The mystery of the death of Ivan Goremykin

28
“The main real force of the state, whatever its form, is a developed and strengthened self-reliance personality; only the habit of self-government can develop the ability of people to develop themselves; the development of bureaucracy and government care creates only impersonal and disjointed crowds, human dust. ” It is hard to believe that these lines were written by a man who, during the distribution of roles in the tragedy “Russian Revolution,” fell marazmatiruyuschego, surviving from the mind of the decrepitude of the bureaucrat, to all indifferent grandee, with the appearance, as one famous memoirist, “bream ice cream”.

The mystery of the death of Ivan Goremykin




Ivan Logginovich Goremykin (1839 – 1917), without any doubt, was not at all a cartoonist character. The most experienced lawyer, administrator, expert on the “peasant question”, he, at the end of his long career, rose to the highest level of civil service in the Russian Empire: senator, member of the State Council, Secretary of State, Minister of the Interior (1895 – 1899), twice Chairman of the Council of Ministers - in April - July 1906 of the year and from January 1914-th to January 1916-th. In sending Goremykin to resign from the post of prime minister in 1916, Nicholas II granted Ivan Logginovich the rank of a real class I Privilege Counselor, equal to the military rank of Field Marshal. Over the entire existence of class positions in Russia, this was only the 13-e award of such a high distinction.
We will leave behind the line of our narrative an assessment of Goremykin's state activity in his high posts, confining himself to the remark that the majority of our historians have this very low estimate. The focus of our attention will be the short period of life of the ex-premier, which followed the fall of the empire. Survive the tragic year for Russia 1917, our elderly hero was not destined.

The last year of existence of the monarchy, from January 1916-th to February 1917-th, Goremykin, remaining a senator and a member of the State Council, lived, it seems, comfortably. The collapse of the empire made him, Andreev's gentleman and a valid privy councilor, a pathetic prisoner. Among other high ranks of the collapsed regime, Ivan Logginovich, apparently completely demoralized and in a state of deep shock, was taken straight from home to the “ministerial pavilion” of the Tauride Palace, where the Duma was sitting.

A contemporary writes: “... the old bureaucrat has made itself felt in him and in this difficult moment. He came to the State Duma with a pen in his hand; they found him at home writing something at the table, so with a pen, without a cap, in a soldier's overcoat he arrived in a truck in the citadel of the Russian revolution. ” To this picture I would like to make two comments. First, what does “arrived” mean? The old man was arrested, not allowed to get dressed (and cold in Petrograd!), Thrown into a truck and brought to the Duma, clearly against his will. Secondly, the people were still not furious until the end, they gave grandfather an overcoat, and what was under the overcoat? Pajamas?

4 (17) March 1917, the Provisional Government created the “Emergency Investigation Commission to investigate the illegal actions of the former ministers, chief commanders and other senior officials of both civil and military and maritime”. This organization was headed by experienced lawyer Nikolai Muravyov (1870 – 1936), who received the status of a friend (that is, deputy) of the Minister of Justice, who was then Alexander Kerensky.

The masonic democrats who had broken through to power wanted to know: why, in fact, did they overthrow the emperor and put him under arrest of his ministers? In hindsight, it was necessary to find the reasons for the coup. Just say, they did not dig anything. Yes, and you can not say that somehow particularly zealous. Kerensky directly recognized that the facts of espionage of the highest ranks and the empress personally in favor of Germany, failed to find any glaring examples of corruption in the imperial governments of recent years. Even, it would seem, such a “fertile” topic — Rasputinism — didn’t give anything tangible either.



Old Goremykin investigators interested little. It seems that he was interrogated only once - 15 May 1917 of the year. At the same time, Muravyov, who conducted the interrogation of the ex-prime minister, apparently did not understand very well himself that it was possible to impute the blame to that. When Nikolai Konstantinovich, fascinated, suddenly began to read the moral of the old man, Ivan Logginovich, not without malice, asked: “Excuse me generously, is it an interrogation or a lecture?”.

However, most of his answers to the questions of Muravyov look like this: “I find it difficult to answer all these questions, because now I absolutely cannot understand anything and cannot remember.” Or this: “I cannot answer you in all these circumstances, because the memory does not serve me now. So I can't say anything. ” And even simpler: “I don’t remember anything.” This tactic has justified itself. I have no doubt that in some places the former prime minister of the empire was simply cunning and acting: do you want marasmatics? - I'll play you marazmatik. And they let him go.

Goremykin with his wife and eldest daughter went south to Sochi. In the Caucasus, it was warm, calm and comfortable. At first, the family settled on the right bank of the Vereshchaginka river - there was a summer house “Eyrene” (“Mir” in Greek). The trouble came at night on October 22. It was hard to say that some horse bandits, maybe local Bolsheviks, broke into the dacha and waved some kind of paper — allegedly an order from Petrograd — about a search of the former prime minister. They took everything of value, along the way they robbed the owner of the dacha village ... and disappeared into the darkness. By the way, the phone in the country did not work in the morning, which is remarkable. Catch, of course, nobody managed. Yes, and who was catching?

Goremykiny moved to another cottage - in Katkov-Leontievsky tract. There at night 11 (24) of December, according to other data, still 8 of December, they were killed. Ivan Logginovich and Alexandra Ivanovna, his spouse, were strangled. The daughter, also Alexandra Ivanovna, received a bullet wound in the head and soon died in the hospital, her husband, the son-in-law of the former prime minister, lieutenant-general (or colonel?) Ivan Ovchinnikov fought down a bullet in the temple.

The rector of the St. Nicholas Cathedral, the father of the Goremykins, was the father of Yevgeny Ivanovsky (1879 – 1926). During the funeral service, many parishioners lit candles and burned crosses on the doors with their fire ... Alas, there is no longer a temple (a brewery was built in its place), and the Goremykin burial grounds are not preserved.



The Bolsheviks took power in Sochi in January 1918. Now they needed to prove that the brutal murder of the family of the Russian ex-prime minister is not a political reprisal, that this is pure crime. To get to the bottom of the truth in this matter is very difficult. Probably already impossible. There are two options to choose from.

The first. The Bolsheviks went on the trail of an inveterate felon named Moiseenko. During a search, a gold ring with a diamond belonging to the younger Alexander Ivanovna was found in his house. Moiseenko himself then fled, although he was later tracked down and shot during his arrest. It turned out that the Goremykin murder was the work of a gang of a certain Lorchenko, which was ended in September of 1922.

Second. He set out in the book of emigrant Nikolai Voronovich, "Between two fires." Allegedly, the maid of the Goremykin family recognized on the city market the killers of their masters, who sold the stolen goods. The maid made a fuss, and the mob staged a mob and tore at the bandits.
In general, these versions do not exclude one another. It is unlikely that the leaders of the gang, the same Lorchenko and Moiseenko, “glowed” on the market. It is clear that they also took “sixes” for the “wet case” ...

    “The main real power of the state, whatever its form, is a personality developed and strengthened towards independence; only the habit of self-government can develop the ability for self-organization in the people, the development of the bureaucracy and government guardianship creates only impersonal and incoherent crowds, human dust ”


    True ... absolutely true ... hope for help killed a lot of people. Sitting and waiting for a good uncle to help you have nowhere worse ... bring water, repair the ceiling, cook dinner and put everything in his mouth ...
    there is such a category of people who always complains about everything to the state and they don’t hit finger by finger to do something themselves.

    And the Caucasus, where the Goremykin was killed, remains a dangerous place for the Russian-speaking population to this day ...
    in the 90s, the state renounced the Russians and there was a massacre and genocide.
    The habit of trusting in a fair state as a defender cost the people dearly ... there was no one to protect Russian women and children.
    Therefore, in this regard, I have no illusions ... you want to live and survive, be able to rely on your own strengths and yourself and not on the state.

      Lekha, for the umpteenth time I agree with you: in the nineties the “Communists” altogether changed clothes and they didn’t care at all about the Russians. Although most of the leaders at that time had last names were Russian, but the souls of Judah. At that time, 98% of communists - leaders at least somehow, but played in democracy.
      And the Caucasus is traditionally not a calm region. And therefore, we NEED the law on "arms trafficking," in the central provinces there is more order or a semblance of order, and we ...

      Of course, criminality! What was the danger of this particular ex-prime minister? And what a good man he was! Well, who, besides the Bolsheviks, who were not there?

          Just do not focus on the word-Russians. In the case of civil wars, it is inappropriate to focus on nationality, because the very concept of-civil war explains everything. And secondly, the Red Terror was just an answer to the White Terror.

            It is necessary. The killed hostages were Russian generals and officers. They were killed by people without a tribe, for they killed not foreign invaders, but their fellow citizens.

          First. The Bolsheviks went on the trail of an inveterate felon named Moiseenko. During a search in his house they found a golden ring with a diamond, owned by the youngest Alexandra Ivanovna. Moiseenko himself then escaped, although then he was tracked down and shot during his arrest. It turned out that the murder of the Goremykin was the work of a gang of a certain Lorchenko, who was killed in September 1922.
          WHAT IS NOT CLEAR Russophobia anti-Soviet?

        Dima, I would say the paragraph was not formulated very cleverly, but you will come to the Bolsheviks in vain. The author and the hint do not have them

          Glory, read: "The Bolsheviks took power in Sochi in January 1918 .. Now they needed to prove that the brutal murder ......" So how about the Bolsheviks in affftyrya? Why on earth should they prove NOW if the murder was in December? Is it not enough that all over Russia was before they came to power, and they prove that they are not a camel?
          And this distortion of facts is very characteristic of all white-handlers and crystal bakers, not only not very smart, but very vilely lied and drawn out.

    "In the city market, she identified the killers of her owners," in my opinion, Voronovich’s version was pulled "by the ears": it is asked how the maid wasn’t killed or did she "stumble" like your cockroach?
    Most likely it was this: the former Goremykin, maid, Glasha, or something like that, soon after the murder went to the market and accidentally identified the brooches or earrings of the hostess.
    It is curious that the Bolsheviks WANTED to deal with the crime that happened before them "it was before us, which means that we have a smooth bribe"

      That is the TRUTH
      The first. The Bolsheviks went on the trail of an inveterate felon named Moiseenko.

      And everything else, including the "memories" of the emigrants, rumors, gossip, scum verbal.
      So the olgovichs are different, in their repertoire, the affairs of the inveterate criminals, adding up to nothing, ascribes to the Bolsheviks, who of these criminal criminals mercilessly punished .. however, olgovich is nonsense.

    Quote from the article:
    Surviving the tragic year of 1917 for Russia the elderly the hero was not destined.

    It is hard for an old person during a break. Difficult to change landmarks, hard to find your place in the new course of events. They will not be allowed to calmly live out their term during a change of power, when the crime grows wild. For all the burden as well thieves easy prey. 78 years old is now a very respectable age, and in those days an old man in general.

    Olgovich,
    "The collapse, that is, ALL declarations of independence - WERE AFTER October are FACTS, Comrade Russophobe-descendant of Zhilenkov-Yezhov" -decay naturally occurred AFTER October - but NOT due to October. By October, everything had already spread - like a rotten rag. And the Bolsheviks could not in any way keep the regions physically-they were too weak for that ... they were forced to let everyone go ..
    It happened exactly the same way in 1991 - when the republics ran. Yeltsin’s phrase, take it as much as you want, try to make a good face in a bad game - there were no forces to keep the republic ..
    it happened exactly the same in Ukraine in 2014 - they took power, but there are no forces to hold onto the regions. That is why LDNR and Crimea, and it is surprising that no one else fell off ..

    And in 1918, and in 1991, and in 2014 in the backward regions it was sadly for the adherents of the old regime - this is the question of generals
