Adam Jerzy Czartoryski (14 January 1770 – 15 July 1861), also known as Adam George Czartoryski, was a Polish nobleman, statesman, diplomat and author who served as Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Russian Empire. The son of a wealthy prince, he began his political career as a foreign minister to Emperor Alexander I of Russia after Poland was partitioned by Russia, Prussia and Austria. He later became a leader of the Polish government in exile during and after the failed November Uprising (1830–1831) and a bitter opponent of Alexander's successor, Nicholas I. In exile, he advocated for the reestablishment of a sovereign Polish state, which also stimulated early Balkan and Belgian nationalism, and intensified their desire for independence. Czartoryski was a dedicated patron of arts and greatly contributed to the Czartoryski Collection. Read more on Wikipedia
