For the "master of representation" that predilection for the koshtovnost nicknames "diamond prince."
Early rock [ | ]
Oleksandr was the first deputy of Prince Boris Oleksandrovich and the yogo squad of Deer Stepanivna, daughter of Field Marshal S. F. Apraksin. Not long before his death, the father was taken by his grandmother's brother, Mikita Ivanovich Paninim, and brought from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
Panіn іїх їхіх ідіти у відсноїї і, being the guardian of the Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich, wanting to splurge and play with his nephew. From that hour, Prince Kurakin became one of the closest friends of the future emperor, whom he called Pavlushka in private lists. Once you have laid down your money, so that you can deliver the necessary sum to the Tsarevich, having demanded a penny for that hour.
In 1766 p. Prince Kurakin headed the boards for the appointment to Kiel, to the Albertine Collegium, de hearing lectures close to fate, at the same time at the Russian embassy in Copenhagen, and having taken the name in 1766. Danish order. Having completed his education at Leiden University in the company of such brilliant young people, like N. P. Sheremetev, N. P. Rumyantsev, N. B. Yusupov, S. S. Apraksin.
The rebuying of the nephew in the Netherlands was furnished by Count Paninim as a warning for having a winding, in the sheets to the uncle the young prince obіtsyaє іssya and hung kayattya at his vchinkas. For an hour of his grand tour "Monsieur Borisov" (a pseudonym of the Russian mandrill) he also saw England and France; style description of the trip ordered by him 1815 p. at St.Petersburg, there was a Plyushar. All extracurricular rebuking cost Kurakin 13,000 rubles.
In 1772 p. Kurakin, who got involved in childishness in the service of the guard, gave orders to the chamber junkers, and in 1775. appointments to the Senate. In 1778 p. Kurakin was slain as a dean chamberlain, and after the reform of the noble self-regulation was carried out, he was appointed by the St. Petersburg gang of the nobility. The unobtrusive service did not respect Prince Kurakin to accompany the Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich on the road for the cordon, and earlier in Berlin to get acquainted with the betrothed, Sophia of Württemberg, as she learned to value Kurakin’s friendship with the royal man and his long life.

On the eve of the trip of Kurakin, he was consecrated to the greatest world of Freemasonry with the order to take over the grand master of the Russian provincial lodge, pidkorivshi її head Swedish chapter. The stately, calm and warm red-prince captivated the heart of the young Countess Fersen, the best friend of the squad of Charles XIII.
After turning to Russia, Prince Kurakin again becomes the closest person to the Tsarevich, and I don’t see it in Gatchina most often. Spadkoєmets buv already tied to the new, naming yoga with your soul. Emperor Josip II wrote from this source:
This friendship was not praised by the then Katherine II, it became clear that the Swedish King Gustav III would arrive in St. Petersburg, which was a visible freemason, having seen the selection of freemasons at Kurakin’s budin, dedicating Pavel Petrovich’s freemasonry. The perusal of Kurakin's listing with the young P. A. Bibikov became an uninterrupted drive. For the influence of the empress, with suspicion, which was heard by the masons, Kurakin was hanging from St. Petersburg in the Saratov village - the village of Borisoglibske.
Life by the village [ | ]
Nadezhdinsky park on the cob of the XIX century
Oleksandr Borisovich renaming the village to Nadezhdino (named associating with his inner camp of the soul - hope for turning back to St. Petersburg). Vіn vlastuvav rozkіshnu residence there, de living vіsіm rokіv life of a rich Russian pan. Navit on your own vіn pіdtrimuvav listing with your royal friend, vipisuvav because of the cordon of the book and slaving a well-fed library. Vіn is alive vіdcrito, hospitably; for the guests, special rules were created, so that they could give freedom to the skin and not encircle the ruler; one point by saying:
With writing that encourages such a way of life, robbing Prince Kurakin of trips with his shirts; one of them is described in the book of 1793, which becomes a bibliographical rarity: “Description of the expensive 1786 r. Yogo lordship ... book. A. B. Kurakin, down the Sura from Krasnoyarsk to Chirkovskaya pier ... ". A similar way of life by getting yoga to dosit significant borgs. However, Emperor Pavlo, having smelt the ice, negligently made Kurakin wine for his faithfulness, blowing all the winds of wine on him and pouring a board of mercy on him.
In 1804, Kurakin granted freedom to his peasants from 22 farms (the settlements of Bilokurakinskaya and Pavlivka in the Starobil district of Kharkiv province), numbering up to 3000 souls. Vіn transvіv їх vіchno i hereditary vіlnі khliborobi, i gave up to їm up to 60,000 acres of land. On their side, the peasants went to the farm to bring in twenty-five years of money one million rubles in banknotes to the St. Petersburg Opikunsky Rada for the punishment of vikhovants of Prince Baroniv Serdobinikh. Tsya sum was a meager equal to real art.
Rule of Paul [ | ]
After the death of Catherine II, Kurakin was allowed to turn to the capital and continue his career. Broaching leaf fall 1796 r. Kurakin nadanny buv at taєmnі radniki, appointments as a member for the sake of the emperor, vice-chancellor, deaths in deysnі taєmnі radniki, having taken away the orders of St. Volodymyr 1 st. that Andrew the First-Called. In addition, you were given budinok in St. Petersburg, and on the day of the coronation, 4 yew. souls and rich fishing in the Astrakhan province, the income from which lived the population of the whole great region.
Sovereigns rightly, calling on everything, borrowed the new vice-chancellor less, less courtiers of intrigue; accept, Greek calls him a human being “empty and unintelligent”. Podіbniy vodguk zalishiv i Vіgel:
The party of the empress, until which Kurakin arrived, incessantly quarreled with the party of Rostopchin. If at 1798 p. Empress Maria Fedorivna and the maid of honor Nelidova spent their money, Prince Kurakin was the most important ally of the last ally of the diplomatic settlement and hangings to Moscow. Approximately at the same hour (1798), the members of the Russian Academy were called.
New disgrace, vtim, did not try for a long time. Already on February 1, 1801. Kurakin was the day before the hour of the consecration of the new Mikhailovsky castle, and 20 days later Count Rostopchin was ordered to do so on the same date, Prince Kurakin was punished to enter the vice-chancellor's settlement. Vіn becoming often in the palace, in the nearest time of the emperor, and being present, among others, at the rest of the evening table of Pavel Petrovich in advance of the day of vomiting.
Kurakin herself was instructed to seal and sort out the papers of the late sovereign. At the time of the order of Emperor Paul, it appeared that he had commanded the honor of the Order of the Black Eagle to his “faithful friend”, that he had previously worn Frederick II, that he himself had handed over to the Russian Tsarevich, and the sword that lay before the Count d'Artois.
Ambassador Service [ | ]
Rozpovidali that one of these costumes vryatuvav yoma life for an hour later, trapping for an hour of the ball, given in Paris by the Austrian ambassador Schwarzenberg on the 1st day of 1810. If it started to get hot, Oleksandr Kurakin was beaten from the ground, and his camisole was richly embellished, protecting his sackcloth from the high temperature. Tim is not less, he has taken off serious op- ikas and has been addicted to lying down for ten months; Whom did you look at in the reflections on the Parisian engraving.
It is also important that Kurakin is in fashion (in Europe) the primary way of serving food, the names of the new service à la russe (Russian serving), which means in the step-by-step serving of food in the order of their distribution in the menu. This new way of step-by-step serviruvannya behind the method of "everything in a row", which earlier won the title of "service à la française" (French serving, "French system").
Living in Paris in 1772, taking dance lessons from the famous choreographer Vestris. At the dances at the court, he was the post-pain cavalier of the Empress Mary Fedorivna.

As if evening Petersburg, two walked. One in a simple military uniform, the other - in a chepurny kaptan. The spirits of the companions were cheerful, the stench twirled anecdotes, like the raptom of the one in uniform, strikingly recognizing the voice: "Pavlo, poor Pavlo, poor prince!" Vin involuntarily shuddered, zupinivsya and looked around. In front of my eyes, a taєmnichny htos appeared at the Spanish cloak, with a droplet, we put it on our eyes. There could not be any doubts - an eagle look, a swaggering forehead and a stern grin saw the great ancestor of Paul - Peter I. ".
Chi bachish ti tsyogo. what's the order? Chi chuesh yoga words? - Pavlo turned back to his friend. “You go to the wall of the very wall, - you see that one, - and it is physically impossible for someone to be between you and that one. I don’t smell anything, I smell nothing!” - “Ah! Skoda, why don’t you see what I see, - having missed Pavlo dokirlivo. - I feel special about myself.
In this textbook episode, after which Pavlo Petrovich took off the nickname "Russian Hamlet", not only the future monarch himself, but also accompanied by a dandy. The rest for love to the point of bliss and bliss was also called “diamond prince”. That was Prince Oleksandr Borisovich Kurakin (1752-1818), who really didn’t feel anything, because he couldn’t understand the ignorance of the mind and the sense of his royal friend.
Sin of the old boyar family, to descend to the legendary Lithuanian Gedimina and Volodymyr Chervone Sonechko, Kurakin, from young nіgtіv, got close to the Grand Duke, becoming an indispensable companion of yoga childish amusements. On the right, in the fact that Count Mikita Ivanovich Panin, a relative of Kurakin, became Pavel's chief chamberlain, Count Mikita Ivanovich Panin, who, after the death of the boy's father (1764), became "another father." Yak famous Semyon Poroshin, Prince Oleksandr Borisovich "mayzhe skin day at the yogo high and offend and supper"; the stench is also played in the cart, shakhi and shuttlecock.
The friendship between Oleksandr and Pavel was not interrupted until the first hour of their five-year separation: Kurakin, like a well-born young man, was blessed with light beyond the cordon - a small cob in the Albertine Academy (Kiel), and then at the University of Leiden. Between him and the Tsesarevich, they begin to live a life of listing. “How can I accept that your highness will honor me with your favors,” Oleksandr wrote in the tradition of 1767. Pavlo encourages contacts with Kurakinim, and if it becomes more expensive for the Commonwealth, Denmark and Nimechchina.
Navchannya went to the disgrace of our prince (winning dekilkom with movs, adding interest to the sciences and educational literature, having calmed down in the court court before that), but also moral vihovannya. One of the rules of the academy, like students being guilty of guilt, would be unsatisfactorily victorious, it would come: Unique luxury, pride, and Marnoslavity and other expressions of the soul.” And Oleksandr Borisovich yakraz vіdkrito nekhtuvav with this kerіvnitstvom.
Since 1773, Kurakin is already being built up without a hitch under the Grand Duke, becoming one of the most important ones. The stench often wobble. And why are these friendly stosunki constantly moaning. Pavel's affiliation to the prince becomes even more significant after the fact that another closest associate of the Tsarevich, Count Andriy Rozumovsky, who turned out to be a companion of the first squad, was driven out of shambles. In 1776, Kurakin herself accompanied Paul to Berlin for a wedding with her named Sophia Dorothea (the future Empress Mary Feodorivna). In 1778, the prince was given the rank of chamberlain, and in 1781 he was appointed to the nobility of the St. Petersburg province. Knowing about his closeness to Pavel, many others, for Kurakin's help, fussed before the Grand Duke about their own affairs and invariably took the bastard for help. The mood of such charitable prokhachiv, having spoken, is sung by Petro Kozlovsky:
What am I to you goiter?
Who lives richly with you!
You are touched in my hearts:
Ah, podyaky law
And the troubles themselves are shaping.
In the years 1781-1782 Oleksandr Borisovich also spent time with the retinue of Pavel Petrovich. On a single thought, Kurakin was recognized as the most subtle cavalier in the polished crown prince. So, the Duke of Tuscany Leopold is on the list before his brother, Emperor Josip II on 5 chervnya 1782, it seems that from the Russian nobles he respects the noble prince.
However, after the turn from the qiєї more expensive Kurakin recognized the disgrace from the side of the Empress and the distance from the Courtyard. The reasons why they call Katerina, who gave up, the Prince’s shoddy Masonic activity of the prince (in 1779, there were several admissions to the head of the St. Petersburg Masonic Lodge) suspected the proximity of the "diamond prince" to the fall to the throne. To the word, the monarchy was jealously jealous and beaten up to the point of weariness; as if saying in Pavlo’s hearts: “Ah, as if I were pitiful, loitering in my retinue to wind a strange poodle; mother told me to drown yogo.”
Forty fourteen years, Oleksandr Borisovich spent time with his mother in the Saratov wilderness. Ale and here vydrimuvav vіn pіdtrimuvannya z grand duke, yaký asking his mother allowed him to baschit with the prince dvіchi on the river.
His sadiba, which she otrimala for yoga zabagannost characteristic name Nadezdino (vin mav on the vazі nadіya, yak not depriving navіt likholittі fell from the side of the empress), Kurakin obshtuvav on the star of the most beautiful European courts. Giacomo Quarenghi was the architect of the hopeful mansion, and three facades were designed by the prince himself. Yogo tripoverovy budinok-palace with a portico, including 80 rooms, lined with alabaster masa of different colors. The peace was embellished with expensive, rare beauty and the fineness of the furniture. The rich art gallery hosted hundreds of paintings by first class masters. For his creation, Kurakin requested landscape painters Yakov Filimonov and Vasil Prichetnikov from Nadezhdino. The collection of miraculous tapestries was turned on and the ruler chose a great fundamental library with books of the language community.
An English garden was laid out near the mansion, there were wooden churches of Friendship, Truth, Terpinnya, Podyaki, a pavilion-gallery "A place of honor of the eternal", monuments-obelisks to monarchs; the green grass had stitches, named after relatives and friends of the prince.
And most of all, he was hostile to the court staff, who served Kurakin. The prince's vanity was even more flattered that he planted butlers, stewards, masters of the chair, ceremonial masters, secretaries, librarians and Kapellmeisters, including the nobles (Kurakin was not stingy, paying them a noble fee). Dozens of other "lovers" without settlements, who praised the ruler, became the world of yoga. One historian said to his source: “Yak, the head of the forest hasn’t become confused, that from the sides of you it’s roaring!”
Oleksandr huffed and at his "open tables", at the same time they sounded like a few dozen people, including ice-knowing princes. The orders of the guests always had crews and riding horses; and at the hopeful stakes of the eager, boats with daring oarsmen checked. The prince, having ordered a special instruction, was given to Nadezhdino, a skin specialist; he has the following points: “The Lord is shaping the hospitality and hospitality for the sake of mutual satisfaction with the maid. Be it here, the timid understanding of the Lord will be accepted by him out of satisfaction, and we will thoroughly know it. Gospodar vimahaє quiet, yakі can curl up to the new. so that they swayed themselves as rulers and disposed of their own hour and their rights right from the very wound, like a skin sound and like a skin sound in a good way, even not managing the hour of the ruler himself.
Z іnіtіativi Kurakіn аt sadibi bіdkritо а school of painting, thаt buv was a music school, yakіy had classes for Parisian musicians; a home theater was created, a horn-ball orchestra; almshouse was founded. “Rozkish, like a wine so loving and in the midst of being alive, and chivalry, until such a maw is permanently slender, rozm'akshuali corporal and spiritual energy, and epicureism is seen in all yoga ruhs. No one is bigger than Prince Kurakin, choking on the malts of the old Marnoslavism, ”- summarizing the words. And, indeed, the prince boasted not only of his namelessly expensive clothes, but of his miraculous carriages. It is demonstrative that during the hours of Alexander I, if a rich carriage appeared, one only Kurakin rode at the gilded carriage about the high slope, in a train, with one postilion, two lackeys, and a walker on the backs, two riders in front and two walkers behind the carriage .
Kurakin, having created the cult of the Tsarevich in his Nadezhda family, the temples were named after the Grand Duke; at the chambers there were busts and statuettes depicting Paul; the walls decorated yoga parade portraits.
At that very hour, having established one point, for whom the prince and the crown prince did not converge. Tse їkhnє stavlennya up to clothes and chepuruni. The Grand Duke was attested as the opponent of human elegance. A handful of wines flared up without putting on outfits of special significance and not sitting, like a rich courtier, for years at the selection table, and then becoming jealous of the cloth of the old Prussian zrazka. Chi is Kurakin, clothes for some kind of rich archivious. Mikhailo Pilyaev rozpoviv: “Shranka, if the wine was thrown, the valet handed him a book, on a kshtalt album, where there were pieces of materials, from which were sewn his miraculous costumes, those pieces of cloth; with leather cloth, a sword, buckles, a ring, a snuffbox were especially used.
Behind the words of this historian, Oleksandr Borisovich became like a tragic-comic vapadok:
what a ring, what a letter is on the finger, we call you not to go to the snuffbox, and the snuffbox does not match the reshti of the suit. The praise of yoga was strong enough to win the great cards of the game”.
Commenting on what happened to the prince, Olga Vainshtein, a veteran of dandyism, says: “For a new one, the convenience of the details of the costume is the first mind of peace of mind, that is the main way of self-expression. Vіn vede to yourself like a classical courtier, who victorious fashion is like a stable semiotic code, a sign of your high camp, wealth that vminnya rozpriyazhitsya by the mighty mine. For this, the mimic non-balance among the dribnitsy is equal to the loss of the status of cheeriness”.
And then it should be noted that Kurakin, being a chepurun, dressed up for the sovereign, he himself forged the laws of refinement, luxury and writing. Vіn, following the words of Philip Vigel, without saying "lightly and slavishly podkoryatisya fashion, vіn want to be not a fashionista, but a great pan, and wear in oxamite or brocade, wear with diamond buckles and gudziks, rings and snuffboxes."
Yogo-eye captan, stars and crosses on the neck of the great tapeworms, pearl epaulette over the right shoulder, openwork on the chest and sleeves spoke about the originality of yoga relish.
Oleksandr buv power podkresleny narcissism. How else can you explain your truly maniacal addiction to charm your portraits and give them to your friends?
And the canvases were painted by the artists of the Middle Ages - Pompeo Button and Richard Brompton, Marie Elizabeth Luisa Vezhe-Lebrun and Jean Laurent Monier, Oleksandr Roslin and Johann Baptist Lampi the Younger, Augustin Christian Ritt and Jean Luis Veil. The portraits were copied and multiplied in kripaks, they were repeated in inconspicuous engravings. At the leaf to Kurakin on 22 breasts 1790 Jean Luї Veil says that "the overworldly bright color of the clothes and the overdone gleaming details" (on which the prince stepped on) "loosened the head part. such "blissful details" were self-worthy for Kurakin, and we did not want to give up on them.
The very same, in the light of his greatness, Oleksandr stands on the visible portrait of the brush of Volodymyr Borovikovsky (1799). Worthy of respect was chosen by the prince himself to harmonize the colors of the costume. The art historian Tetyana Alekseva described the portrait: "A brightly contrasting farbi dress - gleaming gold and silver, shimmering blue and red, black and white and black - lightening the sharpness, setting close behind the color, ale, less intense raspberry."
Before the speech, this year, a rich, gold-filled uniform, uryatuv our prince in the face of imminent death for an hour later, while eating near Paris at the palace of the Austrian ambassador Carl Philip Schwarzenberg on the 1st day of 1810. The gold on Kurakin’s ointment then heated up, but did not melt and served as a kind of defense in the fire, and to that, even if he took away the number of points, he called for diamonds in the amount of 70 thousand francs, but still he saved his life. On this day, Oleksandr Borisovich, like a right cavalier, having left the majestic remains at the majestic hoarse half-lights of the hall, in the truth of a beautiful person and not allowing himself to be viperedzhati.
It is necessary to say that Oleksandr Borisovich was too early to finish his thoughts about the wedding. At the leaf to Mikiti, Panina on 16 September 1773, the prince was born: It is true that I am still young, that the hour has not yet been seen, that I will be able to make up my mind according to my heart's passion; but I’m more afraid of addiction: it’s blinding, it’s rarely possible to do evil for good. And I believe that I have such an important choice with the only power of my mind. keranovyi buv, and to replace the hot half-moon of love, friendship between me and my future squad was strong, tight, firm and unruinous. Showing that Kurakin appeals here to the point of reason, and not to the point. To that, perhaps, he did not make friends with the enchanting, but rather poor Swedish countess Sophia Fersen, to such a heart's grace. Shlyub zakokhanimi not vydbuvsya, but the clay and the steel of their mutually almost antagonized the fellows. And only a few famous pannochs did not prophesy for the retinue of Oleksandr Borisovich! Among them are Countess Varvara Sheremeteva, head of Sovereign Chancellor Oleksiy Cherkasky, and legendary Field Marshal Boris “Sheremetev the Noble” of Peter the Great, and Prince Anastasia Dashkova, daughter of the famous “Katerina Maloy” (Dashkovo), and many others.
Friends did not deprive them of trying to make friends with the prince and even if his matrimonial plans became a fiasco. Senior friend Pavlo Levashov celebrated yoga in 1777: “There are no newborns here [near Moscow - L.B.], there are thousands of beautiful ones, there are thousands of them, and even more rich ones. I have remembered one of them for you, which has beauty, intelligence and wealth.” Ale, maybe, and this “marked” candidacy was not worthy of our prince. Vin so i became unfriendly.
And here you can’t go back to the classic classics of Russian bobils of the 18th century, presented by Kurakin’s contemporary writer-parodist Mykola Ivanovich Strakhovy (1768-1825) in the journal “Satirichniy Visnik” (1790-1792): a pig, that bristle of gold”; and if you didn’t know such a name for the new one, then for reasons of wine and don’t make friends. G. Spesyaga is not good enough to bend your knee, like a little before the tye, what a gentry would fight for 20 or 15 knees; but if the girls don’t know the wealth of generations, they don’t make friends with that. G. Znatnov, having declared in his own way the new position about naming, as if I am outweighing the power of the human mind, and myself: for repairing your own, nobility, nobility, nobility, nobility, clawing wine for wisdom And as long as the name of the names did not satisfy these wise yogis, then this great person has become a man of hope.
Having left behind the imagery of the names of Pustomozglov, Spesyagu and Znatnov, it was a trace of recognition that our prince, with a marvelous rank, asked all three hardened bachelors to drink from him. Rіdnі nіrіdko dоrіkаl yoma і for boyars fanaberіy, і for chasing after riches we give.
An hour later, trying to find a family, it was given, it was said to the princes that having crossed fifty, good luck - the twenty-five rich was named Countess Hanna, the daughter of the brilliant Katerina's "Alekhan", Oleksiy Orlov-Chesmensky, she was more than prihilny, just like that yak i її. Ale and here the naming appeared incoherently, and the school was embarrassed.
Having said the best about it, Oleksandr himself, what kind of buv is not the best for his bachelor camp. Vіn wrote to Panin: “Look, merciful sir, unfortunate and most necessary, in the case of a bachelor life, there are consequences, divorce of names, in the distance of honesty, stolen innocence, forgetfulness of the power of justice and the power of housework under that rubbish”.
Historian Petro Druzhinin described Kurakin’s appointment to women even more precisely: “You can’t find at that hour in Russia the most homely, lower prince ferlacur [helicopter dust - L.B.] - for approximate chicks in mothers up to seventy children and inspire every once in a while of friendship.” Really, this is not a funny phenomenon - ring out the sound of praise and indulgence with women, becoming indolent and passive, it was good to talk about the hat!
For whom, the prince is similar to his titled grandfather, Count Mikita Panin, a kind of bezshlyubnіst poednuvav z naivitchenіshim rozpustoj. The bachelor Kurakin became famous as one of the greatest companions of the 18th century, and the astronomical number of children-bastards living with him has not been exceeded. At home, the share of less than a dozen of them, as if by the efforts of the prince, was taken away by the efforts of the prince, the spadkov's nobility and great family coats of arms. The children of Kurakina, born as Akulina Samoilova, are Boris, Stepan, Maria, and also the half-bloods (from other mothers) Pavlo, Pollit and Oleksandr, who were given the titles of barons and the name of Vrevska (the toponym of the village of Oleksandro-Vrev, Ostrov district, Pskov province). The other side children of Oleksandr Borisovich - Oleksandr (1), Oleksandr (2), Oleksiy, Katerina, Lukerya, Sofia and Hanna - became barons of Serdobinimi (from the river Serdobi of the Serdob district of the Saratov province, where he knew the mother of Kurakino). Podeykuvali, scho voluptuous prince ulashtuvav on the upper version of his homeland gardening for a harem. They also judged that Kurakin did not rave and tie with the ladies of the lowest parsing - the main criterion here was that very “heartfelt predilection”, which wines were so afraid of from the right of lovers.
Obviously, Kurakin is richly-faceted and cicavius, not less than his chepurnist and epicureanism. Oleksandr Borisovych was buff in body in the flesh of the 18th century with deep contrasts and rubbish. Feeling like a representative of an old-time prizvishcha, vin with all his might appeared in the press of his ancestry and spivpratsyuvav z famous Mykola Novik, Mykola Bantish-Kamensky. For the rest of the yogo, it was trivale of listing for forty (!) Years, which were discussed more importantly by those on the topic of the day. The disgraced prince is born from the mischief-maker, chirping with a streaming policy, which witnesses great epistolary decay. Speaking about the political look of Kurakin, it is brought to light that he is guilty, like Paul, who hates radical devils and the French Revolution, scourging at his sheets the “jagidly marny” “philosophers of the Ninish capital”, that Oleksandra Radishcheva is sampered. It’s not someone else’s fault that illuminated that literature, and he himself sinned with creation, having seen a sprinkling of books in Russian and French languages. The prince was a patron of arts, and a lot of philologists were sent to him for help, and the deacons assigned their books to him. Kurakin interceded with the famous author of "Darling" Ipolit Bogdanovich, who, before the speech, had inherited the prince and his front line (they also sings "walking like a chepurun at the French kaptan with a gamanette on his back, with a taffeta capelyukh under the smell"). Oleksandr Borisovich was also a wonderful agronomist, stagnant in practice, in Nadezhdino, knowledge of this subject and making friends with Vilna Economic Society.
After the death of Katherine II, on Kurakin, no ranks were shed, a city of other favors from Paul I, who favored the new one (now the emperor), is a de facto secret guardian, vice-chancellor, cavalier of the current Russian orders, etc. budinok near St. Petersburg, 4300 souls near the Pskov and St. Petersburg provinces, and then, together with my brother, having taken 20 thousand acres of land in the Tambov province, fishing and state-owned dealerships in the Astrakhan province and many others. The short-hour disgrace obscured the troubles of a short-hour disgrace, placed on the new one in 1798 by a chimerical friend-monarch (under the pressure of the courtiers, who superseded Kurakinim, and Ivan Kutaisov and Fyodor Rostopchin). having become a new embrace of all things, plant sinekuri.
One can only talk about Kurakin, the penetrating contemporary Count Fedir Golovkin: "I love sparkles, not through merits, or trust what you give them, but with your diamonds and your gold, and having jumped to the high places, it's less like a handy nagod, so you constantly put it on" .
To that man, the titles of that fence served to you, in fact, the same attributes of the chepur, as if writing or a gilded carriage.
During the reign of Oleksandr I, honorary settlements at Kurakin did not change. Vіn becoming a member of the Neo-Administrative Council for the sake of the Board of Foreign Affairs, then the appointment of the Chancellor of Russian Orders. From linden 1806 vin - ambassador to Vidnia, after, from 1808 - to Paris. At 1812 roci
Oleksandr Borisovich, among others, having tried to regulate the Russian-French vodnosini and after a failure, clave the ambassador's bindings.
In the rest of the lives of the wines, they do not have a memorable political role, they are overshadowed by the figure of the past century and - the zenith of their greatness - the Pavlovsk Tsar. And it’s not unusual that you yourself were entrusted with sorting out the papers of the late Paul. In memory of that era, on the honorable place in June of Hopeful Trival, the majestic pictorial painting by Martin Ferdinand Kvadal "The Coronation of Paul I and Mary Feodorivna in the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin on April 5, 1797" hung, de middle of the young dignitaries of the princes ". Those who, when taken as a special chic and glare, gave the new Oleksandrivska Tsaryuvannya with new ideas a chance to match Kurakin with a peacock.
Kohaniy rozkish, Oleksandr Borisovich buv, however, was honored "without any writing" in Pavlovsk on 29 September 1818; at the ceremony, they were present only close. In addition, the Dowager Empress Maria Fedorivna, who favored the prince, ordered that a monument be erected with a bas-relief of the prince and a modest inscription “My friend's squad”. Tsya epitaph may be accurate: even in history Kurakin uvishov, first for everything, like a companion of "Russian Hamlet".
