Life

Andreas came from the German Baltic , Lutheran noble family von Rosen.

The father, landowner Baron Eugène Oktave Auguste von Rosen (May 24, 1759 to January 24, 1834), who previously worked at the Reval Court , had Andreas' house in Mehntack built in 1796. Eugène's marriage to Andreas' mother, Baroness Barbara Helene Staël von Holstein (May 14, 1768 to March 18, 1826) had ten children.

From 1812 Andreas attended the elementary school in Narva . In 1815 he entered the St. Petersburg 1st cadet school for young nobles, graduated as an ensign and from April 20, 1818 served in the Finnish bodyguard regiment . On August 7, 1823 he became a lieutenant there . From 1822 he was adjutant to the regimental commander Vasily Shenschin.

Andreas von Rosen married Anna Wassiljewna on April 19, 1825 . Although he did not belong to the Decabrist secret society, he was on site with his first platoon of Finnish guardsmen during the uprising on December 14, 1825 on the St. Petersburg Senate Square . The uprising failed because - according to Andreas von Rosen's experience - no leader led the company. The following day, Andreas von Rosen was arrested and imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress on January 5, 1826 . On July 10th, he was sentenced to ten years of forced labor. The sentence was reduced to six years on August 22nd. On February 5, 1827, he was sent to Siberia and arrived at Ostrog Chita on March 22nd . In the summer of 1830 he had to march into the Katorga Peter hut . He was released from this penitentiary on July 11, 1832 and forcibly resettled in the Tobolsk Governorate in Kurgan .

On September 19, he arrived with his wife and sons Kondrati (* September 5, 1831) and Vasili (* August 29, 1832) in the city. The couple bought a house with an orchard and went into horticulture. In 1837 the Tsarevich Alexander (from 1855: Alexander II. ) Visited the von Rosen family in their Kurgan house with Vasily Schukowski in their entourage. That same year, Andreas von Rosen had from November 10 in 16 Mingrelian Grenadier regiment Tbilisi in the Caucasus war prove. In January 1838 he was transferred to the 3rd Caucasian Line Battalion Pyatigorsk . On January 14, 1839, he was discharged from military service due to illness and was allowed to live under police supervision in his old Estonian homeland - with his brother near Narva. Andreas von Rosen closes his memories with the report on this “return to the cultural world”.

In 1855 he was allowed to move to his eldest son Eugène (born June 19, 1826) in the Isjum district in the Kharkov governorate. Andreas von Rosen founded a farmer's bank and an agricultural school there, where he taught himself. With the amnesty of August 26, 1856, Alexander II reinstated him in his old rights. After 1861 he worked on the Okino estate as Mirowoi posrednik - in German, he settled disputes between landowners and farmers.

Works

memories

His memoirs From the memoirs of a Russian Decembrist , which - as indicated above - go back to 1839 and were published in Leipzig in 1869 in German, the German Andreas von Rosen had written down in Russian as a foreign language. In the same year an English translation appeared. The St. Petersburg edition of 1870 was banned by Russian censors . Only selected parts of the text were permitted to be printed. Although Nikolai Nekrassow , Leo Tolstoy and Nikolai Leskow paid a lot of attention in the 1860s , there was no lack of critical comments on the text statement at the time - especially from the ranks of surviving Decembrists.

It was not until 1984 that the complete Russian-language work appeared in Irkutsk .
