The political career of Sergey Yulievich Witte was brilliant and quite deserved: the Minister of Finance of the Russian Empire for 11 years, the chairman of the Committee of Ministers, the first head of the Council of Ministers, a member of the State Council.
The years when Witte was the Minister of Finance, marked by an unprecedented increase in the country"s budget, the development of public economy and empire, an increase in private initiative and large reforms in the field of financial legislation. Thanks to Witte"s reforms, Russia began to gain industrial power, the gold standard of the ruble was introduced, and the active construction of roads began. It was Witte who initiated the laying of the Siberian Railway, and then continuously sought significant amounts for its fastest commissioning. To organize trade shipping along the Northern Sea Route, with its support, the first Russian icebreaker Ermak was built. In the efforts of Witte, dozens of higher and secondary schools were opened in all the country, where they were preparing personnel for the country"s gaining pace. Finally, on his initiative, the manifesto was drawn up on October 17, granting the main civil freedoms and introducing the institution of the national representation - the State Duma. In 1900-1902 Witte gave lectures on the national and state economy of the Russian Empire to his imperial highness Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich. The Minister of Finance created this general course of economic development of the country specifically for the heir to the Russian throne.
