Daniil Danilovich Shumakher
Mayor of Moscow from October 16, 1873 to April 16, 1876. Born in Finland, hereditary nobleman, Ordinary State Councilor of Russia; manager of the Moscow Savings and Credit Fund, director of the Moscow-Ryazan railway; Chairman of the Board of Directors of Commercial Loan Bank (until 1873), later deputy chairman. Graduated from the Law Faculty of Moscow University. In the 1873 election two candidates applied for the position of mayor: the chairman of the Duma finance commission D.D. Shumakher and the foreman of the trade class V.M. Bostanyoglo. "After Shumakher's election," wrote "Russkiye Vedomosti", "loud calls of appreciation and applause could be heard in the hall. Then, in Moscow they commented the defeat of Bostanyoglo: "The Slavs did not go to the Greeks for their ruler, but to the Germans." Shumakher was elected largely thanks to the support a group headed by Prince V.A. Cherkassky and Yu. F. Samarin. But even without the help of these powerful voices, Shumakher's chances for the mayoral office were great. Contemporaries appreciated his intelligence, efficiency and abilities as a business leader and recognized his experience and interest in urban affairs The only thing that confused Muscovites was that he was Lutheran, which was felt to be "not entirely convenient for filling the position of the head of Moscow". Under Shumakher, the Duma first discussed the need for
bonds. In 1875 a specially created commission that had examined the reasons for the annual deficit concluded that
only with the help of loans could the water supply be expanded and the sewage system built. The Duma sat for three days but in the end turned down the offer of loans, recognizing them as harmful to Moscow.
Shumakher failed to serve until the end of his four-year term.
The board of directors of the commercial bank was embroiled in speculation that led to the bank's bankruptcy in October 1875. Shumakher had not only invested his own money in it, but also that of his nephews. Taking advantage of his official position, he withdrew all this money when the bank had already stopped payments, and although he changed his mind and put the money back, the fierce prosecutor Manassein investigated and sued him. Shumakher was acquitted but resigned from both state and public service, and his career was ended forever. A new mayor was elected. Shumakher was married to Yuliya Bogdanovna Mühlhausen.
