Life

Kamenski came from a serf peasant family. Together with his older brother Fyodor Kosmitsch Kamensky , he set up a freight transport company in Perm. In 1857 the capital they had acquired enabled them to buy themselves out of serfdom with the whole family.

In 1859 the brothers built their first steam tug . With the substantial profits, they built more steamships, granted loans and funded charities. They bought a building in Perm, converted it and made it available to the girls' school in 1860. The school later became the girls' high school, and they remained curators for their entire lives. In 1862 they donated 8,000 rubles for the construction of the Church of the Resurrection in memory of Alexander II's peasant liberation in 1861. In 1865 they founded the Brothers Kamenski Steamship Company . They named the 4 ships for passenger traffic between Perm and Nizhny Novgorod after their sons Ioann , Michail, Alexander and Vasili. They used part of the profits to build a church at the transit prison, which opened in 1873. In 1871 they founded the trading company steam shipping and goods transport brothers F. and G. Kamenski . In 1874 they opened a factory for the production of iron goods and the construction and repair of ships.

In 1879 the Kamenski brothers bought a building for the establishment of a municipal poor house with a makeshift church in the side wing. In 1880 Grigori Kamenski became an honorary member of the governorate board of trustees for children's homes, and in 1882 the brothers bought a building for a children's home. In 1885, with funds from Grigori Kamenski's son Alexander, a stone building for the poor house with a church was built. The brothers made generous donations for the construction and maintenance of a women's convent , which was later supported by their children. In 1886 Grigory Kamensky became an honorary citizen of Perm. In 1887 he donated 1000 rubles for the construction of the children's home church. In 1891 and 1892 Grigori Kamenski was the curator of the poor house.

In 1897 Grigori Kamenski's son Alexander donated the Grigori Kamenski scholarship to the Perm Realschule.
