Abstract
Among the most outstanding reformers of Russia, men such as M.M. Speranskii, E.F. Kankrin, S. Iu. Witte, P.A. Stolypin, and others, must be included Nikolai Khristianovich Bunge (1823-1895), whose accomplishments have yet to be properly studied and evaluated. In many ways Bunge remains the "forgotten" reformer. Yet he is one of the most interesting political figures of the nineteenth century. The life of this gifted and accomplished man was amazingly multifaceted. He was a famous economist, the author of several scholarly works, an acknowledged authority on credit and money circulation, an exceptional educator, a professor and rector of St. Vladimir University in Kiev, an experienced financial expert, and a talented writer on public affairs who dealt with the most burning issues of his time. Finally, the course of events during his declining years placed Bunge at the pinnacle of the bureaucratic pyramids—he held the posts of minister of finance (1881-86) and chairman of the Committee of Ministers (1887-95).
