A large number of archival and printed sources, as well as scientific literature analyzed by the author of the article, allows to reconstruct the genealogy and family networks of one of the key figures of the noble self-government of the westernmost parts of the Russian Empire of the 1850-1860s – Marshal of the Nobility of Bobruisk County, then Minsk Governorate Alexander Łappa. Due to successful careers, marriages and land deals, the Belarusian-Lithuanian minor landed noble family of Łappa, represented by a retired officer of the Russian troops Dominik Łappa and his son Alexander, were among the most progressive and respected Belarusian landowners in the first half of the 19th century. This opened the way for them to the highest elective offices in the local apparatus of noble self-government.

Alexander Łappa held the rank of the Minsk Governorate Marshal of Nobility during a period of widespread social transformations in the Russian Empire and a national and political crisis in the Kingdom of Poland and the Western Governorates. Trying to promote his multifaceted program of reforms in the Belarusian-Lithuanian lands, he relied on deep dialogue with the liberal bureaucratic circles of the Imperial Government and, at the same time, rejected conspiratorial, armed and other kinds of adventurous forms of the national liberation struggle. The polarization among the nobles of the Minsk Governorate increased after the scandalous Noble Elections of 1862. It was aggravated after the outbreak of the January Uprising in the Kingdom of Poland and, connected with it, the growing repressive policy of the civil and military authorities. All of these factors caused Łappa to lose influence in the socio-political life of the nobility and voluntarily resign from his position as marshal.
