人，産業家の家系。白海沿岸の農家から発し，16世紀初めアニカがソリビチェゴツクで製塩業を営んで以来栄えた。 1558年イワン4世 (雷帝)からカマ，チュソバヤ両河畔に広大な所領を得たのをはじめ，その後もしばしばシベリア地方にかけて所領を獲得，それらの土地を開発するかたわら，製塩業，製鉄，木材，毛皮売買など広範な事業を営んだ。一家は町や砦を建設し，私兵を用いてウラル，シベリア地方に進出し，先住民の抵抗を排して領地を拡大した。その代表的なものが 81年のコサック首領エルマク・チモフェービッチのシベリア遠征である。 16世紀初頭のポーランド人からの解放戦争では，D.M.ポジャルスキーとミーニン＝スホルークの解放軍に莫大な資金援助を提供し，ミハイル・ロマノフの即位に貢献した。その後も財政難に苦しむロマノフ朝諸帝にたびたび援助を与え，そのためピョートル1世 (大帝) は一家の者を男爵に，パーベル1世は伯爵に叙した。 18～19世紀を通じて多くの政治家，高官を生んだ。絵画 (イコン) ，建築，文学を奨励したことでも名高い。
