Fyodor Alexandrowitsch Golubzow ( WL Borowikowski , after 1806, Krasnoyarsk F. A. Kowalenko Art Museum)

Fyodor Alexandrowitsch Golubzow ( Russian Фёдор Александрович Голубцов ; * December 23, 1758 July / January 3,  1759 greg. , † July 1, July / March 13,  1829 greg. In the village of Wolgowo ( Wolossowo district )) was a Russian state official Finance minister.

Life

Golubzow was the nephew of Alexei Ivanovich Vasilyev , who constantly promoted him. Golubzow completed his training in the artillery and engineer cadet corps and made a career in the state financial administration under his uncle from 1775. When his uncle became the first Russian finance minister in 1802, Golubtsov was appointed state treasurer. In 1805 he married Melanija (Melanie) Ivanovna von Haller (1777-1827). The marriage remained childless.

When Vasilyev died in 1807, Golubzow was not appointed to head the Ministry of Finance, instead of Dmitri Alexandrovich Guryev , who had previously been deputy minister. The constant budget deficits and the additional expenses caused by the Napoleonic Wars , the wars in the east against the Ottoman Empire and Persia and the economic sanctions in the form of the continental lock led to a severe financial crisis. Russian assignats were issued, which led to the decline of the ruble rate. Golubzow usually followed the decisions of the finance committee formed in 1806, which advised on how to control the financial crisis. In 1808 he was appointed Real Secret Council (2nd class ) and a member of the State Council. It was not until 1809 that Golubtsov was formally appointed Minister of Finance.

In November 1809, Alexander I commissioned the mathematician Mikhail Michailowitsch Speranski to develop an immediate program to overcome the financial crisis . A special committee was appointed, in whose deliberations Gurjew and the treasurer Balthasar (III.) Freiherr von Campenhausen participated. The result was the financial plan drawn up by Speranski and Michail Balugjanski at the end of 1809 . With Speranski's help, Guryev succeeded in ousting Golubtsov from office and in January 1810 as finance minister himself. Golubtsov remained a member of the State Council.
