Count Dmitry Andreevich Tolstoy (1823 - 1889) entered history as a statesman of the first plan, who began his career in the reign of Nicholas I and repeatedly held ministerial posts under Alexander II and Alexander III. The results of his state activity received ambiguous, often opposite 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 is a vivid illustration of many contradictions of the 19th century. In the life of D. A. Tolstoy two storylines are clearly traced: the turbulent collisions of official life and the calm of scientific studies.
