И.А.维什涅格拉德茨基与С.Ю.维特:合作伙伴与竞争对手

Ivan Vyshnegradsky and Sergei Witte:Partners and Competitors

И.А.维什涅格拉德茨基和С.Ю.维特是帝俄晚期并驾齐驱的政治精英人士,两人初识于西南铁路公司,时任公司董事长的维什涅格拉德茨基对维特大力提携。1885年维什涅格拉德茨基辞去公司董事长一职,以谋求财政大臣职务,并推荐维特接任公司董事长。此时他们是志同道合的合作伙伴,维什涅格拉德茨基提拔维特,维特协助维什涅格拉德茨基谋得财政大臣职务,并在他与交通大臣的斗争中出谋划策,充当智囊。但他们两人表面一团和气,实则暗流涌动,貌合神离。维特到彼得堡任职之后,开始寻找新的庇护人,并利用维什涅格拉德茨基的健康状况大肆宣传,使其失宠于沙皇,最终他凭借智慧和健康优势获得财政大臣职务。维什涅格拉德茨基虽意图反扑,但无奈实力悬殊,只得依附于维特。

Ivan Vyshnegradsky and Sergei Witte are late imperial Russia political elites racing together bridle to bridle.They first met each other in the Southwest of the Railway Company.As the chairman of the company,Ivan Vyshnegradsky gave a lot of help to Sergei Witte.In 1885,Vyshnegradsky resigned as chairman of the company to seek the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer and recommended Witte took over as chairman of the company.At that time,they are like-minded partners:Vyshnegradsky promoted Witte and Witte assisted Vyshnegradsky in his post as Chancellor of the Exchequer and worked as a think tank in Vyshnegradsky' s struggle with the Transport Minister.But they two were seemingly in harmony but actually at variance.After Witte went to Petersburg,he began to look for new asylum seekers and made use of Ivan Vyshnegradsky' s health to make it fall out of favor with the Tsar.In the end he gained the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer with wisdom and health advantages.Although Vyshnegradsky intended to counterattack,he had to be attached to Witte out of strength disparity.
