14.99 €
Russia in the first half of the 19th century after the assassination of Paul I was a time of Napoleonic wars, reforms, the Guards mutiny, the Polish uprising, and resistance to liberalism, known for its military leaders and diplomats, reformers and reactionaries.
Natalia Zazulina's book, "Prince A.N. Golitsyn: Unknown in All Respects," offers readers a view of the era through a historical figure who did not cover himself with military glory and was certainly no reformer. Alexander Nikolaevich Golitsyn was a highly sought-after figure: a courtier, an official, an intriguer, and a bribe-taker. A.N. Golitsyn was not a hero in the traditional sense, but his biography is a cross-section of the era, a kind of chronicle.
A quarter of a century of Alexander I's reign and seventeen years of Nicholas I—A.N. Golitsyn was an influential dignitary: Chief Prosecutor of the Holy Synod, then Minister. F.M. Dostoevsky defined that period as the time when the Russian Empire "...loudly called itself European." But to call itself European was not to be.
Prince A.N. Golitsyn is a distorting mirror of time, straightening out distorted historical facts. This book is a historical essay that reveals the other side of well-known events through old and new documents from the archives of Austria, England, the Vatican, Germany, and Sweden.
