Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PRINCE GORCHAKOV, ALEXANDER MIKHAILOVICH (17981883) , Russian statesman,
cousin
  of Princes Petr and Mikhail Gorchakov, was born on the 16th of July 5798, and was educated at the lyceum of Tsarskoye Selo, where he had the poet Pushkin as a school-fellow. He became a good classical scholar, and learnt to speak and write in French with facility and elegance. Pushkin in one of his poems described
young
  Gorchakov as " Fortune's favoured son," and predicted his success. On leaving the lyceum Gorchakov entered the foreign office under Count Nesselrode. His first diplomatic
work
  of importance was the negotiation of a
marriage
  between the grand duchess Olga and the crown prince Charles of Wurttemberg. He remained at
Stuttgart
  for some years as Russian minister and confidential adviser of the crown princess. He foretold the outbreak of the revolutionary spirit in Germany and Austria, and was credited with counselling the abdication of Ferdinand in favour of Francis Joseph. When the German confederation was re-established in 185o in place of the parliament of Frankfort, Gorchakov was appointed Russian minister to the diet. It was here that he first met Prince Bismarck, with whom he formed a friendship which was after-wards renewed at St
Petersburg
 . The emperor Nicholas found that his
ambassador
  at Vienna, Baron Meyendorff, was not a sympathetic
instrument
  for carrying out his schemes in the
East
 . He therefore transferred Gorchakov to Vienna, where the latter remained through the
critical
  period of the Crimean War.
The DIVISION has an area of 9534 sq. m. The population in 1901 was 6,333,012, giving an average density of 664 persons per sq. m., being more than one to every acre, and the highest for any large tract in India.
