Artemiy Ivanovich Vorontsov

He was a senator, Active Privy Councillor, and owner of the Voronovo estate [ru], as well as the godfather of Alexander Pushkin.

His father, Ivan Illarionovich Vorontsov (1719-1786), and his brothers, were counts of the Holy Roman Empire, and also played a prominent role in public service and at court.

Initially, Vorontsov continued to be listed in the regiment, but a month later he was dismissed at his own request, with the rank of second-captain on September 10.

Three years later, Catherine the Great appointed him a member of the Commission on Commerce, the leading role in which was played by his cousin Alexander Vorontsov.

Artemiy Vorontsov was made an Active Privy Councillor on October 28, 1798 and few days later he was awarded the Order of St. Anna on November 8.
