1. Title: "Vassili Mikhailovich Dolgurukov-Krimski: A Russian Statesman of the Eighteenth Century" 2.. This portrait depicts Vassili Mikhailovich Dolgurukov-Krimski (1722-1782), a prominent Russian statesman who played a significant role in the political landscape of the eighteenth century. Born into a noble family, Dolgurukov-Krimski rose through the ranks of the Russian bureaucracy, serving in various capacities under the reigns of Empresses Elizabeth and Catherine II. Dolgurukov-Krimski's political career began in the 1750s, during the reign of Elizabeth, when he was appointed as the Governor of Kazan and later the Governor-General of Siberia. He proved to be an effective administrator, implementing reforms that improved the living conditions of the local population and strengthened the Russian presence in the region. In the late 1760s, Dolgurukov-Krimski became a close advisor to Catherine II, who valued his experience and wisdom. He served as the Chancellor of the Russian Empire from 1769 to 1775, during which time he played a crucial role in the reform of the Russian legal system and the establishment of the Senate. Despite his many accomplishments, Dolgurukov-Krimski's tenure as Chancellor was not without controversy. He was criticized for his authoritarian leadership style and his role in the suppression of the Pugachev Rebellion, a peasant uprising that threatened the Russian state. This portrait, likely painted during his time as Chancellor, captures the intensity and intelligence of a man who dedicated his life to the service of his country. Dolgurukov-Krimski's legacy as a Russian statesman continues to be studied and debated by historians, making this image an invaluable addition to any collection of Russian history.
