“Pobedonostsev His Life and Thought”
FEW PERIODS IN THE HISTORY of any country are richer in the quantity of well-organized materials for historical research than is the nineteenth century in Russia, and there are few statesmen or men of letters for whose study the historical record is more complete than for Pobedonostsev. He lived in a period in which the government and the educated members of society were acutely conscious of the need to preserve historical records, and succeeding generations in the Soviet Union have shown remarkable thoroughness and care in preserving these materials, putting them into good order, publishing substantial quantities of significant source material, and providing guides and bibliographies. Soviet archivists are exceeded by none in the skill and cordiality with which they have organized their resources and have made them available to scholars, except where political considerations still intervene. Since 1956, most archives in Moscow and Leningrad (but few outside these two cities) have been open to American scholars, who have therefore profited enormously in their efforts to expand and improve our understanding of Russian history.
The information available concerning Pobedonostsev is particularly rich. He began his career as a scholar-bureaucrat and remained a prolific author, translator, and editor throughout his long life. He kept all of his letters and papers throughout the last forty years of his life and most of them for the previous decade. During his last fifteen years, he gave many letters to him and by him to scholars and to friends for publication, and he arranged for the publication of many himself. His will provided for the transfer of his surviving records to the Rumiantsev Museum in Moscow, now a part of the Lenin Library. Many of these letters and other materials have been published. Others are well catalogued, as are those of the other men and women of his time who kept their private papers.
The nature of Pobedonostsev’s interests, his acquaintances, and his work required me to use every possible type of bibliographical tool. Indeed, the thorough and careful search for all data developed into an education in itself, since Russian bibliographical data are not so well organized as are those for studies in the histories of most western European countries or the United States. The foundations on which this volume was built therefore consist of exacting work in bibliographies of bibliographies; bibliographies of many kinds; lists of books published annually; the Zhurnal Ministerstva narodnago prosveshcheniia for the years from 1837 through 1868, the Pravitel’stvennyi vestnik from 1869 through 1906, and the various manifestations of Knizhnaia Letopis’ since 1907. The dreary task of plodding through these last two chronicles was relieved by catalogues which for a few years list the books published in Russia during those years. Pobedonostsev was a frequent contributor to Russkii arkhiv and Istoricheskii vestnik, so these historical journals were studied with great care. Russkaia starina in the second half of the nineteenth century and Krasnyi arkhiv during the first two decades of the Soviet period were also reviewed systematically because of the valuable documents, letters, memoirs, and other vital source material they contained. Biographical collections, guides to periodical literature, encyclopedias, and similar tools in various languages were also systematically consulted. Guides to libraries and to archives, particularly in the Soviet Union, helped locate other data.
The impressive growth in quality of American library collections in the field of Russian history is demonstrated by the fact that almost every published work of Pobedonostsev was obtainable in the United States. Moreover, almost all of the other published volumes and articles, from memoirs to state papers, were also available here. Some European libraries, notably the British Museum and the Bibliothèque National, were also splendid resources. Soviet archives, particularly those in the manuscript divisions of the Lenin Library, the Library of the Academy of Sciences in Moscow, and the Saltykov-Shchedrin Library in Leningrad, were remarkably rich in the letters and other papers of Pobedonostsev and his generation. These archives were supplemented by the Manuscript Division of the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskii Dom) and the Central State Historical Archive of the U.S.S.R., both in Leningrad.
This volume is based on careful analysis of all the material which a thorough and imaginative survey could produce, except for a few letters to and from Pobedonostsev and the archival materials in the Central State Historical Archive concerning the Council of State, the Senate, the Synod, and the Ministry of Education, which I was not able to obtain. This deficiency is repaired to a considerable extent by the mass of other data, some published and some unpublished, dealing with the work of these institutions. For example, the large and thorough annual reports which Pobedonostsev published concerning his work as Director General of the Holy Synod, his letters to the tsars and to leading churchmen in particular, the essays he wrote on religious issues and affairs, and the documents he published provide an immense amount of information concerning the Synod and its operations. None of the Soviet scholars who have had access to the archival materials I was not able to see has thus far produced any information not known to me from other sources, although my understanding of Pobedonostsev’s role in these state institutions would clearly have been enriched by these data.

2. UNPUBLISHED
Manuscript Division, Lenin Library. In his will, Pobedonostsev gave all of the letters he had received, plus many he had written, to the Rumiantsev Museum, now the Manuscript Division of the Lenin Library, which has added to these materials and now contains the largest single collection of source materials concerning him, and indeed concerning many other nineteenth century Russians. Of those which have not been published, the most valuable letters were the 330 he wrote to his closest confidante, Catherine Tiutchev, between 1866 and her death early in 1882. These were particularly important during two of the most critical years, 1880 and 1881, when he wrote her forty-six and sixtynine letters, respectively, some of remarkable candor and detail. A few of these letters were published in Russkii arkhiv, II (1907), 88-102. According to Academician Iurii V. Gotie, he regained 550 letters to her sister, Anna Tiutchev, who became the wife of Ivan Aksakov, but only 31 remain in the Lenin Library.
Other most important letters in this collection were 20 he wrote to Boris Chicherin, a liberal professor whom he first met on the Moscow University faculty, between 1864 and 1903; 71 to Dostoevsky’s widow between 1881 and 1906, when he was executor of her will and her business advisor; 68 to Michael Katkov, the renowned panslav journalist, between 1862 and 1887; 183 between 1876 and 1904 to Olga Novikov, who was usually in London, which are particularly revealing concerning Pobedonostsev’s activities in 1877–78 and his views on international affairs; 39 between 1890 and 1896 to Sergei A. Petrovskii, who was then editor of Grazhdanin; and 5 in 1856 to Mrs. Elizabeth A. Zhukovskii, which are particularly important for a period of Pobedonostsev’s life on which little other information is available. This collection also contains letters from Mrs. Pobedonostsev to Catherine Tiutchev and to Olga Novikov, generally written in French.
Less significant correspondence was directed to Amvrosii, archbishop of Kharkov; Tertii and Sergei Filippov, who were prominent officials and courtiers under Alexander III; Count Dmitrii A. Miliutin, who was Minister of War under Alexander II; Professor Michael P. Pogodin, prominent Moscow historian; Dmitrii F. Samarin, son of the renowned Slavophil, Iurii Samarin; Savva, archbishop of Tver; Prince Alexander V. Shakhovskoi; Professor Sergei M. Soloviev, distinguished Moscow historian and father of Vladimir Soloviev; Count Dmitrii A. Tolstoy, who was Pobedonostsev’s predecessor as Director General of the Holy Synod and Minister of the Interior from 1882 until his death in 1889; and Prince I. I. Vorontsov-Dashkov, who was a high court official under Alexander III.
Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskii Dom). The most valuable of the letters in this collection were one written in 1866 to his sister, Elizabeth, the only letter to a brother or sister which has survived; and others to Ivan Aksakov, most of whose correspondence with Pobedonostsev has disappeared; Constantine A. Gubastov, director of a music school in St. Petersburg; Prince V. P. Meshcherskii, who had introduced him to Dostoevsky but from whom Pobedonostsev broke bitterly; and Sergei I. Zarudnyi, with whom Pobedonostsev had worked on the reform of the Russian judicial system in 1864.
Saltykov-Shchedrin. The manuscript collection of this library contained Pobedonostsev’s letters to fifteen different Russians, but only those to Prince Vladimir Odoevskii were valuable. Unfortunately, the unpublished letters to Ivan Aksakov in this collection were missing. However, twelve letters from Sergei Pobedonostsev to Professor Michael Pogodin, written between 1841 and 1849, were obtainable and were full of interest. According to S. L. Evenchik, Reaktsionnaia deiatel’nost’ Pobedonostseva v 80-kh gg. XIX-go veka (a Moscow University thesis for the Candidate Degree in History, 1939), the manuscript collection of this library then possessed about seven hundred letters to Sergei Rachinskii of especial value on religious and educational matters. These could not be located.
Central State Historical Archive, Leningrad, and Central State Literary Archive, Moscow. The first of these archives contained several valuable letters to Count Peter A. Valuev and the second, five letters to Ivan Aksakov and one hundred to Peter I. Bartenev, editor of Russkii arkhiv, written between 1865 and 1906. The latter I was not able to use.

2. UNPUBLISHED
The Manuscript Division of the Lenin Library contains a large collection of unpublished letters written to Pobedonostsev, as well as hundreds which have been published. The most important of these were the 179 letters from Catherine Tiutchev, written between 1866 and 1882 and reflecting the closest kind of intellectual relationship. There are also six letters from her to Mrs. Pobedonostsev, in French. Other significant correspondence includes eight letters from Captain Nicholas M. Baranov between 1881 and 1888; forty from Count Nicholas P. Ignatiev in 1881 and 1882; eight from Nicholas Giers in the Foreign Ministry between 1877 and 1886; four each from Katkov and Loris-Melikov, and a number from men and women active in the campaign sponsored by Pobedonostsev among the Uniates in Galicia.
This collection also contained almost nine hundred letters from Sergei Rachinskii, written between 1880 and 1902, and forty-nine letters and other materials from Savva, archbishop of Tver.
