Life

Yuri Stepanowitsch Netschajew belonged to a traditional noble family. His father Stepan Dmitrijewitsch Nechayev (1792-1860) was a high official, chief procurator of the Holy Synod , historian , poet and founder of the first museum of the battle on the Kulikovo Pole .

After attending the First Moscow High School , Nechayev studied law at Moscow University with a degree in 1857. He then worked in the main archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in St. Petersburg , was a translator and interpreter and traveled on diplomatic missions to Berlin , Paris and others European cities.

In 1880 Nechayev took over the inheritance of his uncle Ivan Sergejewitsch Malzow (1807-1880), which included several factories and factories in different parts of Russia . The largest plant was the Gus glassworks on the Gus River in Gus-Khrustalny . With the inheritance he also took the name of his uncle and called himself Nechayev-Malzow. In 1883/1884 he had the interior of his St. Petersburg house redesigned in the Rococo style by the architect Leonti Nikolajewitsch Benois .

In St. Petersburg, Nechayev-Malzow supported the seamen's welfare association , the Nikolaus women's hospital , the brotherhood of St. Sergius , the home for the care and education of poor children , and from 1910 he was curator of the Grand Duchess Ekaterina Mikhailovna School of the Imperial Patriotic Women's Association . For a long time he was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Sisters of the Red Cross , which in 1893 led to the Community of the Sisters of Mercy of Saint Eugenia under the patronage of Duchess Eugenia Maximilianowna von Oldenburg. He became vice president of the community and donated two nursing homes and a nursing home for the Sisters of Mercy, Emperor Alexander III. including medical equipment.

Nechayev-Malzow was vice-president of the Imperial Society for the Promotion of the Arts and supported the magazine Kunstschätze Russlands , whose editors included Alexander Nikolayevich Benois and Adrian Viktorovich Prachow . The main office of the Ministry of Interior for the Northwestern District of the Federation is currently located in his Petersburg house .

1885 Nechayev-Malzow founded in Vladimir the Technical Ivan Sergeyevich Malzow -Hochschule , which was one of the best universities in Europe. During the construction of the Historical Museum in Vladimir, he donated the glass for the museum display cases. In the center of the city named after him Gus-Khrustalny was according to the plan of Alexandre Benois , the great church of St. George built and in the village of Berezovka in Rajon Danków the Church of St. Demetrius of Thessaloniki to commemorate the dead of the Battle of Kulikovo . The churches were painted by Viktor Michailowitsch Wasnezow . For this purpose, the Ivan Sergeyevich Malzov poorhouse was built in Gus-Khrustalny , while in Moscow a poorhouse complex for nobles was built with the help of the architect Roman Ivanovich Klein .

Nechayev-Maltsov's largest foundation was that for the Museum of Fine Arts , today's Pushkin Museum in Moscow, thanks to which the magnificent facade was made possible. He let the stonemasons from Italy come and not only paid the marble and other precious materials, but also for example the copies of the mosaics of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice .

The Museum of the Battle of Kulikowo Pole from his father until the October Revolution was located on Nechayev-Malzows estate in his birthplace Polibino in Dankow district . As guests worked there Leo Tolstoy , Ilya Repin , Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky , Konstantin Korovin , Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov , Viktor Vasnetsov , Ivan Vladimirovich Tsvetaev , Nicholas Benois , Olga Knipper and Anna Akhmatova . The admirable steel lattice tower of the important engineer Vladimir Grigoryevich Shukhov , which Nechayev-Malzov bought as the world's first hyperboloid construction at the All-Russian Industrial and Crafts Exhibition in Nizhny Novgorod in 1896, still stands in Polibino today .

The estate of the childless Nechayev-Malzov fell to his distant relative, Count Pavel Nikolayevich Ignatiev, in 1914, and the works were nationalized in 1918.
