Alexander I

It is incredible that when Alexander I was reigned, one of the most influential people in the empire second only to the Russian emperor was that he turned out to be the coachman of Alexander I. His name is Ilya Baykov.

Ilya Ivanovic Baykov

Baykov has always been inseparable from the emperor since Alexander I ascended the throne until his death. So much so that in St. Petersburg , everyone knows: "If you want to ask the emperor to solve the problem, then go find the coachman."

Baykov is very cunning. In order not to lose the favor of the monarch and to prevent the emperor from feeling that he is very powerful, he has always acted submissive in front of the emperor. When he was entrusted by someone else, he let the man stand in the agreed place and wait for the emperor's carriage. When the carriage approaches, the carriagekeeper holds the horses. At this time, the pleader ran to Alexander I and spoke out his request. Often, Alexander I will solve these people’s problems. But over time, Alexander I would mock Baykov: "Your trick, Ilia?!"

Alexander I on the carriage

At that time, many courtiers disapproved of Alexander I and ordinary coachman had too close relationships and friendships, but they paid the price when advising Alexander I. For example, in the election of honorary academicians of the Russian Imperial Academy of Art, President Alexander Racine strongly opposed the election of honorary academicians who had nothing to do with art but were close to the emperor. He sarcastically said: "Instead of choosing him, then we might as well choose a coachman. He is closest to the king and always in front of him!" Baikov was angry when he heard about it. Not long after, the deputy director of was dismissed and expelled from the capital.

Baikov is deeply trusted by Alexander I. His loyalty to the emperor is like the emperor's hands. Before Alexander I passed away, Baykov stayed with Alexander I. Ilya's full beard made the emcee embarrassed. Baykov said firmly: "I hold the emperor alive, and I will not leave him now!"

Baykov is a bit like the "leader's driver" for Alexander I, and is second only to the leader's "ranked leader's second leader", so it is really not surprising that he has such power. (Zhang Yuezhuo, Xi'an, Shaanxi)
