  • Count Illarion Ivanovich Vorontsov-Dashkov (1837-1916) was the last notable representative of the Vorontsov family, who served as Minister of Imperial Properties in 1881-97 and the General Governor of Caucasus in 1905-15. Illarion Vorontsov was born on 27 May 1837 in St. Petersburg. He took part in the conquest of Central Asia in the 1860s and was appointed Major General in 1866. He was in charge of the Hussar regiment of the Leub Guard in 1867-74. He was on friendly terms with the future Alexander III of Russia and, following his father's assassination, established a counter-revolutionary squad, or "holy druzhina", whose members included Konstantin Pobedonostsev, Nicholas Pavlovich Ignatiev, and Mikhail Katkov. Alexander III put Vorontsov-Dashkov in charge of the imperial court and made him Full General of Cavalry. He also was made responsible for imperial stud farms and vineyards. Following Nicholas II's coronation, he was dislodged from the office of Minister of Imperial Properties but was appointed to the State Council of Imperial Russia instead. The Russian Revolution of 1905 recalled Vorontsov to active service, and he ascended to the helm of the Viceroyalty of the Caucasus. He was officially in charge of the victorious Russian forces in the Battle of Sarikamis during the early months of World War I, although the effective command lay with General Alexander Myshlayevsky. In September 1915 he was removed from command and replaced with Grand Duke Nicholas. He died on 15 January 1916 in his Alupka Palace.
  • Esponente della famiglia Voroncov, una fra le più antiche casate russe, il conte Illarion Voroncov-Daškov fu Ministro delle Proprietà Imperiali nel periodo 1881-1897, governatore generale del Caucaso Russo (col titolo di viceré) fra il 1905 e il 1915 e generale di cavalleria. Al suo arrivo a Tblisi istituì la legge marziale per fronteggiare i disordini politici e gli scioperi che agitavano la Georgia, inoltre dovette occuparsi anche della difficile convivenza fra le numerose etnie (in particolare fra armeni, azeri e georgiani) in tutta la regione. Scrisse due dettagliati rapporti sulla situazione in Caucaso indirizzati allo zar Nicola II: Vsepoddanneishaia zapiska po upravleniiu kavkazskim kraem generala adiutanta Vorontsova-Dashkova nel 1907 e Vsepoddanneishii otchet za vesem let upravleniia Kavkazom nel 1913, entrambi pubblicati a San Pietroburgo. Il 29 ottobre 1914, l'Impero Ottomano si alleò con le Potenze Centrali e dichiarò guerra alla Russia, che decise di istituire un autonomo Fronte del Caucaso - formato inizialmente dal I Corpo e dal IV Corpo del Caucaso - con quartier generale a Kars e con il generale Voroncov-Daškov come comandante in capo ed il generale Judenič come comandante delle operazioni. A Voroncov-Daškov venne ufficialmente attribuita la vittoria delle truppe russe nella battaglia di Sarıkamış che si svolse fra il dicembre 1914 ed il gennaio 1915. Morì nel 1916 ad Alupka in Crimea dopo essere stato rimosso dal comando e sostituito dal granduca Nicola il Giovane e dal generale Nikolaj Nikolaevič Judenič.
