Life

Marfino Castle

Panin was the youngest son of former Vice Chancellor Count Nikita Petrovich Panin, who had been exiled to Moscow, and his wife Sofja Vladimirovna, niece of Count Grigory Grigoryevich Orlov , who named him after Count Kochubei Viktor. He grew up on the Dugino estate near Sychovka under the control of relatives. His German tutor Bütger trained him so well that he passed the final exam at Moscow University in 1819 . Panin then entered the service of the College of Foreign Affairs. In 1824 he became secretary of the embassy in Madrid . In the Russo-Turkish War (1828–1829) he served in the field chancellery of the Foreign Ministry and was sent to Greece as a business representative after the fighting ended .

In 1831 Panin was assistant to the State Secretary of the State Council and in 1832 Vice Minister of Justice. In 1839 he became managing director of the ministry, in 1840 general procuror and in 1841 minister of justice. He was a conservative advocate of the aristocracy and of his own accord did not change anything in the traditional judicial system with non-public judicial proceedings based solely on the files in accordance with the Inquisition proceedings . He opposed the admission of lawyers to trial and the retention of corporal punishment for non-aristocrats. As a member of the initially secret committee and from 1858 the main committee for peasant affairs , Panin tried to delay the emperor Alexander II's intended liberation of Russian peasants from serfdom . After the death of chairman JI Rostovzew of the drafting committee for the laws on the liberation of the peasants, Panin was appointed as his successor to everyone's surprise in 1860, with the order to continue the work in the previous sense. Accordingly, Panin maintained a strict neutrality between the interests of the landowners and the peasants, so that he was attacked from both sides. In 1861 the “Great Reforms” for peasant liberation were announced. In 1862 Panin resigned his ministerial office due to illness, but remained a member of the State Council and became chief executive of the Second Department of the Imperial Chancellery.

Panin now worked historically and published a number of treatises, for example the brief history of Princess Tarakanova in 1867 .

Natalja Panina-Tiesenhausen ( PN Orlow )

Since 1835 Panin was married to Countess Natalja Pawlowna (1810–1899), daughter of the Real Privy Council and Senator Count Paul von Tiesenhausen and his wife, daughter Count Peter Ludwig von der Pahlens . Natalja's cousin Countess Dorothea von Tiesenhausen (1804–1863), daughter of Ferdinand von Tiesenhausen , married Karl Ludwig von Ficquelmont and became known for her St. Petersburg salon and her friendship with Pushkin , whom she had met in 1829. Natalja was accepted into the Order of Saint Catherine in 1858 and left a diary that is of interest because of the records of Pushkin's duel and death . Natalia and Viktor Panin had a son and four daughters. Olga Viktorovna married the later artillery general Vladimir Vasilyevich Levaschow and ran a liberal salon. Panin's granddaughter was the Red Countess Sofja Vladimirovna Panina .
