He served as minister of finance from 1880-1881, and unsuccessfully urged the tsar to transform Imperial Russia into a constitutional monarchy. In his career he also served as State Comptroller (1871-1874) and as chairman of State Council's Department of the State Economy (1874-1880 and 1884-1892).
