  Nikita Ivanovich, Count Panin - LoveToKnow 1911
NIKITA IVANOVICH PANIN, Count (1718-1783), Russian statesman, was born at Danzig on the 18th of September 1718.
Panin was the inventor of the famous "Northern Accord," which aimed at opposing a combination of Russia, Prussia, Poland, Sweden, and perhaps Great Britain, against the Bourbon-Habsburg League.
As the Austrian influence increased Panin found a fresh enemy in Joseph II., and the efforts of the old statesman to prevent a matrimonial alliance between the Russian and Austrian courts determined Catherine to get rid of a counsellor of whom, for some mysterious reason, she was secretly afraid.

 Orlov - LoveToKnow 1911
At one time the empress thought of marrying her favourite, but the plan was frustrated by Nikita Panin.
Orlov's influence became paramount after the discovery of the Khitrovo plot to murder the whole Orlov family.
In 1771 he was sent as first Russian plenipotentiary to the peace-congress of Focshani; but he failed in his mission, owing partly to the obstinacy of the Turks, and partly (according to Panin) to his own outrageous insolence.

Panin was the inventor of the famous Northern Accord, which aimed at opposing a combination of Russia, Prussia, Poland, Sweden, and perhaps Great Britain, against the Bourbon-Habsburg League.
Panin further incensed Catherine by meddling with the marriage arrangements of the grand duke Paul and by advocating a closer alliance with Prussia, whereas the empress was beginning to incline more and more towards Austria.

 Nikita Ivanovich Panin - Definition, explanation
For a long time he could not endure the thought of destroying her, because he regarded her as an indispensable member of his Accord, wherein she was to supply the place of Austria, which circumstances had temporarily detached from the Russian alliance.
It was only when the impossibility of realizing the Northern Accord and the fact that Russia had sacrificed millions of rubles fruitlessly in the endeavor to carry out his pet scheme became patent that his influence began to wane.
The final rupture seems to have arisen on the question of the declaration of the armed neutrality of the North, but it is known that Grigori Potemkin and the English ambassador, James Harris (afterwards 1st earl of Malmesbury), were both working against him some time before that.

 Denis Fonvizin’s Translation of Neo-Confucianism
Nikita Panin’s principal concern was that Catherine was extremely vulnerable to relying on her favorites (very often her lovers) for political advice.
Panin and many of his clients realized that, if reliance on legitimate counselors were not institutionalized by a control over the imperial bureaucracy exercised jointly by the tsar and an aristocratic council, the situation prevailing under Elizabeth and Peter III would forever repeat itself.
For the first time, the Panin group was attacking the moral legitimacy of those chosen to occupy the imperial council; Catherine, as a party to the overthrow of her late husband, would have recognized immediately the fine line between loyalty and opposition these men were treading.

It was this " sly trick " of Thugut's, as Panin called it, which forced the hand of Catherine and, in conjunction with strong and persistent pressure from Frederick, inclined the Empress to abate her claims upon Turkey and compensate herself at the expense of Poland.
In February 1772, Panin reported to the council the pleasing intelligence that Austria would co-operate with Russia and Prussia in the peace negotiations, and that the Turkish plenipotentiaries were on their way to a peace congress, which ultimately met at Fokcsani in Moldavia.
Panin, meanwhile, had completely forfeited her confidence by his mischievous subserviency to Prussia in his later years ; and she dismissed the old statesman (May 1881) with the firm resolve, henceforth, to be her own Minister of Foreign Affairs.

 Vera Proskurina, Cornell University
It was the program of the so-called “Nikita Panin group” which was supposed to limit Catherine’s mission to a brave “salvation” of her “baby boy,” Pavel Petrovich, a legal heir to the throne after Peter III.
Influenced by Panin, the most talented circle of poets leaded by Sumarokov (Mixail Xeraskov, Vasilij Majkov, Ivan Bogdanovič) and their allies politically interpreted the metaphysics of Astraea by developing a program of Catherine’s regency (while Pavel was young) and Panin’s real leadership.
Catherine adroitly, by political means, turned to advantage and then cautiously put away the “Panin opposition” oriented to raise the role of Pavel, her son.

The Nakaz of 1767 was the first step in her project to codify Russian laws and bring them in closer accordance with the political philosophy of Europe.
She worked on the document for three years, submitting it to her close advisors, including Orlov and Nikita Panin, for suggestions and amendments.
Panin advised her that the document would be the undoing of the social order, but in fact the Nakaz was ambiguous enough to be relatively benign, even as it served as a powerful tool for enhancing her reputation as a philosopher-monarch.

Such control of the whole country was, on the contrary, the original aim of Russia.
It can be traced back as far as Peter the Great’s reign, and it still appeared clearly in the first part of that of Catherine II when Count Nikita Panin was her main collaborator in the field of foreign relations.
But Frederick the Great, taking advantage of the Prussian-Russian alliance, which in 1769 he proposed to extend until 1780, tried to find out at the same time, through Count Lynar‘s mission to St. Petersburg, whether Russia would not agree to a simultaneous annexation of Polish territories by all three neighbors.
