Minister of Justice, Prosecutor General

30.05.1878 - 06.11.1885

Dmitry Nikolaevich Nabokov was born on June 18, 1827 into an old noble family. After graduating from the Imperial School of Law in 1845, he began serving in the 6th Department of the Senate, then received the position of Simbirsk State Attorney. In 1848, he became a colleague of the chairman of the Simbirsk Chamber of Civil Court. Since 1851, Nabokov has served in the central office of the Ministry of Justice: editor and head of department. Two years later he moved to the commissariat department of the Maritime Ministry, where he became vice-director. Soon after this, he is sent “on business” abroad.

In 1860, D.N. Nabokov headed the commissariat department, and two years later Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich, appointed governor of the Kingdom of Poland, took him with him to Warsaw. At the same time, D.N. Nabokov became Chamberlain of the Court of His Imperial Majesty. From 1864 to 1867, Dmitry Nikolaevich was a senator, and then the chief manager of His Imperial Majesty's Own Office for the Affairs of the Kingdom of Poland and the sovereign's secretary of state. Nabokov served in Poland for nine years. In 1867, he was confirmed as a member of the State Council and made valid privy councilors.

On May 30, 1878, D.N. Nabokov was appointed Minister of Justice and Prosecutor General. He was a true supporter of judicial reforms in Russia and one of the best experts on Judicial Charters. They said about him that he was “not a person, but a walking code of laws.” Therefore, not without reason, he was considered a “legalist in the full sense of the word,” although he recognized not so much the letter of the law as its spirit and inner meaning. Dmitry Nikolayevich liked to repeat that “if for all citizens, then for the Minister of Justice in particular, the law, as long as it exists and is not repealed, must be sacred.”
Much was expected from D.N. Nabokov. In the highest spheres of government they hoped that he would be able to give the jury trial a “desirable color.” Others, on the contrary, expected him to defend the fundamental principles of the Judicial Statutes.

Under D.N. Nabokov, two new districts were opened: the Kyiv and Vilna judicial chambers. In 1883, in connection with the transformation of the administration of the Caucasus region, the Minister of Justice was entrusted with the leadership of the Tiflis Court Chamber (opened in 1867).

Dmitry Nikolaevich was attentive to the persons of the judicial department. He was “touchingly proud” when he met with talented judges and prosecutors and willingly listened to their opinions on the most difficult issues. As Prosecutor General D.N. Nabokov, of course, did not remain aloof from the fight against the revolutionary movement that was growing and taking on increasingly harsh forms. On May 25, 1879, he personally supported the prosecution in the Supreme Criminal Court in the case of A.K. Solovyov.

After the assassination of Alexander II on March 1, 1881, D.N. Nabokov, contrary to expectations, retained his previous post. He was actively involved in preparing the trial of the “First Marchers,” and during the hearing of the case, at the behest of the court, he even put pressure on the Chairman of the Special Presence of the Senate, E.Ya. Fuchs.

Under Nabokov, under the influence of circumstances, some changes were made to the newly introduced Judicial Statutes. Glasnost was gradually “expelled” from the courts, and the competence of military courts was expanded. Under the auspices of the Senate, the Supreme Disciplinary Presence was formed to consider cases of dismissal of judges, which many regarded as an attack on their irremovability. At the same time, according to A.F. Koni, “the result of changes and amendments in the great monument of legislation of Alexander II” during this period was insignificant; the minister made only forced concessions. He "sat his time steadfastly and with patient dignity, without sacrificing anything essential."

On November 6, 1885, D.N. Nabokov left the post of Minister of Justice and Prosecutor General, but retained the duties of Secretary of State, member of the State Council and senator. For his long service, Dmitry Nikolaevich was awarded many high awards, including the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called. D.N. Nabokov died on March 15, 1904.

Dmitry Nikolaevich was married to the daughter of Baron F. Korf, Maria Ferdinandovna. From his marriage he had four sons and five daughters. His son, Vladimir Dmitrievich, a famous lawyer and public figure, deputy State Duma, under the Provisional Government he acted as manager of affairs, and after October revolution served as Minister of Justice in the Crimean government; then emigrated. The grandson of D.N. Nabokov, Vladimir Vladimirovich, is a famous writer.

Two years later he joined the commissariat department of the Naval Ministry, taking the position of vice-director. From September 1858 to July 1859 he was on a business trip abroad (in Germany and France), where he studied economics, finance and law.

In 1860, D.N. Nabokov headed the commissariat department, and two years later, Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich, appointed governor of the Kingdom of Poland, took him with him to Warsaw. At the same time, Nabokov became Chamberlain of the Court of His Imperial Majesty. From 1864 to 1867 Nabokov was a senator and then the chief executive of His Imperial Majesty's Own Office for the Affairs of the Kingdom of Poland and Secretary of State. In 1876 he was confirmed as a member of the State Council and received the rank of actual Privy Councilor.

On May 30, 1878, Dmitry Nikolaevich Nabokov took over the post of Minister of Justice and Prosecutor General. Some of his ill-wishers slandered him about this, saying that he received the portfolio of minister “under the patronage of Vera Zasulich,” thereby hinting at the reasons for replacing Count K. I. Palen.

On November 6, 1885, D. N. Nabokov left the post of Minister of Justice, but retained the duties of Secretary of State, member of the State Council and senator. For his many years of service, he was awarded many high awards, including the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called.

D. N. Nabokov died on March 15, 1904; buried at the Nikolskoye cemetery of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra in St. Petersburg.

Much was expected from D.N. Nabokov. In the highest spheres of government they hoped that he would be able to “push” the jury, make major changes in it and generally give them a different, more “desirable color.” Progressive lawyers, on the contrary, expected him to defend the basic principles of the Judicial Statutes. Dmitry Nikolaevich, who became the third Minister of Justice “according to the Judicial Statutes,” according to contemporaries, was “a lawyer in the full sense of the word.” Accepting the high post, he declared that “for all citizens of the empire, and for the Minister of Justice in particular, the law, as long as it exists and is not repealed, must be sacred.” He repeated these words more than once, and they became his original motto. They did not dare to approach Nabokov, for example, for patronage or to petition for any exceptional procedure for resolving a criminal or civil case.

Dmitry Nikolaevich selected employees for the department solely on the basis of business qualities. A year after holding office, for example, he transferred a capable and very hardworking prosecutor, Vyacheslav Konstantinovich Pleve, from the periphery to St. Petersburg. In 1902 he became the Empire's Minister of Internal Affairs.

Dmitry Nikolaevich Nabokov

1827-1904

Statesman. Completed a course at the School of Law; was a friend of the chairman of the Simbirsk chamber of the civil court; Having transferred to service in the Naval Ministry, he was the director of its commissariat department.

In 1864 he was appointed senator, in 1867 - the chief head of His Imperial Majesty's Own Office for the Affairs of the Kingdom of Poland; contributed greatly to the introduction of judicial statutes in 1864.

In 1878 he was appointed Minister of Justice. During the seven-year administration of his ministry, frequently repeated attacks on judicial statutes met on his part, if not a firm rebuff, then moderate opposition; changes in the charters were allowed by the ministry as necessary concessions, but it did not take over their initiatives.

N.'s merit is the law of June 12, 1884, which temporarily ended the campaign against the jury; opponents of this court demanded, if not its abolition, then radical changes in it, and as a result, only the procedure for compiling jury lists changed and the challenge of jurors by the parties was limited.

The law of May 20, 1885 shook the beginning of the irremovability of judges, but to a lesser extent than could be expected under the conditions of the time. In the words of the Vestnik Evropy (see Internal Review in No. 12 for 1885), “he acted like the captain of a ship during a strong storm - he threw part of the cargo overboard to save the rest.”

In November 1885 he was dismissed from his post as Minister of Justice. Its characteristics are given by A.F. Koni in the collection: “Fathers and Sons of Judicial Reform”

"... The old noble family of the Nabokovs descended... from a Tatar prince named Nabok who became Russified 600 years ago... On my father's side we are in various relationships or relationships with the Aksakovs, Shishkovs, Pushchins, Danzas... among my ancestors there are many service people; there are participants in glorious wars strewn with diamond signs, ... there are Minister of Justice Dmitry Nikolaevich Nabokov (my grandfather)..."

“In 1878, Dmitry Nikolaevich was appointed Minister of Justice. One of his merits is the law of June 12, 1884, which temporarily stopped the onslaught on the jury by reactionaries.

When he retired in 1885, Alexander the Third offered him a choice of either the title of count or a monetary reward; the prudent Nabokov chose the second.

In the same year, Vestnik Evropy expressed his activities as follows: “He acted like the captain of a ship during a strong storm - he threw part of the cargo overboard to save the rest.”

Vladimir Nabokov. Other shores

"What did Nabokov do, though?" - they will ask us, perhaps... - “Where are the traces of his creative work? Where are his victories and achievements in the field of the judicial system?”...

To this we can answer that not only in military affairs, but also in civil, seemingly peaceful activities, there are times when there is nothing to think about conquests and conquests... sometimes you have to endure a long and difficult siege...

Nabokov had to endure such a siege during his ministry, and, leaving his post, he had the right to say that he sat out steadfastly and with patient dignity, without sacrificing anything significant, preserving the honor and tranquility of the army at the head of which he was placed."

A. F. Koni

In his youth, Dmitry Nikolaevich was in love with the secular beauty Nina, the wife of General Baron von Korff. In order to communicate freely, the baroness married her fifteen-year-old daughter Maria (1842-1926) to Nabokov.

Dmitry Nikolaevich remained his mother-in-law's lover and performed marital duties towards her daughter.

Her first four children [ Nina (1860), Natalia (1862), Faith(1863) and Dmitriy(1867)] were his.

The remaining five, according to her [Maria Ferdinandovna's] hints to their offspring, had other fathers, since she did not love her elderly husband.

Three - [ Sergey (1868), Vladimir (1870), Konstantin(1872)], including the favorite Vladimir, the father of the writer, allegedly had a certain high-ranking person as their real father (one could understand that this was the Tsar himself - Alexander II).

penultimate child [ Elizabeth(1877)] - it is not clear whose, but the last one was the daughter of a teacher of older children.

It doesn't matter that Nabokov is thus possibly related royal dynasty(he himself never boasted of this and did not admit it), but that this family legend already contains the plot of “Lolita”: the hero of the legend is sexually connected with his mother and her daughter, only here there is a triangle with the opposite sign: the hero did not marry the mother so that to take possession of a minor daughter, and on a young daughter to love her mother unhindered.
