- Konstantin_Posyet abstract "Constantine Possiet (Russian: Константин Николаевич Посьет, Konstantin Nikolayevich Posyet, 21 December 1819 - 26 April 1899) was a Russian statesman and admiral who served as Minister of Transport Communications between 1874 and 1888. Possiet was a descendant of one Possiet de Rossier, a French noble who was commissioned by Peter the Great to lay out vineyards near Astrakhan. Constantine was born in Pärnu, Estonia, a town of which he later became an honorary freeman. After attending the Naval Cadet Corps in St. Petersburg, he pursued the career of a military author. Artillerie-Exercitium (1847), a comprehensive treatise about modern artillery, won him a Demidov Prize from the Russian Academy of Sciences.In 1852-54, Possiet followed Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin on the frigate Pallas to Japan. Accompanied by novelist Ivan Goncharov and inventor Alexander Mozhaisky, Possiet explored and mapped the northern coastline of the Sea of Japan, including Possiet Bay, which now bears his name. In 1856 he carried to Japan the news of the ratification of the Treaty of Shimoda. Possiet's journeys and published observations made him something of an expert on Japan. Years later, he negotiated with Enomoto Takeaki the Treaty of Saint Petersburg, which brought entire Sakhalin Island into the Russian fold. Back in the capital by 1858, Possiet was asked to supervise the education of Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich of Russia, who was destined for a naval career. In the 1860s, he accompanied Grand Duke on the naval excursions to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. During a visit to the United States, Possiet and his pupil inspected the condition of U.S. railroads and inner waterways; they also made the acquaintance of Hamilton Fish and other leading politicians.Between 1874 and 1888, Possiet served as Minister of Ways and Communications. Inspired by his American experience, he set himself the task of extending Russia's network of state-owned railways and upgrading the obsolete Mariinsky Canal System. He also introduced a system of marine salvage operations. As early as 1875, Possiet came up with a detailed proposal concerning the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, but the project had to be abandoned due to the outbreak of the Turkish war.Posyet's tenure of office was brought to an abrupt end by the Borki train disaster involving royal train of Alexander III. The aged minister was replaced by the young and energetic Sergei Witte, but remained active in the State Council of Imperial Russia until his death. He was a recipient of numerous Russian and foreign awards, including the Order of the Rising Sun, 1st Class. In 1896, he emerged as a leading advocate for the restoration of the familiar white-blue-red tricolor as the official flag of Russia. Posiet bequeathed his extensive library and collections to the Kunstkamera in St. Petersburg. His grave is in the Novodevichy Cemetery in St. Petersburg.".
