Elagin Orenburg Governor Biography
Emelyan Pugachev led his army to storm the Tatishchev Fortress and took possession of it in the evening. Cossacks-Kostans, heated by the battle and enraged by the stubborn resistance of the defenders, bursting into the fortress, killed her commandant Colonel Elagin and his wife. Their young son and daughter-beautiful widow of the commandant of the Lower Ozer fortress of Major Zakhar Kharlova Pugachev saved from reprisal and took to him.
A month later, in early November, the Cossacks found an opportunity to deal with the younger Elagin and her brother, shooting them at the Berdsk Sloboda near Orenburg. But in the poet-historian documents and memoirs, there were no biographical data about the Elagins, the complete names of the colonel and members of his family were not called. Traveling in September G. in composed G.
such a search was also undertaken by the Yelagin family. The lists of generals and headquarters-officers published by the military collegium were viewed, starting with G., but in the list for G. it was confirmed when applying to the documents of the Orenburg Provincial Chancellery stored in the Central State Archive of the ancient acts of the CGAD.
In the second book of this archival fund, there was a report of the commandant of the rash fortress of the Second Major I. Voilovsky, on September 23, in the same archival book, reports and warrants to Colonel G. Elagin and his own reports, sent by the Orenburg governor General I. I.'s fund-college, were there in the so-called “officers' fairy tales” The track records of Elagin for - GG were identified.
The track record, compiled at the beginning of the city, he joined the service on March 17 in - gg. In the list, compiled in November, the Moscow Legion, included in the Second Army, was relocated to southern Ukraine. Elagin squadrons occupied a post in the Samara Retranshament of the fortress and at the nearby points of the Crimean fortified line along the Samara River the left tributary of the Dnieper and, like other parts of the army, began to prepare for the summer combat campaign to master the Crimea-there was the third year of prolonged Russo-Turkish war.
Elagin himself began to petition for the translation - - to the garrison service. Certificates of this were found in the journal part of the office work of the Military College. Elagin turned to the commander of the second army, General-General of Prince V., he could not resign, since “by littleness of the peasants”, a salary received from the treasury existed from the treasury.
Dolgorukov supported the petition of Elagin and wrote in his report to the military collegium: “Respecting the long -term and immaculate Elagin,” R. Military College, having examined the petition of Elagin and the Dolgorukov report, issued a definition of Elagin’s retirement from the field service “with a rewarding of an immaculate Evo Service”, having provided for his appointment “on the incident” The vacancies in the commandants ”, and before the appearance of such a vacancy“ to have a food ”, to appoint him a service salary“ against the stimulus of the same officers determined by the commandants ”, and to submit a report to the empress about all this.
Catherine II, who approved him. On the same day, she signed a decree on the rewarding of Elagin by the rank of colonel, in accordance with which the Military Collegium ordered the appointment of Elagin - henceforth “before the incident commandant vacancy” - salary in the amount of rubles a year. Elagina for a garrison service in the Orenburg province. At the end of June, the Military Collegium made a definition: to offer five colonels, including Elagin, who were in house vacations and expected official vacancies, to take vacant major offices of fortress commandants in the Orenburg province, warning these persons that in case of refusal they would be deprived of the salary received.
Characterizing his condition, Elagin wrote: “In addition, following the summer of G. concluding a report, Elagin asked him to give him“ for the long way and payments of debts ”all the salary on May 1, the Military Collegium issued the payment of a requested salary, the issuance of run out of the ranks to Orenburg and on the secondment of two soldiers of Pskovsky The garrison who wished to serve in the Orenburg battalion.
Military collegium. The Pskov Oberdaudant General General B. Hirschhead by October 21, reporting the military collegium about the arrival of the colonel, Reinsdorp wrote in a report on February 19 that he was going to determine Elagin in the magnetic fortress, 22 But upon arrival in Orenburg, Elagin was so insufficient that the salary taken in the way for half a year was restrained and then restrained and then Not able to.
" And therefore, Reinsdorp, “in the respect of the plight of Yelagin and seeing,“ that he really cannot get to that magnetic fortress without extreme need, he defeated him to determine him for the same major vacancy by the commandant in Orenburg and no further than 60 miles from Orenburg, the fortress defended by Tatishchev, where Evo and sent. ” A resident of Tatishcheva fortress, the old Cossack Matrena Dekhtyarev, recalling the Pugachevshchina, told Pushkin that the daughter of Colonel Elagin, “was a beauty, chubby and low growth” and that in the spring of G.This officer is mentioned by Pushkin on the pages of the “Pugachev History” and in the novel “The Captain's Daughter”, where Peter Grinev, amazed at the news of the capture of the Lower Ozernaya fortress Pugachev and the death of Kharlov, recalls: “The commandant of the Lower-Ozernary fortress, a quiet and modest young man, was familiar to me: he had been from his young for his young for his young.
The wife and stopped at Ivan Kuzmich "VIII, Zakhar Ivanovich Harlov, as installed according to his track records and other sources, was born in the family of a priest in the city By his origin, he was “Russian, Popov Son”, he joined the military service in the Seven Years War, he participated in campaigns - GG. From that time he served as a cornet, - and then the adjutant of the Third Kiirassier Regiment.
The track records note that Harlov can “read and write literacy, but does not know the flexible sciences” and “he has not been in fines and under trial”; Its officer’s certification is given in the most flattering expressions: “It is adjusted to the title of his title, does not leave for the service, and contains his secondary exposure and teaches military exposure and has thoroughly thoroughly; For the sake of the patients, laziness was not reported, and behaves in all as a regular officer is put on; And as it is tidy for his rank, and no disorder from him, "and therefore he" is worthy of his hard service to increase the rank.
" And in August, Harlov receives the first headquarters officer rank, is made in second-major, and a year later it is transferred to the service in the St. Petersburg Caralian Regiment. Harlov, by decree of the Military Collegium, was awarded the rank of prime minister and transferred to the service in the garrison troops of the Orenburg province, 27 and soon upon arrival there was appointed commandant of the Lower Ozernary fortress.
In September, Colonel Elagin and his wife died in the Tatishchevoy fortress a day later. And a month later, in early November, the Cossacks-Persian Cossacks shot the widow of Major Kharlov and her brother near Orenburg. The circumstances of the deaths of the Elagin and Kharlovs are described in detail in the Pushkin’s “History of Pugachev” IX, 18, 19, 27, 28,, in the studies dedicated to this work, 29 and in the writings of the historians of the Pugachevsky movement, 30 and therefore there is no particular need to turn to these events.
It is necessary to dwell on only one and a very important, in our opinion, moment. Pushkin at the disposal of Pushkin memoirs and documentary sources 31 indicate that the execution of Kharlova nee Elagin and her brother was committed as if from the knowledge of Pugachev and even by his order, that he gave for this forced consent to the real demands of the Yaitsky Cossacks-Personians.
However, there is a protocol record of the testimony of Pugachev himself, who resolutely rejected his involvement in the execution of Kharlova and her brother. And as this - - saw the Yaitsky Cossacks, then they drove under the road and killed her with his brother to death for really that I loved her. As I was told about this after, and I regretted it. ” IX, 27–28, did not know this testimony, since, despite the repeated requests, he could not get access to the protocols of Pugachev interrogations, which were in secret storage.
The protocol of the Yaitsky interrogation of Pugachev was first published in the city of Truth, the Cossack M. Dekhtyareva named the name of her daughter Elagin in the marriage of Kharlova, but her certificate was doubtful due to the fact that she said that the Colonel's daughter was called by Fedorovna's middle name, while her father was Gregory. And only recently in the State Archive of the Orenburg Region did we manage to find documents containing biographical data about the Elagin and Kharlovs, where the genuine names of his wife, daughter and son of Colonel Elagin are named and their age is indicated.
In the affairs of the Orenburg spiritual government, the spiritual paintings of the parishioners of the churches of Orenburg and the Ginyitsky fortresses for the city of murals were compiled by parish priests in the spring, during the “Holy Four -Bench” period within seven weeks of Great Lent and took into account the entire male and female population from “the old baby to the advanced years”, which was in the church for communion.
And confession. In the city in the spiritual painting of the Church of the Archangel Mikhail in the Tatishchev fortress, the painting was compiled by the priest Stefan Simeonov and was sealed with his signature among parishioners: “Colonel and commandant Grigory Mironov Son Elagin” is 53 years old, 35 “Wife Evo Anisya Semenov” 42 years old, “their children: son: son: son of Nicholas, 11 years old.
Tatyana "17 years old; Together with them, their yard people are included in the painting: two men and six women with five children. Interesting and something else. At the time of compiling a spiritual painting, the seventeen -year -old Tatyana Elagina was unmarried and recorded as part of her parents' family. By the way, her future husband, Major Prime Minister Zakhar Ivanovich Harlov, is 42 years old, was included in the spiritual painting of the parishioners of the Church of the Miracle Worker Nikolai in the Lower Ozernaya fortress as unmarried.
