Varvara remarried a prominent lawyer, N. S. Karinsky (1873–1948), from Moscow, who was residing in Kharkov.[1] With his law practice burgeoning, the Karinsky family of four moved to Moscow in 1916, to a spacious apartment that Varvara had purchased. Karinsky continued to practice criminal and political law and gained fame and prestige throughout the Russian Empire. Varvara, meanwhile, became totally engrossed in the arts and hosted her famous salon every night after the theater or ballet.
