Prince Nikolai Grigoryevich Repnin-Volkonsky (Russian: Николай Григорьевич Репнин-Волконский; 1778 – 18 January [O.S. 6 January] 1845)[1] was a general in the Imperial Russian Army.
He returned to Russia in 1811, and a year later, was put in command of a cavalry regiment in the army department commanded by Peter Wittgenstein. In October 1813, after the Battle of Leipzig, he became military governor in Saxony, until being replaced by the Prussian General Government in November 1814. During this period he worked to stabilise and rebuilt Saxony and attempted to turn its capital Dresden into the centre of German art, commissioning the external staircase to Brühl's Terrace and opening the Großer Garten to the public. He also put up a monument on the Räcknitzhöhe near Dresden to the wounding of Jean-Victor Moreau.
