Kurakins managed to achieve the assistance of France in maintaining peace with the Ottoman Empire during the Persian campaign.

Ernst Munnich in his "Notes" wrote: In Paris, we found Prince Alexander Borisovich Kurakin, who, on the death of his father, was left in France for business related to Russia, and was expecting the arrival of Count Golovkin in order to go to Moscow himself.

[2]Returning to Russia, he occupied a high position at the court, being a great uncle of Emperor Peter II.

In the 1730s, in pursuance of the will of the father, using the capital left to him for this purpose, he organized a hospital for the impoverished officers with the Church of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker behind the Red Gate.

During the signing of the will by the Empress Anna Ioannovna, Kurakin was the first to nominate Ernst Biron as a regent for the young emperor Ivan Antonovich.

[1] Under the ruler Anna Leopoldovna, he received the Order of Saint Andrew the First-Called, later fell into disgrace for some time, but was forgiven by a decree of April 24, 1741.

In their marriage were born: The dachas ("Primorsky Yards") of Prince Alexander Borisovich Kurakin and his sister, Princess Tatyana Golitsyna, were on the Petergof road in Ligovo next door.
