The '''House of Repnin''' ({{langx|ru|Репнин}}), the name of an old [[Russia]]n [[prince]]ly family of [[Rurik dynasty|Rurikid]] stock. The family traces its name to Prince Ivan Mikhailovich [[Obolensky]] (+1523), nicknamed ''Repnya'', i.e., "bad porridge". Like other Princes Obolensky, he descended from [[Mikhail of Chernigov|Mikhail Vsevolodovich]], prince of [[Chernigov]], who, in 1246, was assassinated by the [[Mongols]].
Notable members of the family include:
*Princess {{ill|Elena Mikhailovna Repnina|ru|Репнина, Елена Михайловна}} was the first wife of future tsar [[Vasily Shuisky]]. The date of marriage is unknown, although they are mentioned together in 1580 as the witnesses in the description of [[Ivan IV]]'s wedding with [[Maria Nagaya]]. She had no children and died possibly in 1592, hypothetically - as the divorced woman in the monastery. The information about her is quite poor.<ref>Репнин М. И. Князья Репнины в истории Отечества. М.2009. С.44</ref> Her grave is unknown. Only in 1608 Vasily took the 2nd wife [[Maria Buynosova-Rostovskaya]] who become his only tsarina.
*Prince [[Anikita Ivanovich Repnin]] (1668-1726), his grandson, who was one of the Russian commanders during the [[Great Northern War]], ending his military career as Field Marshal and Minister of Defense.
*Prince [[Nikolay Vasilievich Repnin]] (1734-1801), the latter's son, probably the most illustrious member of the family, noted for his involvement in the Polish affairs and his decisive actions during the [[Russo-Turkish Wars]]. He had three daughters and a natural son ([[Ivan Pnin]]) but no legitimate male heir, hence [[Alexander I of Russia|Alexander I]] permitted his grandson Prince Nikolai [[Volkonsky]] to take the name Repnin and coat of arms of his grandfather. His descendants are known as Princes Repnin-Volkonsky.
