Biography
Born in the family of chamberlain Alexander Lvovich Naryshkin and Maria Alekseevna Senyavina . He received a good upbringing in the Jesuit guesthouse of Abbot Nicolas . In 1805, with the rank of junk chamber, he went to China as part of the emergency embassy , at the head of which was the close relative of the Naryshkin ober-ceremonies, Master Yu. A. Golovkin . Regarding this trip, M. S. Vorontsov wrote [1] :
| Kiryusha is among them, and I am glad that he is going; because maybe he’ll do something and get out of it, but here he indulges and spends his time in complete idleness. |
Returning to Petersburg, he made his entire subsequent career at court. He was considered at one time one of the most brilliant representatives of the young court party, being the legislator of the latest trends and the highest tone in St. Petersburg society. Another participant in the Golovkin embassy, F.F. Vigel , recalled [2] :
| Kirill Aleksandrovich ... was remarkable for the fact that two opposing characters of his parents merged and mixed in him: he combined Naryshkin’s nobility, luxury and even playfulness with his strong temper, noble feelings, frugality and aristocratic pride of his mother Marya Alekseevna. |
By 1815, Naryshkin had the rank of full state adviser and the court rank of chamberlain , and was granted the orders of St. Anne of the 2nd degree and St. John of Jerusalem [3] .
Being the marshal of the court of the Grand Duke Nikolai Pavlovich , Naryshkin in 1817 fell into disgrace. Empress Alexandra Fedorovna recalled [4] :
| Our Marshal K.A. Naryshkin made troubles every minute to my husband: for the slightest joke, he was angry that he turned green, turned yellow from anger. In addition, he tried more than once to make inappropriate remarks to the Grand Duke, even on my account. The man is extremely bile, sometimes he fell into snake anger; everyone hated him and retreated as he approached ... It was unbearable to have a person in such a small circle who was constantly talking next to himself, talking with malicious intent, and although many took part in it, I had enough character to put on my own and to ensure that he left this place ... Naryshkin left our Yard, and Count Moden was appointed in his place. |
As of 1821, Naryshkin was the vice-president of the Court Office and managing it, had the rank of hoffmarshal , and was awarded the Order of St. Anna of the 1st degree [5] .
Since 1822 he was an honorary member of the Academy of Arts . In 1825, Naryshkin was among the few people who knew in advance about the abdication of Konstantin Pavlovich . The writer V. A. Sollogub recalled Naryshkin [6] :
| A nobleman of a big hand, a gentleman's appearance, remarkable and witty to the extreme in intelligence and wit. His wife was a painful woman, but very pretty and respected by everyone. |
After the accession of Nicholas I to the throne, Naryshkin was in opposition. In 1826, he left Russia with his family and spent some time due to illness abroad. In Paris, he led an idle life and was introduced to the court of Louis Philippe I. After returning, Naryshkin in 1829 was appointed president of the Court Office and was granted the rank of Chief Marshal [7] .
Having inherited from his father, despite the broad life of the latter, a great fortune, Naryshkin lived not luxuriously, but merrily. He spent the winter in the Winter Palace in the Ober Hoffmarshall's apartment, summer on the shore of the Gulf of Finland in his cottage Sergievka , which was surrounded by a huge garden. He opened this garden to the public and hung an invitation plate at the entrance.
In 1834 he was appointed a member of the Council of State [8] . In 1837, he was dismissed from the post of president of the Court Office, renamed into Chief Ombudsman [9] while retaining the status of a member of the State Council and sent on vacation [10] . In this regard, Naryshkin lost his apartment in the palace and maintenance. Not wanting to live in St. Petersburg anymore, he left for his Crimean estate, where he soon died on October 25, 1838. In the last years of his life he was awarded the orders of St. Alexander Nevsky with diamonds [7] and St. Vladimir of the 2nd [7] and 1st [8] degrees.
According to Baron M. Korf , “with a sharp and sarcastic mind, especially poisonous in ridicule, he did not, however, have any essentially good qualities. Arrogance, unbridled temper and even an admixture of anger formed the basis of his character. The death of Naryshkin came from a frustrated imagination. He had a valet, a Frenchman, who had been with him for more than 20 years. Having traveled to Odessa on the affairs of his master, he returned to the Crimea not quite healthy and, seizing the Crimean fever immediately upon his return, died five hours later. His death had such an effect on Naryshkin that he fell into complete despondency and indulged in piety, spending the whole day praying and reading the holy books. One day after lunch, returning from a walk, he asked what time is it? And to the answer that “six”, he asked again: “mornings or evenings?” When he was enlightened that evening, he said that he wouldn’t see him at six o’clock in the morning, then he asked the cross in great emotional excitement, kissed him and went to bed . Then in the morning, at about five, he woke up and, without almost any suffering, half an hour later fell asleep again, but already in a deep sleep ” [11] . He was buried in the Spiritual Church of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra [12] .
