Portrait of V. A. Perovsky in the Spanish costume of the XVII century by Orest Kiprensky

Portrait of V. A. Perovsky in the Spanish costume of the XVII century by Orest Kiprensky

On the portrait – Earl Vasily Alekseevich Perovski in the age of 15 years. VA Perovsky was the illegitimate son of Count Alexei Razumovsky, the brother of writer Alexei Perovsky.

After graduating from the course at Moscow University, he entered the 1811 colonnade in the retinue of His Majesty; in 1812, when retreating to Moscow after the battle of Borodino, was captured, in which he was before the capture of allies of Paris; in the Turkish war of 1828 was severely wounded and forced to abandon the combat service; in 1833 he was appointed Orenburg military governor and commander of a separate Orenburg corps. Having taken this post, he led the steppe nomads to obedience, but the campaign he undertook in 1839 to Khiva ended unsuccessfully.

In 1842, Perovsky left management of the Orenburg region, but in 1851 he was again called to him and retained it until 1856. At that time, the measures he had previously planned were carried out: in the steppe, numerous fortifications were built, the Aral Sea was investigated and a steamship message was established on it, the Ak-mosque was taken by storm Kokand fortress and was concluded in 1854 with the Khiva khan, an advantageous treaty for Russia. In 1855, Perovskiy was elevated to the Count’s dignity.
