Pyotr Andreyevich Slowzow ( Russian Пётр Андреевич Словцов * 1767 in Nizhne-Sussanski Zavod, Province Tobolsk , † March 28 jul. / 9. April  1843 greg. In Tobolsk) was a Russian historian of Siberia and poet .

Life

Slowtsov's ancestors came to Siberia from Ujesd Veliky Ustyug in the 17th century . After the death of his father, who was a priest of the Nizhne-Sussanski Zavod iron and steel works, Slovtsov attended the Tobolsk Spiritual Seminary from 1780–1788 at state expense. Because of his special skills, he was then sent to St. Petersburg to study at the St. Petersburg Spiritual Academy , where Michail Michailowitsch Speranski and Iwan Iwanowitsch Martynow also studied. Slowzow was interested in European philosophy of the 18th century and became literary.

1792 Slowzow became a teacher of philosophy and rhetoric at the Tobolsk seminary. After reading a sermon on the wedding of the future heir to the throne Alexander I in November 1793 in the Cathedral of St. Sophia in Tobolsk , he was arrested, taken to St. Petersburg and finally sent to the Valaam monastery in Lake Ladoga to reform . In 1795 he returned to St. Petersburg as a teacher of rhetoric, but remained under police supervision. In 1797 he entered the civil service in St. Petersburg. His ode on Siberia, written in Tobolsk, appeared anonymously in 1796 in the journal Musa published by Martynov . The ode of matter followed as an attempt to present physical truths in verse . During this time he wrote his poem about a Chinese in St. Petersburg with a description of cultural life in St. Petersburg, which appeared in the St. Petersburg magazine Pantheon of Russian Poetry in 1814 . Slowzow's poems are scattered in manuscript collections that have not yet been evaluated.

In 1808, Slovtsov was arrested again on false charges and exiled to Siberia. In 1814 he came to Irkutsk . In January 1815 he was appointed judge there. From June 1815 to 1820, Slowtsov was the director of the grammar school and schools in Irkutsk. In July 1815 he led an expedition to determine places for new settlements on the way from Yakutsk to Nizhneudinsk on the Angara . In 1821 Slowtsov became inspector of the Siberian schools. Thanks to Speranski's participation, Slovtsov received a pension in 1829 so that he could retire in Tobolsk.

Slozow worked in Siberia as a historian and local researcher and published a number of works on the history of Siberia, especially the Irkutsk Governorate , and on trade with China . The first part of his major work on the history of Siberia in the period from 1588 to 1742 appeared in 1838. The second part on Siberia up to 1823 was published in 1844 after his death.
