Prince Sergei Fedorovich Golitsyn(November 5, 1749 - January 7, 1810) - general of the infantry (1801), member of the State Council (1810).

Biography

Prince Sergei Golitsyn was born in 1748. Father - Prince Fyodor Sergeevich Golitsyn (August 14, 1714 - September 1770) - President of the Yamsk Chancellery, Actual State Councilor, mother - Countess Anna Grigorievna Chernysheva.

In December 1756, Sergei Golitsyn was enlisted in the artillery as a corporal, and in March 1761 he received the rank of bayonet cadet. He received his education in the Land Noble Cadet Corps, from which he was released as a lieutenant. From May 1764 - adjutant to the general-in-chief. Participated in the Russian-Turkish War of 1768-1774. For distinction in the Battle of Kagul, which took place on July 21 (August 1), 1770, Sergei Golitsyn received the Order of St. George, 4th degree. In October 1774, the prince was promoted to lieutenant colonel.

On September 22, 1775, Golitsyn, being a lieutenant colonel of the Smolensk Dragoon Regiment, was promoted to colonel and granted aide-de-camp to Catherine II. In May 1779, Prince Golitsyn was promoted to major general.

During the Russian-Turkish War of 1787-1791, he particularly distinguished himself during the assault on Ochakov and the Battle of Machinsky, for which he was awarded the Order of St. George, 2nd degree.

In 1797, Prince Golitsyn was appointed commander of the Life Guards Preobrazhensky Regiment. In the same year he was promoted to infantry general. In February 1798, as a result of the intrigues of Count Ivan Pavlovich Kutaisov, Golitsyn was dismissed from service. Count Kutaisov was the favorite of Paul I, but Golitsyn, with his disdainful attitude towards him, brought upon himself the disfavor of the emperor. In December 1798, Golitsyn was again recruited and appointed commander of a separate corps, which was planned to be sent against the French, but in January 1799 he was fired for the second time.

Sergei Fedorovich settled on his estate on Khopra in the village of Zubrilovka, Serdobsky district.

With the accession of Alexander I to the throne, on September 15, 1801, Golitsyn was appointed the first governor-general of the Baltic region in Riga and infantry inspector of the Livonia province. In 1802, Alexander I granted Golitsyn the highest award of the Russian Empire - the Order of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called:

On September 4, 1804, Sergei Fedorovich resigned at his personal request. From that time on, the Golitsyns finally settled in Zubrilovka and only went to Moscow for the winter.

During the campaign of 1806-1807, S. F. Golitsyn was appointed commander-in-chief of the III Region of the Zemsky Army, which included the Vitebsk, Mogilev, Smolensk and Chernigov provinces. In 1809 he was again recruited. He was entrusted with command of a corps (about 40 thousand people) sent to Galicia for joint actions with French troops against Austria. However, he did not have to conduct military operations. Approaching the Austrian border, Golitsyn acted extremely carefully, and had constant clashes with I. Poniatovsky’s “allied” Poles. Only one night skirmish occurred between his troops and the Austrians (and then by mistake) (3 people died on the Austrian side).

On January 1, 1810, S. F. Golitsyn was appointed a member of the State Council, but news of this came a day after his death.

On January 7, 1810, on the day of his departure to Russia, Prince Sergei Fedorovich Golitsyn died suddenly in the city of Tarnopol (Galicia). On January 20, he was buried on his estate in the village of Zubrilovka.

Memoirist Philip Vigel characterized S. F. Golitsyn as follows:

Family

Sergei Fedorovich Golitsyn married on January 25, 1779 in St. Petersburg to Varvara Vasilievna Engelhard (March 12, 1761 - May 2, 1815). She was a translator and writer, and was the niece of Prince Potemkin-Tavrichesky. Varvara Vasilyevna received the title of maid of honor in 1777, and in 1802 she became a cavalry lady. She died and was buried in the village of Zubrilovka.

The marriage produced 10 sons.

Estates

At the end of the 18th century, Catherine II practiced broad and generous grants of Saratov lands to nobles and service people close to the Court of Her Imperial Majesty. It was then that Prince Sergei Fedorovich Golitsyn wrote to the Saratov governor P. S. Potemkin in a half-pleading, half-ironic manner:

On both sides of the Khopr, the Golitsyns were granted 6,338 acres (6,925 hectares) of land. In addition, the prince was given huge oak tracts and the Khoper River for dozens of miles downstream.

Zubrilovka

The family nest of Sergei Fedorovich Golitsyn and his descendants became the village of Zubrilovka, where he built an estate that became famous throughout Russia. For the estate, the prince chose a place on a hill, near the village. The palace, built in 1780, presumably according to the design of the Italian architect Giacomo Quarenghi, combined rectangular and rounded forms in its architecture of early classicism. The construction was carried out mainly by the efforts of the lower ranks of the 24-squadron Smolensk Dragoon Regiment, which was stationed in those places, and whose chief was Prince Golitsyn. The unity of the estate ensemble consisted of a park with an area of ​​about 80 hectares, the Church of the Transfiguration (1786), a three-tier bell tower (1796), a decorative ruin tower erected by French prisoners in the 1810s, a temple-tomb, a chapel, children's and Chinese houses in the park. Everything was integrated into the surrounding landscape and formed a single whole with it. Up to 600 courtyard people lived in the estate.

Largely through the efforts of Sergei Fedorovich and his wife, a beautiful park landscape was created in the estate - a pond separating the estate from the village, a dam, an access alley, a central clearing lined in a circle with oaks, maples, ash trees, a wide road framed by linden trees.

In the autumn months of 1797, the fabulist Ivan Andreevich Krylov lived in the estate as the prince’s personal secretary and mentor to his children. The poet Evgeny Abramovich Baratynsky often came to Zubrilovka from his Tambov estate. Gabriel Romanovich Derzhavin visited the estate many times and dedicated the ode “Autumn during the Siege of Ochakov” to the estate and its inhabitants (in the handwritten collection this work is titled “Autumn in the village of Zubrilovka, 1788 in November”). The ode was written in November 1788 during the Russian-Turkish War of 1787-1791, namely the “Ochakov Sitting”, in which S. F. Golitsyn participated. The ode reflected both the poet’s personal feelings about the fate of Sergei Fedorovich and the charm of the Zubrilov landscape.

Portrait hall of the manor palace (until 1905)

V. Borisov-Musatov “Walk at Sunset” (1903)

The estate was famous for its rich artistic and historical collection: in the white Empire hall of the palace there were almost 150 family portraits, in the large round hall there were rare works of art - sculptures, vases, a collection of porcelain, weapons, and a library of thousands. To entertain his large family and guests, Golitsyn formed a horn orchestra of 40 people at the estate, who also knew how to play wind instruments. On holidays, music was played in Zubrilovsky Park and concerts were held, in which, in particular, I. A. Krylov took part, playing the violin. There is reason to believe that Golitsyn had a small home serf theatre, but no reliable information about it has survived.

In 1810, the Zubrilovka estate was inherited by Prince Fyodor Sergeevich Golitsyn. In 1821, in two two-story outbuildings, he founded a boarding school for noble children from poor families, which housed 36 boys and 46 girls. After the death of F. S. Golitsyn, the boarding houses were closed. In 1826, the estate came into the possession of Fyodor Sergeevich’s eldest son, Prince Alexander Fedorovich Golitsyn-Prozorovsky.

M. Yu. Lermontov visited these places more than once. The estate was visited by P. A. Vyazemsky, I. I. Lazhechnikov, Ya. P. Polonsky. In 1899-1902, the artist Viktor Elpidiforovich Borisov-Musatov worked in Zubrilovka during the summers, creating the paintings “Tapestry”, “Pond”, “Walking at Sunset”, “Ghosts”. The estate became famous as a “diamond in a Faberge setting.” The estate and the entire collection of books and works of art, except for a few portraits that were on display in the Tauride Palace, were destroyed during the pogrom in October 1905. Later, the palace was restored and a sanatorium was located in it. Now the estate is again in disrepair.

Makarovo and Severka

According to the Vedomosti, compiled according to the alphabet of the Saratov province of Serdobsky district in 1794-1808, the patrimonial possessions of Sergei Fedorovich Golitsyn at that time were the village of Nikolskoye (Makarovo identity), the northern part of the village of Nikolskoye (Makarovo), which was listed as a village, and the villages of Severskaya and Chizhovka , which at the beginning of the 19th century were united into the village of Severki (now the village of Severka, Rtishchevsky district). After his death, the estates were inherited by his son - Grigory Sergeevich Golitsyn(1779-1848). In all likelihood, it was in honor of him that the northern part of the village of Nikolskoye received the name the village of Grigoryevka.

And hurry up, Golitsyn!
Bring laurel into your home with olive oil.
‎Your wife is golden-haired,
Plenira with heart and face,
The long-desired voice has been waiting,
When you arrive at her house;
When you hug me passionately
You are your seven sons,
You will look tenderly at your mother
And in joy you will not find words.
