The teacher of Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich, a supporter of the ideas of the Enlightenment, Nikita Panin, sought to make him an ideal monarch. Perhaps it was in accordance with his recommendations that a number of “subject teachers” were scheduled for. Among them were Metropolitan Plato (Law of God), with. AND. Poroshin (natural history and mathematics) and others. One of the mentors of Paul, Semyon Andreevich Poroshin, kept a diary (1764-1765.), which later became a valuable historical source on the history of the court and to study the personality of Tsarevich. The heir was taught by stories, geography, arithmetic, the law of God, astronomy, foreign languages (French, German, Latin, Italian), Russian language, drawing, fencing, dancing. He was introduced to the works of enlighteners: Voltaire, Didro, Montesquieu. The Grand Duke loved mathematics, dancing, military exercises.
