According to the terms of the Paris Peace Treaty of 1815, concluded after the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the Russian corps of Count M.S. Vorontsov was part of the allied army stationed in the eastern and northeastern regions of France as a guarantor of the new world order. Over the course of three years, about thirty thousand Russian servicemen were forced to adapt to a foreign cultural and linguistic space, trying to avoid conflicts with the civilian population of the country, against which they had recently waged a fierce war. The author of the book offers readers a detailed history of the Russian occupation of France in 1815-1818, describing the material and legal conditions for the stay of Russian military personnel in this country, the reaction of the local population and authorities to the need to get along with uninvited "guests", the impact of these circumstances on the everyday behavior of soldiers and officers and discipline in the corps.
