Life
Tengoborski began his professional career in 1812 as a vice-trainee in the Ministry of Finance of the Duchy of Warsaw and then moved to the State Council of the Kingdom of Poland in 1815 . In 1820 he traveled to the Troppau Prince Congress to find out about the financial relations of the Duchy of Warsaw with the assembled states. In 1828 he became the Russian consul general in Danzig and performed important services during the Polish November uprising in 1830/1831 .
In 1832 Tengoborski was appointed Commissioner Plenipotentiary in Vienna to represent the interests of Russia in the negotiations on the future of the Krakow Republic . He then accompanied Franciszek Ksawery Drucki-Lubecki to Paris to liquidate the financial relations between France and the Duchy of Warsaw. In 1845 he conducted negotiations with the Austrian government that led to the Shipping Convention of 1846.
Back in St. Petersburg , he proposed tariff reforms to the government and took part in the deliberations on the new, significantly lower tariffs, which were approved in 1850. In 1848 he became a member of the State Council . He was considered the best expert on Russian and foreign industry, so that he became chairman of the commission for the design of the Russian contribution to the London industrial exhibition in 1851 . In 1851 he became chairman of the customs committee and remained so until his death. On the occasion of the Crimean War he published foreign language brochures and articles in the Paris magazine Nord gegen die Anglo - French politics.
Throughout his varied professional life, he studied in detail the economic and financial problems posed and published his work under the name L. de Tengoborski , as reported in the Morning Chronicle of March 30, 1855. His investigations were based on the exact numerical characterization of the various branches of industry. His goal was the promotion and further development of the Russian economy, whereby it was important for him to achieve a balance between the previously dominant agriculture and the emerging industrial economy.
For his work he received the Golden Constantine Medal of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society as the highest honor .
