	Throughout the 1870s, Pobedonostsev had been in contact with [[Fyodor Dostoyevsky]], whose religious and nationalist ideas he considered of value to the aims of the Tsarist government as it tried to quell the ever-increasing tide of revolutionary unrest. [[Dostoyevsky]] discussed with him some aspects of ''The Brothers Karamazov ''as he worked on it in 1879, but, despite sharing the senator's concern with exposing the balefulness of contemporary 'nihilism', it is believed that Pobedonostsev was to some extent the prototype of the ominous Grand Inquisitor in that novel. Some years later [[Lev Tolstoy]], in his novel ''Resurrection'' (1899), would give a scathing portrait of Pobedonostsev in the hypocritical and repulsive figure of Toporov.

Russian jurist and politician (b. 9/21 May 1827; d. 10/23 March 1907), born '''''Konstantin Petrovich Pobedonostsev''''' (Константин Петрович Победоносцев).

After graduating from the Imperial School of Jurisprudence in [[Saint Petersburg]], he began a career in the legal department of the state senate in [[Moscow]]. He gave lectures in civil law at [[Moscow]] University (1859–1867), and taught at [[Moscow]] University (1860–1865), where he was appointed professor of law. In 1865 he became tutor to the sons of Tsar [[Alexander II]] of Russia.

His political career began in 1868, when he was elected a senator in [[Saint Petersburg]]. In 1874 he was appointed to the State Council, and from 1880 to 1905 he was the Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church. When his former protégé [[Alexander III|Grand Duke Aleksandr Aleksandrovich]] acceded the Russian throne in 1881 as [[Alexander III]], Pobedonostsev became one of his closest advisers, and was notoriously conservative in his views.

Throughout the 1870s Pobedonostsev had been in contact with [[Fyodor Dostoyevsky]], whose religious and nationalist ideas he considered of value to the aims of the Tsarist government as it tried to quell the ever increasing tide of revolutionary unrest. [[Dostoyevsky]] discussed with him some aspects of ''The Brothers Karamazov ''as he worked on it in 1879, but, despite sharing the senator's concern with exposing the balefulness of contemporary 'nihilism', it is believed that Pobedonostsev was to some extent the prototype of the ominous Grand Inquisitor in that novel. Some years later [[Lev Tolstoy]], in his novel ''Resurrection'' (1899), would give a scathing portrait of Pobedonostsev in the hypocritical and repulsive figure of Toporov.

On 19/31 May 1881, Tchaikovsky wrote to Pobedonostsev (whom he had first met in the summer of 1867), asking him to petition [[Alexander III]] on his behalf for a one-off grant of 3,000 silver rubles.

This would by no means have been the only such instance of Pobedonostsev supporting worthy causes: he also provided generous assistance to the educator [[Sergey Rachinsky]].
