died March 23, 1907, St. Petersburg
Russian government administrator.
He wrote and lectured on civil law at Moscow University (1859–65), tutored the sons of Tsar
Alexander II, and later became a close adviser to
Alexander III, influencing him to adopt reactionary policies. As director general of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox church (1880–1905), he assumed great power over domestic policy in education,
