Mikhalitsin Vyacheslavovich [RBX: CalvinFHarrison] is a Councillor of the Russian Empire.

Life and Education
Mikhalitsin Vyacheslavovich was born in the city of Tsaritsyn on August 15th, 1810, a couple of years before the Patriotic War of 1812, also known as French invasion of Russia during the Napoleonic Wars. In 1815, Mikhalitsin's family moved out to a rural village in the outskirts of Tsaritsyn in order to have better living condition. Mikhalitsin's father, Nikolai established a local logging business. Growing up in rural village, he studied at the theological school of the local church but he was more interested in business. This led to his father employing him as a clerk for the logging business.

In 1830, after 3 years working in his father's business, he decided to quit, and he got lectured by a political commentator named Boris. He quickly learnt about politics.

Mikhalitsin's family amassed wealth gained from Nikolai's logging business and eventually moved back to Tsaritsyn in 1831. Nikolai got a job as a clerk in a furniture factory. His family also actively work to improve the local community near his home. His father, Nikolai, died in 1837. Followed by his mother, Maria, in 1838.

Military Career
Mikhalitsin enlisted in the Army in 1832, his career in the military was not a very bright one, he was repeatedly promoted and demoted because of his behaviour. But in 1838 he was finally promoted to Gefreiter for his service at Kubinka. In 1840 he applied for Light Infantry regiment and finally assigned as a Rifleman in 1841, and for the length of his service, he was promoted to Corporal in 1846. He took part in the Caucasian War. During the Crimean War, he was stationed in his hometown of Tsaritsyn.

The Eagle Nest
Back in Tsaritsyn, Mikhalitsin with his inherited wealth established a tavern that he named "The Eagle Nest". This business did not go well as he expected - this tavern had so many rivals. His most hated rival of all was a restaurant for upper class located not far from his tavern. "The Eagle Nest" does not only sell drinks but also has rooms for rent. He frequently trades muskets, gunpowder, and sabers with barrels of alcohol.

Political Career
Besides working on his business at Tsaritsyn, Mikhalitsin also actively participates in local politics. In mid 1858, he ran a political campaign to gain a seat as a Mayor of Tsaritsyn. His political campaign was also supported by Repnin himself. His opponent was Martin Petrov. Because of the suspected bribery and corruption, the Mayor of Tsaritsyn election was delayed.

In late 1858, the Tsar assembled the Imperial Council that consists of Upper Class members of the society. The Tsar opened an application for the offices of ministries. Despite not having any tittles ambitious Mikhalitsin applied for the position anyway, and eventually got accepted by the Tsar to the position of Minister of Intelligence.
