Having witnessed four reigns, Golenishchev-Kutuzov meticulously kept diaries in French, preserved for 1806–1820, 1823–1828, 1831–1843. and containing interesting information on the history of Russian literature of the 1810–1830s. In the diary there are many references to A.S. Pushkin, with whom he often met in Petersburg literary circles, at meetings of the Academy of Sciences and with his second cousin EM. Sly, passionate admirer of the poet. Golenishchev-Kutuzov approved the “Feast of Peter the Great”, but the poem “Commander” caused his extreme indignation because of the derogation, as it seemed to him, of the achievements of M.I. Golenishcheva-Kutuzov. Pushkin in Sovremennik, in his Explanations, refuted this accusation. Despite the tiff, Golenishchev-Kutuzov always treated Pushkin with great involvement and sincerely grieved for his death.
The reason for the sudden death of Golenishchev-Kutuzov, which followed in St. Petersburg, may have been the news he received about the workmanship and insanity of his son.
