. In 1858, Mr.. Valuev was appointed director of the 2 nd Department of the Ministry of State Property, and then Secretary of State. Without losing the sympathy of the Liberal Party, he managed to please her and the nearest commander, reactionary and feudal Muravyov. Ants are often placed on Valuev drawing objection to the draft which drew up the editorial committees; Valuev in his own words was "the pen of the opposition" - that is, opposition to the liberation of the peasants. January 7, 1861, Mr.. Valuev was appointed manager of the affairs of the Committee of Ministers, and on April 23 that same year at the head of the Ministry of Interior instead of Lansky, who have spent the peasant reform and ousted the feudal intrigue, with Muravyov headed. But the situation Muraveva about this time was badly shaken, and Valuev quickly changed his. In 1863, Mr..

This was a draft constitution to the connection bureaucratic autocracy. Note did not have any effect. Valuev when he was Minister of the Interior conducted two major reforms: Zemstvo 1864. and censor 1865. Both reforms were piecemeal in nature, and yet immediately after the elections he Valuev began to struggle as a council, defending the prerogatives of the administration, and printing.

The immediate cause to be failure to take action to combat hunger. Being a member of the State Council, Valuev, however, was still in sight. In 1872, Mr.. was appointed Minister of State Property. In this position Valuev brought the situation of agriculture in Russia and became the head of the so-called Valuev Commission, the purpose of his study. The Commission has issued several volumes of works, but had no practical results.

Valuev was appointed chairman of the Committee of Ministers and also the office's chief of His Majesty's acceptance of petitions. In 1879, Mr.. Valuev again Alexander II gave his constitutional draft in 1863, but this time without any positive results. February 19, 1880, Mr.. Valuev bestowed dignity Count. Until then Valuev as chairman of the Committee of Ministers enjoyed considerable influence, but the rise of Count Loris-Melikov, his strong enemy, put an end to the influence. Besides audit Senator M.E. Kovalevsky discovered the abuse when distributing the Bashkir lands Ufa province; himself Valuev remained not suspected of malicious purposes, but as a minister he was responsible for the actions of their subordinates. October 4, 1881, Mr.. Valuev has resigned from the post of chairman of the Committee of Ministers, but retained his seat in the Council of State. This state activity Valuev ended. Received an unexpected free time, Valuev engaged in literary activity, which was not a stranger before.

Artistic talent Valuev is very small, but it does have some powers of observation and some satirical vein, and his stories are interesting in an extremely negative attitude to the high society milieu in which life revolved Valuev. In addition, Valuev has placed in the "News of Europe" (1888, N 3) the article "Religious unrest and persecution from V to XVII century.". He still belongs to "a collection of brief reverential readings on all days of the year". Some of his works of religious content were banned spiritual censorship, as close to Protestantism. The most important of literary works Valuev - his diary, which he led from a very early time, almost to death. Printed in "Russian Antiquities" 1891. of the diary relating to the 1847 - 60 years., in the Journal of Europe "1907. - By 1880, in the collection of the past "(St. Petersburg, 1908) - to 1881 - 84 years. Diary is very valuable as historical material. Valuev finds here a critical mind, strongly condemns the activities of the government for a very, very much, and, moreover, just for being what he himself was guilty of very great extent - for restraint of thought, bureaucracy, excessive centralization, and t. n. In 1879, t. e. when he was chairman of the Committee of Ministers, Valuev, wrote in his diary: "I do not see the Government's mind, though, and I see pravitelstvovanie. I think that still in pieces and crush all collapses, and I am powerless to collapse and the collapse Disrupts. All the same feeling: I see what others did not seem to see ". In 1881, Mr.. He wrote: "It's a pity our government Pharisees, even the most intelligent, as Abaza and Solsky". "One feels that the soil zybletsya, building threatens to fall, but the townsfolk did not seem to notice this - and hosts a vague smell a rat, but the secret internal anxiety".

( "Past", 1906, N 12); "Count of Valois on the situation in Russia in 1882" ( "Last years", 1908, N 10). On the graph Valuev as a religious writer cm. special sketch in the book: A priest N.R.
