Vladimir Andreyevich Glinka ( Russian Владимир Андреевич Глинка ; December 4 jul. / 15. December  1790 greg. In Ujesd Duchowschtschina , † January 19 jul. / 31 January  1862 greg. In St. Petersburg ) was a Russian General of Artillery and head of the mining operations of the Urals .

Life

Glinka's parents were Podporutschik of Preobrazhentsi Life Guards regiment decommissioned Andrei Ilyich Glinka and the Baroness Charlotta Platen. As the youngest of five children, he could not hope for an adequate inheritance. Thanks to his birth, a military career was open to him. He graduated from the 1st Cadet Corps in St. Petersburg , which released him in 1806 into the Leib-Guard-Artillery Battalion .

During the Fourth Coalition War , Glinka took part as Podporutschik in 1807 in the battles near Guttstadt , Heilsberg and Friedland . During the Russo-Swedish War (1808-1809) Glinka was part of the coastal defense of the Gulf of Finland . In the Russo-Turkish War (1806-1812) he was involved in the capture of Nikopol . During the Franco-Russian War in 1812 and the subsequent campaigns against Napoleon , Glinka commanded a company of mounted artillery . He marched with the army through Poland , Silesia and Saxony , but no longer took part in the battle of Waterloo .

After the end of the war, Glinka served as a Podpolkownik in Poltava . There he married Uljana Gawrilovna Vishnewska, the sister of the Decembrist Fyodor Gawrilowitsch Vishnevsky , who brought an estate with 100 serf farmers in the Poltava governorate into the marriage as a dowry . The marriage remained childless.

In 1837 Glinka became head manager of the mining operations in the Urals in Yekaterinburg and thus absolute ruler in this area. This was followed by the appointment to lieutenant general . Under his leadership, a general plan for the construction and development of the Ural region was drawn up. The first engineering factory was established in Yekaterinburg . A first municipal bank, a mining school, a theater and a first high school were opened. In 1851 the Ural mining companies founded the Glinka grant for the Demidow Lyceum (now Yaroslavl State University ). The right to appoint Glinka scholarship holders was granted to Glinka and his descendants in 1859 by the Supreme Order. In 1852 Glinka became general of the artillery and vice-president of the Ekaterinburg committee for prison supervision.

In 1856 Glinka became a senator and in 1857 a member of the military council. In 1860 he was released on indefinite leave at his own request. As a senator, he was no longer required to be present.

The mineral group olivine , which occurs south of Syssert , is named after Glinka Glinkit .
