More info

Count Dmitry Andreevich Tolstoy (1823–1889) went down in history as a statesman of the first rank, who began his career during the reign of Nicholas I and repeatedly held ministerial posts under Alexander II and Alexander III. The results of his government activities received ambiguous, often opposing assessments from contemporaries and historians. On the one hand, he appears as a persecutor of enlightenment, on the other, as a patron of scientific research.

The biography of this major official serves as a vivid illustration of many of the contradictions of the 19th century. In the life path of D. A. Tolstoy, two storylines can be clearly traced: the stormy collisions of bureaucratic life and the quiet calm of scientific studies.

The reader will find in this biographical description a bright coloring of the landowner life of pre-reform and post-reform Russia, a description of the first steps of the Russian historical science, features of the bureaucratic career of that era, problems of education and charity.

The publication is addressed to a wide readership: teachers, students, historians, as well as anyone interested in Russian history.
