Clare Consuelo Sheridan (née Frewen), (9 September 1885 – 31 May 1970), was an English sculptor, journalist and writer known primarily for creating busts for famous sitters, and writing diaries recounting her worldly travels. She was a cousin of Sir Winston Churchill, with whom she had enjoyed an amicable relationship, though her support for the October Revolution caused them to break ranks politically in 1917.[2] She enjoyed travelling around the world, and among her circle of friends were Princess Margaret of Sweden, Lord and Lady Mountbatten, Lady Diana Cooper, Vita Sackville-West and Vivien Leigh.
Clare Consuelo Frewen was born in London, the daughter of Moreton Frewen, the Irish owner of Brede Place in East Sussex, and his American wife, the former Clarita "Clara" Jerome. Jerome's mother was the elder sister of Lady Randolph Churchill which made Clare Sheridan a cousin to Winston Churchill. Her godmother and namesake was Consuelo Vanderbilt, Duchess of Marlborough. Sheridan was educated by governesses at home in Sussex and at a family property in Inishannon, County Cork, before briefly attending a Paris convent school and a German finishing school. She was a debutante at the age of seventeen but turned away from that social scene to attempt to write novels. She was encouraged in this by family friends who included both Henry James and Rudyard Kipling.[3]
She married Wilfred, known as William, Frederick Sheridan in 1910 at St. Margaret's, Westminster. They had two daughters and when one of them, Elizabeth, died in February 1914, Clare Sheridan made a sculpture of a small weeping angel for the child's grave. It was from this piece of art that she discovered an ability for sculpting. Wilfred Sheridan was a Lieutenant in the Rifle Brigade and he was killed while leading his men at the Battle of Loos in 1915, a few days after the birth of the couple's third child, their son Richard. Sheridan moved from France to London to study under John Tweed and Professor Édouard Lantéri. An exhibition of her work was a success and led to a number of commissions including a bust portrait of H. H. Asquith for the Oxford Union.[4]
Soviet Russia
Bust of Lev Kamenev by Sheridan
While in Russia, Sheridan is reputed to have had affairs with more than one of her sitters. Her reputed relationship with Kamenev is thought to have started the problems in his marriage to his first wife, Olga Kameneva.[5] The author Robert Service claimed, in 2009, that there was an affair between Sheridan and Trotsky.[6] Trotsky signed and dedicated a painting of himself to Sheridan and invited her to stay in Russia and set up a studio. During her stay, the Russian Civil War was being fought. Winston Churchill, as Secretary of State for War, was pressing for British and allied intervention and was furious to learn of Sheridan's activities. When she returned to London, Churchill refused to see her, and after finding herself widely shunned in polite society due to her support of Bolshevism, she moved to America.
While visiting America, Sheridan had a love affair with Charlie Chaplin. She was also introduced to Herbert Swope, the editor of the New York World who, impressed by her account of her time in Russia which had been published as Russian Portraits, offered her a job as the papers' roving European correspondent. In this role she obtained a number of notable scoops for the paper. During the Irish Civil War she managed to interview both Michael Collins and Rory O'Connor. She filed vivid accounts from the occupied city of Smyrna during the Greco-Turkish War.[4] Sheridan interviewed Aleksandar Stamboliyski in Bulgaria, Benito Mussolini in Rome and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.[7]
A second trip to Russia in 1923 ended in her becoming disillusioned with the course of the Revolution and she was declared 'persona non grata' in the country. Despite this, Sheridan persuaded the Soviet representative to London to issue an entry visa for her and her brother to tour the south of the country.[4] In 1924, Sheridan and her brother, Royal Navy officer Oswald Frewen, made a then-daring long-distance motorcycle riding journey from Sussex through Europe to the USSR, ending in Odessa. The 4,226-mile (6,801 km) ride[8] occurred between July and September 1924 with Frewen at the controls of a 799 cc, 7 hp AJS motorcycle and Sheridan in the sidecar.[4][9] The AJS, nicknamed Satanella, is said to have been the first British motorcycle in the Soviet Union.[10] Sheridan published a memoir of the journey, Across Europe with Satanella in 1925. She moved to Constantinople with her two children and gave up journalism to focus on sculpture.
Sheridan's dalliance with known Soviet agents earned her the suspicions of the Security Service. She earned an MI5 file that noted: "She has conducted herself in a disloyal manner in various foreign countries, adopting a consistently anti-British attitude."[11] Later in 1925 Sheridan moved to Algeria, where it was noted by MI5 that "she appeared to be comfortably off and debt-free for the first time in 10 years".[11] She built a house on the edge of the Sahara at Biskra.
Later life
In 1937 Sheridan's son, Richard died of appendicitis at Constantine in Algeria. Sheridan took a large oak tree from the family home, Brede Place, in Sussex and carved it into his memorial. Carving in wood seems to have given her a fresh artistic direction. After spending a summer in an art colony on a Native American reservation in the Rocky Mountains, Sheridan had a well-received exhibition in London of the carvings she made there from tree trunks. During World War Two she and Winston Churchill put aside their political differences and she made a bust portrait of him whilst he painted her portrait. After the war she converted to Roman Catholicism, travelling to Assisi for that purpose before moving to live in a guest house run by the Franciscan convent at Hope Castle at Castleblayney in Ireland.[12] From there she continued to sculpt, albeit subjects and icons of religious importance before returning to live in Belmont House in Hastings, Sussex in 1956. She died in 1970 at the age of 84, having outlived two of her three children. She is buried in the churchyard of St George's, Brede, Sussex beside her nephew Roger Frewen [d 1972] and her great-niece Selina Frewen [d 1972] and near the memorial she had carved to her son.When she died in 1970 her only daughter inherited her copyrights. When Sheridan died in 1976 it is believed that her mothers and her own copyrights had no heir.[13]
Sheridan's famous busts of her first cousin Churchill can be found at Blenheim Palace, Chartwell, Harrow School and Hastings Town Hall; the original plaster is in the possession of her great-nephew Jonathan Frewen. Some items from her large collection of Native American artifacts are on display at Hastings Museum and in the Frewen family's ancestral village of Brede in Sussex. Sheridan's sculptures are often shown at Rye Art Gallery. Several of her later works can be found in churches or churchyards, for example at Peper Harrow near Guildford, at St. Catherine's in Hoogstraeten in Belgium, at the Church of Christ the King Salthill in Galway, Ireland and at Allington Castle in Maidstone.[

オリガ・ダヴィドヴナ・カーメネワ（ロシア語: Ольга Давыдовна Каменева、1883年 - 1941年9月11日）は、ロシア帝国の革命家、ソビエト連邦の政治家である。共産党政治局員レフ・カーメネフの最初の妻であり、同じく政治局員レフ・トロツキーを兄に持つ。旧姓ブロンシテイン (Бронштейн)。
1883年、ロシア帝国ヘルソン県ヤノフカ（現在のウクライナ、キロヴォフラード州ボブルィネツィ地区に位置する）の、最寄りの郵便局さえ15マイル離れた小村で、豊かではあるが文盲のユダヤ人農家、ブロンシテイン家の娘として生まれる。ブロンシテイン家はユダヤ人ではあったがユダヤ教の信仰はなく、家庭で話されるのもイディッシュ語ではなくロシア語とウクライナ語だった[1]。
オリガ・ブロンシテインは1902年にロシア社会民主労働党に入党し[1]、直後に革命家のレフ・カーメネフと結婚した。1908年にレフが釈放されると、夫妻はロシアを離れジェノヴァ、次いでパリへ移り、ここでレフはウラジーミル・レーニンの旧知となった。夫妻はレーニンの下で雑誌編集を手伝い、夫妻が1914年1月にサンクトペテルブルクへ帰還すると、レフはボリシェヴィキの合法部門機関紙「プラウダ」と、ドゥーマにおけるボリシェヴィキの派閥を当面の間指導した。
十月革命後の1918年初頭、カーメネワはロシア・ソビエト共和国教育人民委員部劇場部門の責任者となった。そして、劇場演出家のフセヴォロド・メイエルホリドとともに、カーメネワはロシア演劇の急進的な改革を志向するようになった。だが、メイエルホリドが翌年5月に結核によって南方へ離れると、レーニンが劇場芸術に保守的であったため、人民委員部委員長アナトリー・ルナチャルスキーによってカーメネワは6月に職を解かれた[2]。
1919年10月にロシア共産党婦人局が設置されると、カーメネワは局監督部門のメンバーとなった[3]。翌年には、保健人民委員のニコライ・セマシコが唱えた、避妊は「疑う余地なく有害」であり決して支持されるべきではない、との論を支持している[4]。1921年から1923年まで、対飢饉後遺症闘争中央委員会の指導者を務め[5]、ハーバート・フーヴァー政権下でソビエト連邦に対する援助を行っていたアメリカ救済管理に反対するプロパガンダを監督した。1923年から1925年にかけて、西欧に限定的な援助を短期間行った対外救済委員会の委員長を務め[6]、1926年から1928年までは対外文化交流協会会長を務めた[7]。この時にカーメネワはソ連を訪れたル・コルビュジェ[8]やセオドア・ドライサー[9]など多くの西欧の文化人と会見し、1927年3月から4月には、ソ連代表としてウィーンでベートーヴェン死去百周年記念祭に出席した[10][11]。同時に、1920年代を通してカーメネワはモスクワで開かれていた文芸サロンの代表でもあった[12]。
しかし、レフとの家庭生活は、レフが1920年にイギリスの彫刻家クレア・フレウェン・シェリダンと浮名を流したことにより、早くから崩壊し始めていた[13]。1928年にレフはオリガの元から去り、タチヤナ・グレボワ (Татьяна Глебова) と再婚した[14]。
1927年に、ともに共産党政治局員であったレフと兄のトロツキーが相次いで失脚すると、カーメネワも瞬く間にその影響力を失った。1935年7月27日、NKVDはカーメネワを、政治事件への関与を理由にモスクワからレニングラードへ5年間追放した[15]。モスクワ16人裁判の結果、1936年8月25日にレフが処刑されると、カーメネワも逮捕、投獄を受けた。上の息子である空軍将校のアレクサンドルは1937年7月15日に33歳で処刑され、下の息子ユーリーも1938年1月30日に17歳で処刑された。
1941年9月11日、オリョール監獄に収監されていたカーメネワは、フリスチアン・ラコフスキーやマリア・スピリドーノワを始めとした160名の囚人とともに、メドヴェージェフの森の虐殺でNKVDにより殺害された。
日本の上層部はロシア革命の実行犯でアメリカ革命未遂については特定ユダヤの共犯・準主犯ですかねえ・・・（爆ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ
