(1773 - 1844). Enrolled under Catherine II in the pages, Golitsyn since childhood had access to the court, where a valued member of children's games like the Grand Dukes - Alexander and Constantine, and then - as witty and clever gentleman. When Paul was expelled from St. Petersburg. The service begins his career at Alexander. Appointed first Chief Prosecutor I Department of the Senate, Golitsyn in 1803, at the urging of Alexander, assumed the post of Procurator of the Holy Synod. In 1810, Mr.. Golitsyn is, while maintaining the previous post, chief manager of foreign confessions, in 1816, Mr.. - Minister of Education. Once in 1817, Mr.. Minister of Religious Affairs and of Education were merged into one ministry, Golitsyn was headed last, but was dismissed as chief prosecutor.

In 1843, Mr.. Golitsyn left in the Crimea, where he died. Golitsyn - one of the brightest figures of Alexander's reign. In his younger years Golitsyn - typical libertine Catherine's era, with a cheerful frivolity relating to religious issues and enjoy life preferring social activities.

In the structure of educational institutions and to teaching were made very significant changes. The same trend holds for the Golitsyn to literature, in extreme censorship captious. Sam Golitsyn was a man of very good-natured, but when it gained access to important posts in various career seekers, like the famous Magnitsky, and they were driven to extreme reactionary trend in the Ministry. Golitsyn fell because, . that he himself was not strong in piety: this suspicion tried to convince the enemies of Alexander Golitsyn, . representatives then formed a new church and reactionary party (especially Archimandrite Photius), . Recalling his nasty Orthodox mysticism,
