Grigory Razumovsky

Grigory Razumovsky

Count Grigory Kirillovich Razumovsky (November 10, 1759 – June 3, 1837) was a Ukrainian nobleman, political philosopher, botanist, zoologist and geologist known from his writings in the West as Gregor, who lost his Russian titles in 1811 for verbally attacking Emperor Alexander I and was subsequently incorporated into the Bohemian nobility (Inkolat im Herrenstande) and accorded the rank of Count in the Austrian Empire. Gregor was the first to describe and classify the Triturus Helveticus Razoumovsky. He was the fifth son of Kirill Grigorievich Razumovsky and brother of Andreas Razumovsky.

He was the author of "Anecdotes et pensées philosophiques sur la Russie" (?) and of "Observations Minéralogiques sur les environs de Vienne" (1822).
