POSSESSIONS OF THE COUNTS OF ORLOV-DAVYDOV IN THE ORYOL PROVINCE (UNPUBLISHED SOURCES)

The article gives a detailed description of the Glodnevsky estate of the mid-late XIX century, based on the involvement of little-known documents in the personal funds of Counts Kushelev-Bezborodko and Counts Orlov-Davydov, stored in the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian State Library, in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts and in the Russian State Historical Archive, and also used the materials of the Central State Archive of Moscow. On the basis of archival sources, the economic model of the Glodnev estate development is traced, including the economic activity of the estate is sufficiently reflected. At the end of the XVIII century, the owners of the Glodnevsky estate were the illustrious nobles Bezborodko, then the Kushelevs-Bezborodko, representatives of this family served the Fatherland faithfully for many decades. In this regard, their private life, including those related to the management of the estate, deserves attention. The next owner of the Glodnevsky estate was Count A.V. Orlov-Davydov. For the period of ownership of the estate by Count Anatoly Vladimirovich, the estate turns into a high-yield economy. The relevance of the article is also determined by the fact that a significant part of the land of the Glodnevsky estate was located on the territory of the modern Bryansk region. Despite the fact that most of the buildings on the estate have been lost, the main manor house, fragments of the park have survived to this day, so it is quite fair to pay more attention to this manor and highlight its historical past.

Keywords: noble estates, Counts Orlov-Davydov, Counts Kushelev-Bezborodko, Glodnevsky estate, Gorodishchensk distillery.
