Lady Lydia Deterding (1904-1980), née Kudeiarov, was the daughter of General Paul Kudeiarov. In 1924, she married Sir Henri Deterding, general manager of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and chairman of Royal Dutch Shell. The couple's English country house was Buckhurst Park in Winkfield, Berkshire, where Mrs Deterding lived with her two daughters after her divorce in 1937.
Lady Deterding was well known in France as a benefactor of various famous causes, including the restoration of the Palace of Versailles, the Museum of the Legion d’Honneur and others. She also helped to repair the Russian cathedral in Paris and financed a Russian high school.
