Notes on Officer

Brief notes
He was an admiral who replaced Mordvinov on the post of Naval Minister. He realized reconstruction of St.Petersburg's Admiralty by employing an architect of Naval Department A.D.Zakharon for this work. During the Patriotic War of 1812 he commanded the army that acted opposit the South flank of Napoleon's forces. In 1811 he handed over the post of Naval Ministry to admiral marquis de Traverse under which command squadron had never been put to sea farther than Kronschtadt. And so the part of Finnish Bay near the Neva's estuary was ironically named "Marquis's puddle".
