Relatives
Scriabin was the uncle of Metropolitan Anthony Bloom of Sourozh, a renowned bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church who directed the Russian Orthodox diocese in Great Britain between 1957 and 2003. Scriabin's daughter Ariadna (Ariane) (1906–1944) was born in Italy, converted to Judaism (taking the name Sarah), and married the Russian poet and Jewish WWII Resistance fighter David Knut. She was responsible for communications between the command in Toulouse and the partisan forces in the Tarn district and for taking weapons to the partisans, which resulted in her death when she was ambushed by the French Militia.
