Admiralty Collegium. Excerpt characterizing the Admiralty Board

One of the first naval institutions in Russia. Formed by decree of Peter I on December 12, 1717, together with other boards that replaced the previous Moscow Orders. Objectives: “The Admiralty Board has the upper directorate over people, buildings and other matters subject to the Admiralty.” The board was composed of advisers - flag officers and captain-commanders ("These members of the Board are usually selected from the old or crippled, who are not very suitable for military service"). The president of the board was Admiral General Count F.M. Apraksin, vice-president - Vice Admiral K.I. Kruys, members - Ober-Ster-Kriegs-Commissar Major General G.P. Chernyshev, who was in charge of the entire economic part of the maritime department, and several flagships. Cases were decided collectively. The meetings began on April 4, 1718. She dealt with issues of construction, armament, supply and financing of the fleet, construction and equipment of ports, shipyards, linen and rope factories, manning, was in charge of naval education, hydrography and pilotage support for navigation, organization and equipment sea expeditions. According to the legislation of Peter I on forests, the board was also entrusted with forest management, for which the post of Chief Waldmeister was established. According to the states in 1724, it had executive bodies (offices, offices and boards): naval, admiralty, chief sarvaer (shipbuilding), provisions, counting, forestry (waldmeister), uniform, audit, treasury, contracting, controller. With the establishment in 1726 of the “Supreme Privy Council”, together with the boards of Foreign Affairs and the Military, it came under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Privy Council from subordination to the Senate. Based on the proposals of the commission chaired by Count Osterman, Empress Anna Ioannovna in 1732 reorganized the Admiralty Board. Now it included President Admiral P.I. Sievers, four permanent members and two advisors. The board consisted of a prosecutor, a chief fiscal to supervise the actions of the economic unit, an executor and an office headed by a chief secretary. Instead of offices and offices, four expeditions were formed: the Commissariat, which was in charge of shipyards and buildings, the Quartermaster, which replaced the Admiralty office, the Crew, and the Artillery. The expeditions were managed by members of the board, called: General-Kriegs-Commissar. quartermaster general, crew chief general, chief guard. Of the board's advisers, one was in charge of the Naval Guard Academy and schools, the other was in charge of factories. During the reign of Empress Catherine II in 1763, a new regulation was introduced on the Admiralty Board, which now had a chairman, Admiral General (heir to the throne, Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich), vice-president, Count I.G. Chernyshev and five members. At the discretion of the board itself, two flagships could also be included in its composition. The management of the naval department was reduced to five expeditions: Commissariat, Quartermaster over shipyards and buildings, Artillery, Treasury, Accounting, which were headed by members of the board. The transformations were carried out at the proposal of the “Maritime Russian Fleets and Admiralty Board of the Commission to bring this noble part of the defense of the state into a real permanent good order” formed on November 17, chaired by Vice Admiral S.I. Mordvinova. During the reforms of Emperor Alexander I on the formation of ministries, it was annexed in 1802 to the Ministry of Naval Forces, with the duties of chairman assigned to the minister. Members of the board were supposed to appoint from 4 to 6 flagships, of which two were alternately replaced annually on the proposal of the minister. Now the responsibilities of the Admiralty Board included: maintaining the fleet, manning personnel, supplying provisions, uniforms and allowances, building, arming and supplying ships with everything necessary for sailing, and directing the actions of the fleet. In relation to the Black Sea Fleet, the board was given the right to consider only those cases that were transferred to it personally by the minister. Five expeditions were created as executive bodies: the Economic expedition, headed by the General Kriegs Commissioner, was in charge of the procurement and storage of all types of supplies for the fleet and ports; The executive, under the leadership of the quartermaster general, dealt with personnel, shipbuilding, distribution of material resources and the correctness of their expenditure; Artillery under the command of the master general; Treasury, headed by the treasurer general; The accounting department, which was headed by the controller general, controlled reporting in finance and material resources. In the process of reorganization of the naval administration, it was abolished on January 1, 1828. The presidents and chairmen of the Admiralty Board were: Admiral General Count F.M. Apraksin (1718-1728), Admiral P.I. Sievers (1728-1730), Admiral General Prince M.M. Golitsyn (1750-1762), Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich (1762-1796), Field Marshal General of the Navy I.G. Chernyshev (1796-1797), position vacant in 1797-1798, Admiral I. L. Golenishchev-Kutuzov (1798-1802), Admiral P.V. Chichagov (1802-1809), Admiral Marquis I.I. de Traversay (1809-1827).

College education

The college was formed during the reform of central government bodies by decree of Peter I of December 11 (22), 1717, among the first 9 colleges. According to the decree, it was the main governing body of the Navy. The functions of several pre-existing naval organizations were transferred to the board:

Moscow Admiralty Chancellery (formerly the Admiralty Prikaz, dealt with economic and financial issues)
Military Marine Office (dealt with personnel issues)
Naval Commissariat (in charge of Admiralty revenues, distribution of salaries and provisions to naval ranks, release of money for shipbuilding needs and purchase of ship supplies, carried out trials of naval ranks)
several offices and offices: Crew, Provisions, Uniform, Ober-Sarvaer, Forestry, Accounting.

The main working body of the collegium was the Chancellery. Since 1723, all structural divisions of the college began to bear the names of offices:

Admiralty (management of shipyards, warehouses, supplies and equipment of ships)
Tseikhmeisterskaya (artillery)
General-Kriegskommissariat, or commissariat (responsible for issues of providing fleet personnel, maintaining lists of personnel, managing naval hospitals)
contracting (responsible for conducting tenders and organizing procurement)
provision department (responsible for receiving, storing and issuing food)
treasury (reception and distribution of finances)
Tsalmeisterskaya (disbursement of salaries to personnel)
control room (control over the receipt and expenditure of material and monetary resources)
uniform (preparing and issuing uniforms)
Ober-Sarvaerskaya (consumption of forest supplies, construction of ships)
Waldmaster's office (management of protected forests)
Moscow Admiralty office.

The Collegium was not involved in solving the problems of combat control of the fleet, although from time to time members of the Collegium took part in drawing up campaign plans and general instructions to squadron commanders.

Thus, according to Peter’s regulations, the Admiralty Board consisted of flag officers who met according to seniority and was, in essence, a “military council” with 11 offices subordinate to it. Frequent changes in the management of offices, the absence of a permanent composition of the board, and the need for flagships to engage in administrative and economic matters unusual for them led to chaos in business.

Reforms of the Military Maritime Commission

Major changes in the structure of the board occurred during the reign of Anna Ioannovna, when, in preparing the work of the Military Naval Commission created by the Highest Decree, many flagships noted the need for reforms in naval management.

In a report dated July 28 (August 8), 1732, the Military Naval Commission proposed introducing a board with a permanent composition and reorganizing the offices into expeditions managed by permanent officials. The general meeting of these officials was supposed to constitute a board at which decisions were made. Expeditions were responsible for implementing these decisions.

The board created 4 expeditions:

Commissariat, who was in charge of all the supply of the fleet, distribution of salaries, preparation of uniforms, cash and provisions income and expenses, purchases, contracts (except for timber), procurement of materials and financial reporting.
Crew expedition was engaged in the storage and use of ship rigging and weapons.
Sarvaer expedition was in charge of shipyards, shipbuilding, logging and forest protection.
Artillery Expedition was in charge of naval artillery.

The management of expeditions was in the hands of expedition directors. Admiralty factories and educational institutions were transferred to the subordination of two board advisers, who worked constantly in the presence of the president.

The reform simplified the management structure and eliminated the multiple levels of management, which, together with the introduction of permanent management, made the work of the board more flexible and efficient.

This reform created a system that lasted almost unchanged until the end of the century. A return to the Petrine structure was proclaimed by Elizaveta Petrovna, but the abolition of expeditions was only legally formalized in 1751, and the clerical system was restored only in 1757. In 1763, the new Maritime Commission again restored the 1732 structure.

Excerpt characterizing the Admiralty Board

– How can you be healthy... when you suffer morally? Is it possible to remain calm in our time when a person has feelings? - said Anna Pavlovna. – You’re with me all evening, I hope?
– What about the holiday of the English envoy? It's Wednesday. “I need to show myself there,” said the prince. “My daughter will pick me up and take me.”
– I thought that the current holiday was cancelled. Je vous avoue que toutes ces fetes et tous ces feux d "artifice commencent a devenir insipides. [I confess, all these holidays and fireworks are becoming unbearable.]
“If they knew that you wanted this, the holiday would be cancelled,” said the prince, out of habit, like a wound-up clock, saying things that he did not want to be believed.
- Ne me tourmentez pas. Eh bien, qu"a t on decide par rapport a la depeche de Novosiizoff? Vous savez tout. [Don’t torment me. Well, what did you decide on the occasion of Novosiltsov’s dispatch? You know everything.]
- How can I tell you? - said the prince in a cold, bored tone. - Qu "a t on decide? On a decide que Buonaparte a brule ses vaisseaux, et je crois que nous sommes en train de bruler les notres. [What did they decide? They decided that Bonaparte burned his ships; and we too, it seems, are ready to burn ours.] - Prince Vasily always spoke lazily, like an actor speaking the role of an old play. Anna Pavlovna Sherer, on the contrary, despite her forty years, was full of animation and impulses.
Being an enthusiast became her social position, and sometimes, when she didn’t even want to, she, in order not to deceive the expectations of people who knew her, became an enthusiast. The restrained smile that constantly played on Anna Pavlovna’s face, although it did not match her outdated features, expressed, like spoiled children, a constant awareness of her dear shortcoming, from which she does not want, cannot and does not find it necessary to correct herself.
In the middle of a conversation about political actions, Anna Pavlovna became heated.
– Oh, don’t tell me about Austria! I don’t understand anything, maybe, but Austria has never wanted and does not want war. She's betraying us. Russia alone must be the savior of Europe. Our benefactor knows his high calling and will be faithful to it. That's one thing I believe in. Our good and wonderful sovereign has the greatest role in the world, and he is so virtuous and good that God will not leave him, and he will fulfill his calling to crush the hydra of the revolution, which is now even more terrible in the person of this murderer and villain. We alone must atone for the blood of the righteous... Who can we rely on, I ask you?... England, with its commercial spirit, will not and cannot understand the full height of the soul of Emperor Alexander. She refused to clean up Malta. She wants to see, looking for the underlying thought of our actions. What did they say to Novosiltsov?... Nothing. They did not understand, they cannot understand the selflessness of our emperor, who wants nothing for himself and wants everything for the good of the world. And what did they promise? Nothing. And what they promised will not happen! Prussia has already declared that Bonaparte is invincible and that all of Europe can do nothing against him... And I don’t believe a word of either Hardenberg or Gaugwitz. Cette fameuse neutralite prussienne, ce n"est qu"un piege. [This notorious neutrality of Prussia is only a trap.] I believe in one God and in the high destiny of our dear emperor. He will save Europe!... - She suddenly stopped with a smile of mockery at her ardor.
“I think,” said the prince, smiling, “that if you had been sent instead of our dear Winzengerode, you would have taken the consent of the Prussian king by storm.” You are so eloquent. Will you give me some tea?
- Now. A propos,” she added, calming down again, “today I have two very interesting people, le vicomte de MorteMariet, il est allie aux Montmorency par les Rohans, [By the way, Viscount Mortemar,] he is related to Montmorency through the Rohans,] one of the best surnames in France. This is one of the good emigrants, the real ones. And then l "abbe Morio: [Abbé Morio:] do you know this deep mind? He was accepted by the sovereign. Do you know?
- A! “I will be very glad,” said the prince. “Tell me,” he added, as if he had just remembered something and especially casually, while what he was asking about was the main purpose of his visit, “it is true that l"imperatrice mere [Empress Mother] wants the appointment of Baron Funke first secretary to Vienna? C"est un pauvre sire, ce baron, a ce qu"il parait. [This baron seems to be an insignificant person.] - Prince Vasily wanted to assign his son to this place, which they tried to deliver to the baron through Empress Maria Feodorovna.
Anna Pavlovna almost closed her eyes as a sign that neither she nor anyone else could judge what the Empress wanted or liked.
“Monsieur le baron de Funke a ete recommande a l"imperatrice mere par sa soeur, [Baron Funke was recommended to the Empress’s mother by her sister,” she just said in a sad, dry tone. While Anna Pavlovna named the Empress, her face suddenly appeared a deep and sincere expression of devotion and respect, combined with sadness, which happened to her every time she mentioned her high patroness in a conversation. She said that Her Majesty deigned to show Baron Funke beaucoup d'estime, [a lot of respect,] and again her gaze became sad.
The prince fell silent indifferently. Anna Pavlovna, with her characteristic courtly and feminine dexterity and quick tact, wanted to hit the prince for daring to speak in such a way about the person recommended to the empress, and at the same time to console him.
“Mais a propos de votre famille, [Speaking of your family,” she said, “do you know that your daughter has been fait les delices de tout le monde since she left.” On la trouve belle, comme le jour. [is the delight of the whole society. They find her as beautiful as day.]
The prince bent down as a sign of respect and gratitude.
“I often think,” Anna Pavlovna continued after a moment of silence, moving towards the prince and smiling affectionately at him, as if showing by this that political and social conversations were over and now intimate conversations began, “I often think how unfairly the happiness of life is sometimes distributed.” Why did fate give you such two nice children (with the exception of Anatole, your youngest, I don’t love him,” she inserted categorically, raising her eyebrows) – such lovely children? And you, really, value them least of all and therefore are not worth them.
And she smiled her enthusiastic smile.
- Que voulez vous? Lafater aurait dit que je n"ai pas la bosse de la paterienite, [What do you want? Lafater would say that I don’t have the lump of parental love," said the prince.
- Stop joking. I wanted to talk to you seriously. You know, I'm not happy with your smaller son. Let it be said between us (her face took on a sad expression), Her Majesty spoke about him and they feel sorry for you...
The prince did not answer, but she silently, looking significantly at him, waited for an answer. Prince Vasily winced.
- What do you want me to do! - he said finally. “You know, I did everything a father could to raise them, and both came out des imbeciles.” [fools.] Ippolit, at least, is a calm fool, and Anatole is a restless one. “Here’s one difference,” he said, smiling more unnaturally and animatedly than usual, and at the same time especially sharply revealing something unexpectedly coarse and unpleasant in the wrinkles that formed around his mouth.
– And why would people like you have children? If you weren’t my father, I couldn’t blame you for anything,” said Anna Pavlovna, raising her eyes thoughtfully.
- Je suis votre [I am your] faithful slave, et a vous seule je puis l "avouer. My children are ce sont les entraves de mon existence. [I can confess to you alone. My children are the burden of my existence.] - He paused, expressing with a gesture his submission to cruel fate.
Anna Pavlovna thought about it.
– Have you ever thought about marrying your prodigal son Anatole? They say,” she said, “that old maids are ont la manie des Marieiages.” [they have a mania to get married.] I don’t yet feel this weakness in me, but I have one petite personne [little person] who is very unhappy with her father, une parente a nous, une princesse [our relative, Princess] Bolkonskaya. “Prince Vasily did not answer, although with the quickness of thought and memory characteristic of secular people, he showed with a movement of his head that he had taken this information into consideration.

The central state governing body of the Navy in 1718-1827. She was in charge of shipyards, linen and rope factories, the construction of harbors and ports, training, armament and supplies of the Navy.

In 1698, to manage the creation of the Russian fleet, the young Tsar Peter established the Order of the Military Marine Fleet, headed by F.A. Golovin. In 1708 it was renamed the Admiralty Prikaz. Both of these Orders were located in Moscow, which complicated the operational management of naval affairs in the Baltic. In 1712, their functions were transferred to the Office of the Navy, while issues of financing and supply were transferred to a special naval commission, and issues of shipyards and admiralty management were transferred to the admiralty office. This unclear distribution of functions between various governing bodies hindered business. The management system of the naval department became completely coherent and complete only after the publication of the Decree of Peter I on December 12, 1717 on the establishment of a single supreme body of maritime administration - the Admiralty Board, which had “... the upper directorate over people, buildings and other matters belonging to the admiralty.” It organized 12 offices (departments) that were in charge of harvesting timber and other materials needed for the fleet, creating new shipyards and building ships, arming them, recruiting personnel and training them, and supplying the fleet with everything necessary.

Decisions on all matters were made collectively, by a council of flag officers and captain-commanders. In resolving the most important issues, the main role belonged to Peter. The first president of the Admiralty College was Admiral General F.M. Apraksin, and vice-president - Vice Admiral K.I. Kruys. The first meeting of the Admiralty Board took place on April 4, 1718. In addition to Peter I, Apraksin and Kruys, 2 assessors were present - Major General G.P. Chernyshev and Colonel Norov.

According to the states of 1724, the Admiralty Board had several offices and offices: naval, admiralty, shipbuilding, provisions, accounting, forestry, uniform, auditing, treasury, contracting, and controller. The heads of chancelleries could not be members of the Admiralty Board, but were required to attend meetings.

In 1732, Empress Anna Ioanovna reorganized the collegium. It began to include a president (Admiral P.I. Sievers), 4 permanent members and 2 advisers (one was in charge of the Naval Guard Academy and schools, the other was in charge of factories).

In 1763, Catherine II introduced a new regulation on the Admiralty Board, which now had a chairman, Admiral General (Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich), a vice-president (Count I.G. Chernyshev) and 5 members of the board, who led 5 expeditions: the commissariat, quartermaster, artillery, treasury and counting departments.
