Commander Biography

After some time, his father is appointed chairman of the Civil Chamber of the Provincial Court in Irkutsk - the then capital of Eastern Siberia, which included the territory from the Yenisei to the Pacific Ocean. Got a good home education. Distinguished by natural linguistic abilities, by the age of 14 he knew five European languages. Then Rezanov becomes the head of the office of Count N.

This official growth indicates not only the business qualities of a young man, but also of someone's rather powerful support. For an ordinary official, not from the nobles or from the provincial minor nobles, such “jumps” on the service ladder “through two steps” were unlikely, and, starting the service from the lower, class in “Tables about the ranks”, another could grow up to the assessor of the position and to the college assessor of the rank, which gave the right to hereditary nobility to old age.

Rezanov goes to his service as the ruler of the office, which opens him the doors of cabinets and houses of the most high -ranking nobles. Sometimes even he has to fulfill the empress’s personal instructions, which further accelerates the career of a young man. After some time, he enters the staff of the new favorite of the Empress P. Zubov, who, fearing a possible replacement of himself in the “position” of the Tsarny’s favorite, a young handsome man, under a plausible pretext, gets rid of Rezanov, sending him to Irkutsk to inspect the activities of the merchant G.

Shelikhov, who claimed the monopoly right to engage in furry commercial The coast of Russia. In an effort to strengthen his position, Shelikhov wakes up his eldest daughter, Anna for Rezanov. It was probably a marriage and in love the capital's handsome man with an excellent education and secular manners simply could not help but hit the girl’s heart from a distant, deaf province, and according to a mutual beneficial calculation: not a very rich groom became a co -owner of a huge capital, and the bride from the merchant family and the children from this marriage received a generic coat of arms and all the privileges of the titled Russian nobility.

From this moment on, Rezanov’s fate is closely connected with Russian America. The Russian-American company six months after the marriage of his daughter Grigory Ivanovich Shelikhov suddenly dies at the age of forty-seven and his capital shares between the heirs. Nikolai Petrovich, becoming one of them, attaches all his forces, using the influence and connections in St.

Petersburg, to create a powerful unified Russian company on the Pacific. In the year, Rezanov became the secretary, then the chief secretary of the Senate. It makes up the “Charter of Prices” and establishes the layout of the land fee in St. Petersburg and Moscow. For this work, he was awarded the Order of Anna II degree and a pension of two thousand rubles a year.

And soon Emperor Paul I, who replaced Catherine II, who died in the year, signs a decree on the creation of a single Russian-American company of cancer on the basis of the companies and other Siberian merchants, the main management of which is transferred from Irkutsk to St. Petersburg, and Nikolai Petrovich Rezanov is appointed by the representative of the cancer.

Now he is the state nobleman and an entrepreneur at the same time. The chief secretary of the government Senate Rezanov was up to a year. Until the end of G. Rezanov from the environment of business people of the empire and showered him with his mercy. Twelve days after the birth of her daughter, Anna Grigoryevna died. Rezanov wrote about his wife: "eight years of our marriage, they gave me all the happiness of this life as if in order to lose her to poison her stitches of my days." The emperor offers the inconsolable widower to take part in the upcoming first round -the -world voyage.

In the city of the Highest command, N. Rezanov is appointed by the envoy to Japan and the head of the first Russian round -the -world expedition of the GG. During the preparation of the expedition, its leaders gave a lot of various orders of an economic, political, scientific nature, but there were still two main goals: establishing relations with Japan and the inspection of Russian America Alaska.

A month before departure on July 10, Rezanov was awarded the Order of St. Anna I degree and he was awarded the title of chamberlain of his Majesty. Kruzenshtern was entrusted with the general naval leadership and the “Neva” under the command of Yu. Japan, Alaska at the end of September, Russian ships went to Nagasaki. The six-month mission of his excessiveness in Japan was unsuccessful, and Rezanov went from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to Alaska.

Having sent the ship “Nadezhda” under the command of Kruzenshtern to Canton, and then to Kronstadt, Nikolai Petrovich on the Maria trading brig, headed for Sith. Here, on the island of Sith, N. Rezanov met with the ruler of “Russian America”, a merchant A. The lack of the most necessary, and especially food, keenly affected the Russian colony. Seeing the futility of Baranov’s efforts in this matter, Rezanov bought a ship “Juno” from the visiting American businessman along with its contents and thereby supported compatriots at first.Nikolai Petrovich connected his further social-state species with a trip to the “Juno” to the Spanish Fort San Francisco to establish trade relations with the Spaniards.

He succeeded. California, the commandant's family, the Juno ship sailed to California on February 26, under the command of Lieutenant N. Khvostov, and a month later reached the Gulf of San Francisco. Rezanov made friends with the family of the commandant Presidio San Francisco fortress. A beautifully educated and educated commander and gentleman of the Maltese Big Cross of St.

John of Jerusalem, N. Between them, a love broke out, which was destined to become a legend. The wedding was not predetermined, for the agreement was reached: the groom will return to St. Petersburg and ask for the petition of his emperor for a sort of marriage to Pope. Nikolai Petrovich himself promised the Conchis and her parents that two years will be enough for this, after which he would return and they will gain family happiness.

He saw them for the last time, was not destined for him to meet more with consoles. Sakhalin failure of the mission of N. Rezanov seemed to have buried hopes for the establishment of trade relations between Russia and Japan for a long time. However, N. Rezanov himself believed that not everything was lost, Rezanov gives N. Khvostov a secret instruction, prescribing it together with G.

Davydov to take swimming to South Sakhalin, as well as to the islands of Urup and Simushir. During this voyage, the ships of the Juno and Avos were to “enter the Aniva lip” to exterminate the Japanese ships there and capture the Japanese suitable for work, but the Japanese should not be able to move to Hokkaido, “saying that they would never have a visit to the Russian possessions to visit otherwise, as if coming for Torg.” Rezanov left America in July.

From Novoarkhangelsk, literally saved by the returned "Juno" from the hungry death, the path of Russian travelers with the Chreda of unpleasant adventures went to Okhotsk. In Okhotsk were in October. Prudence demanded to wait out the autumn thaw, but Rezanov did not want to listen to anyone. Then he set off on a “multi -threshold path of riding riding”. Frosts and snow caught him on the way, he caught a cold and was treated for ten days in Yakutsk.

Life became thinning rapidly. On a frosty day, on the way to Krasnoyarsk, Nikolai Petrovich fell from a horse and hit his head in the ground.
