Abstract

At the center of this study lies an unusual historical phenomenon—a close friendship that linked at the beginning of the 19th century the russian autocrat, emperor Alexander i and the professor of the Dorpat university, George Friedrich Parrot. evidence of this friendship is kept in their correspondence, amounting to more than 200 letters. this archival complex of documents had a difficult fate, which in many respects prevented its timely introduction into the scientific use. Meanwhile, these letters not only tell how the personal relations between Parrot and Alexander i developed, but also show the degree of influence that the professor wanted to exert on state affairs, especially in the field of public education, through his advice and conversations with the Emperor. Parrot himself quite unselfishly tried to direct his influence on strengthening the principles of liberal reforms in the russian empire. However, in practice, the implementation of his advice ran into a number of obstacles, one of which was Alexander’s constant inclination to compromise, and it was not as great as Parrot himself would have liked.
G.F.Parrot与亚历山大一世皇帝:二十年的书信往来及其个人和政治方面
这项研究的核心是一个不同寻常的历史现象——19世纪初,俄罗斯独裁者亚历山大一世皇帝和多尔帕特大学教授乔治·弗里德里希·帕罗之间的亲密友谊。这种友谊的证据保存在他们的信件中,总计200多封。这种复杂的档案文献命运艰难,在许多方面阻碍了它及时被引入科学用途。同时,这些信件不仅讲述了帕罗特和亚历山大一世之间的私人关系是如何发展的,还表明了这位教授希望通过与皇帝的建议和对话,对国家事务,特别是公共教育领域施加影响的程度。帕罗特本人非常无私地试图将自己的影响力引导到加强俄罗斯帝国自由主义改革的原则上。然而,在实践中,他的建议的实施遇到了许多障碍,其中之一是亚历山大不断倾向于妥协,而且这并不像帕罗特本人所希望的那样伟大。
