Timofei Sawwitsch Morozov ( Russian Тимофей Саввич Морозов * January 1823 in Moscow , † October 10 . Jul / 22. October  1889 greg. In Mishor, Ujesd Yalta ) was a Russian businessman and patron .

Life

Morosow was the youngest son of the originally serf, traditionally believing textile entrepreneur Sawwa Wassiljewitsch Morosow , who had bought himself out of serfdom in 1821 with his sons. Only the youngest son Timofei was born free, so that the father had chosen him as his successor.

In 1857 Morosow started buying land in the Tver Governorate in order to set up a factory there. In 1859 the Tverskaya Manufactory was opened. After he and his older brothers had agreed in 1871 on the division of the paternal inheritance, Morosow converted the family business into the trading house Sawwa Morosow Sohn und Co. with him as the main owner. He devoted himself entirely to the company and also to charity together with his wife Marija Feodorovna, née Simonowa.

Morozov's diverse company with its center in Nikolskoje consisted of 6 main and 9 secondary production sites, which he continuously modernized. This included its own railway line , which branched off from the Moscow- Nizhny Novgorod railway line. This enabled Morosow to mass-produce textiles from cotton processing to the end product. This made the Morosow Manufactory a pioneer in Russia . After the Russian annexation of Khiva and Bukhara , Morozov was one of the first to import cotton from there, overcoming the transport problems. Together with others, Morozov initiated the Moscow department of the Society for the Promotion of Trade and Industry, which was ceremoniously opened in the Polytechnic Museum in 1885 .

Morosow took over public duties since 1868 and held many public offices. 1866-1876 he was a member of the Moscow City Duma . He was repeatedly elected to the Moscow Department of the Trade and Manufacture Council and other advisory bodies. For Moscow entrepreneurs, he advocated protectionist measures in economic policy. He supported the first trade and industry congress in 1870, at which he lectured on the development of cotton cultivation in Central Asia . At the second congress in 1882, he directed work in two (of seven) sections on commerce and mail and telegraphy traffic .

Morozov was close to the Slavophiles and supported their newspaper Moskwa , which was led by Ivan Sergeyevich Aksakov and Ivan Kondratievich Babst .

In order to accelerate the development of national industry, Morozov donated foreign study grants for graduates of the Moscow Technical School , many of which he accepted into his company. He was a member of the Society for the Assistance of Inefficient Students of Moscow University . Morosow was particularly well known for his health care subsidies not only in Russia, but also in the Kingdom of Serbia . He arranged for a hospital to be opened in Belgrade . On his initiative and with his support, a gynecological clinic was opened in Moscow on Dewitschje Pole , and he supported the expansion of two psychiatric clinics in Moscow.

When the Morozov company was on strike in 1885, Morozov retired to his dacha Mishor in the Crimea near Yalta and left the regulation of his estate affairs to his wife Maria Fyodorovna . He was buried in Moscow in the Rogozhskoye Cemetery. In his will , Morosow asked his 10 children to spend 5% of their inheritance on people without possessions. Indeed, his children and wife were patrons and philanthropists . Morozov's second youngest son Sawwa Timofejewitsch took over the manufacture in Nikolskoje. The youngest son Sergei Timofejewitsch organized and directed the Moscow Handicraft Museum and, after emigrating, married Olga Wassiljewna Kriwoscheina (1866–1953), the youngest sister of the politician Alexander Wassiljewitsch Kriwoschein .
