The notes of Alexander Mikhailovich Turgenev, hereditary nobleman, statesman and public figure, director of the Medical Department, Tobolsk civil governor in 1823-1825, were first partially published in 1848 on the pages of "Russkaya Starina" and have never been republished. A. M. Turgenev himself was a friend of V. A. Zhukovsky, with whom he corresponded for 30 years. In the 1850s in his apartment on Millionnaya Street literary men (I. S. Turgenev, L. N. Tolstoy) gathered and read their works, visited N. A. Milyutin and many figures of the reform to liberate the peasants.
A. M. Turgenev's notes, written in a lively, fascinating language, provided with scientific commentaries and index, will be of interest both to a wide range of readers and specialists.
