Life
Military career
After school education, the son of Major General Gustav Adolf Ernrot completed a military career during which he graduated from the St. Petersburg Military Academy as a lieutenant from 1852 to 1855 . In the following three years he played as major a major role in the suppression of the resistance of Chechen and Avar revolutionaries to Imam Shamil . At the end of the fighting, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel on September 11, 1859 .
Subsequently, he rose within the Russian army on September 7, 1862 to colonel and took part in the fighting against the Polish insurgents . After his promotion to major general in 1868, he took part in the liberation struggles of Bulgaria against the Ottoman occupation forces during the Russo-Ottoman War from 1877 to 1878 as commander of infantry divisions . He later rose to lieutenant general on November 3, 1878 .
Prime Minister 1881 and later offices
After Bulgaria's (limited) independence from the Ottoman Empire on July 8, 1879, he was sent by Russia to Bulgaria to represent Russian interests towards Prince Alexander I. On April 17, 1880 he was appointed Minister of War by Dragan Kiriakow Zankow . He held this office until July 13, 1881 and was thus de facto the strong man of the governments of that time.
On May 9, 1881 he was finally appointed Prime Minister himself , when Prince Alexander I tried to achieve absolute rule over Bulgaria. Ernrot was one of the prince's strongest supporters during this time. At the same time he took over the office of Interior Minister during his tenure . However, he had to resign on July 13, when the prince's takeover threatened to fail. This was followed by a power vacuum that was bridged by the prince's sole reign for almost a year.
After losing power, he returned to Russia, where he represented Finland's interests at the Russian court from 1888 to April 1891 as the so-called Minister-State Secretary for Finnish Affairs . However, during this time he had to accept an increasing Russification of Finland.
He then withdrew from political life and later died of a stroke .
