  • Count Pyotr Ivanovich Shuvalov (Петр Иванович Шувалов in Russian) (1711 - 1762) was a Russian statesman and Field Marshal who, together with his brother Aleksandr Shuvalov, paved the way for the elevation of the Shuvalov family to the highest offices of the Russian Empire. Pyotr Shuvalov began his career as a page at the court of tsesarevna Elizabeth. He was brought to tsesarevna's attention when he married her close friend and in-law, Mavra Shepeleva. For his assistance in the enthronement of Elizabeth, he was promoted to the rank of Chamberlain, then appointed senator and became a count in 1746. Initially, he was in charge of an army division stationed near St. Petersburg and then the Observation Corps, formed by Shuvalov himself and designated to protect the rear of the regular army. He also held the post of a conference minister and managed the artillery and weapons chancelleries. Shuvalov improved the Russian artillery and built a few weapons factories. He enjoyed unlimited power throughout the reign of Elizabeth due to his wife's and cousin Ivan Ivanovich Shuvalov's influence on the empress. Almost no single affair of the state was to be taken care of without Shuvalov, especially those pertaining to national economy and military organization. In 1753, Shuvalov presented before the Governing Senate a project for eliminating internal customs offices and outposts and increasing tariffs on imported goods, instead. Shuvalov is known to have been very selfish at times. He worried excessively about his own interests and, quite often, to the detriment of the state and private parties. For example, Shuvalov obtained for himself an exclusive right to export lumber, lard, blubber oil and monopolized the seal trade. Having led a luxurious lifestyle, Shuvalov left a debt of more than a million rubles to the state treasury.

Pierre Chouvalov commença sa carrière comme page à la Cour de la future impératrice Élisabeth. Il attira son attention, lorsqu'il épousa une de ses intimes, Mavra Chepeleva, dame de la Cour. Lorsqu' Élisabeth monta sur le trône de Russie, Pierre Chouvalov devint chambellan, puis sénateur et comte, en 1746. C'était aussi un militaire; il commanda une division près de Saint-Pétersbourg et le Corps d' Observation, formé par lui. Il s'occupa de doter la Russie de manufactures d'armement, spécialement dans le domaine de l'artillerie. Il fut surtout ministre, chargé des affaires intérieures, et réforma l'économie de l'Empire, mise à mal par le règne précédent. Il appliqua une politique protectionniste et fit tomber les barrières douanières intérieures (taxes et octrois divers). Son attention fut attirée par les mines de l'Oural et il développa le secteur manufacturier. Il avait une grande influence sur la tsarine, favorisée par sa proximité avec son cousin Ivan, favori de l' impératrice, mécène et fondateur de l' Académie des beaux Arts de Saint-Pétersbourg. Il fut néanmoins dépensier et causa des dettes considérables au Trésor d'Etat.
