This book contains the memoirs and diaries of diplomats from the Napoleonic Wars. Of all the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, only a few people left written testimonies about this time, and they also had different statuses. K. V. Nesselrode, A. Ya. Bulgakov, N. V. Dolgorukov and A. I. Weydemeyer were secretaries of various foreign embassies, Adjutant General A. D. Balashev and Adjutant Prince N. G. Volkonsky carried out military-diplomatic missions, A. P. Butenev was in the central department and in 1812 was seconded to the 2nd Western Army as a diplomatic official, P. G. Divov held the post of head of the secret archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Overall, their memoirs provide a clear picture of the complex international situation that prevailed in Europe during the Napoleonic Wars and the enormous work done by Russian diplomacy at that time, and convey the enormous tension and atmosphere of the impending storm before the invasion of the “twelve languages” in 1812.
