In the province of Chernigov Kozeletskogo County, lived in the village Lemesh registered Cossacks Gregory Rozum. Farm village Lemesh was before 1765 and housed in the old post road from Kiev to Chernigov between stations and Kozelec Chemer. Rozum dubbed Gregory Cossacks from the neighboring sayings, which he liked to say: "Hey! What kind of head that this is a Rozum! ".

Rozum was a man of quarrelsome and scandalous, his wife Natalia Demyanovna, by contrast, was a woman, sensible and intelligent. Children they had six: Danilo, Alex, Cyril, Gafiya, Anna, Vera. Good looks and voice, the desire to learn attracted the attention of Alexis local clergy. He went to study to the deacon in the village Chemer.

Once Natalya Demyanovne dreamed in her hut the sun shines and the stars. Told his dream to neighbors who have just laughed at her. Three days later, in early January 1731, during a holiday passed through Chemer Col. Theodore S. Wisniewski, who was returning from Hungary where to buy wine for the Empress. Wisniewski went to church, to charm voice and good looks by Alexei Rozum, persuaded the sexton to let him go to St. Petersburg. There Wisniewski, presented the then chief Alexei Marshal Count Reinhold Levenvoldu, who immediately identified the young Ukrainian in the court choir.

Elizabeth turned its attention to the young Intelligence - by the time he lost his voice and was a court Bandurist. After some time of Bandurist not Rozum and Rozumovsky appointed managing one of the royal estates. Following this, Alexei G. Gough gets the title of intendant, and begins to manage all property of the yard Elizabeth, but so skillfully that the Empress in his letters calls him a "sincere friend". Mother Alexei Rozumovskogo at this time are better off, started an inn ...

Soon Rozumovsky is Earl, and marries the Empress Elizabeth (they had secretly married in autumn 1742 in the village of Perovo). After such a successful marriage between the influence of Alexey Grigorievich the court is huge. He did not forget their benefactors: Wisniewski has made a general, a deacon appointed overseer in one of the gardens of the Empress. Any of his desire was law for the court. Do not forget he is a distant homeland. Brothers Cyril helped to become hetman of Ukraine, sought to restore the autonomy of Ukraine. But all the time Rozumovskogo drawn to their homeland.

Once Elizabeth had gathered to visit Ukraine. Repaired and widened roads, bridges strengthened. In Kozelets Empress liked there she met the sister of her husband. Perhaps it was then to "feed" Alexei Rozumovskogo and appeared in Elizabeth's desire to build the Cathedral of Our Lady.
