Abstract
Malinovskii’s contemporaries knew very little about him. Few were aware of his constant and untiring search for ways to implement his projects for social and political reform. An examination of the development of Malinovskii’s professional career leaves the impression that he was just one more among the innumerable, zealous bureaucrats in the service of the Russian empire of the late 18th and early 19th centuries: he was transferred from one state office to the next, and although his professional capabilities were appreciated, they did not lead to any significant promotion.
