Count Dmitry Andreevich Tolstoy (1823 - 1889) went down in 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 education, 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 XNUMXth century. In the life path of D. A. Tolstoy, two storylines are clearly traced: stormy collisions of bureaucratic life and office lull of scientific studies.
