In 1829, Emperor Nicholas I assumed the title of King of Poland at his coronation in Warsaw, the capital of the Kingdom of Poland. In this way he fulfilled one of the provisions of the Constitution granted to Poland by his elder brother and predecessor on the throne, Alexander I. The Warsaw ceremony was a unique event in Russian history: neither before nor since has any Russian monarch been crowned king of Poland. Nicholas I was a man of conservative views and did not support Alexander I's decision to grant Poland special rights. However, after much deliberation, doubts and contrary to his beliefs, he decided to hold the coronation. In Ekaterina Boltunova's book, the history of the preparation and holding of the coronation becomes an occasion for reflection on the choice of Russian political strategy on the western borders of the empire and on the mental attitudes of the imperial elite of the first third of the 19th century. Ekaterina Boltunova is a PhD in History, Professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE), and Head of the Laboratory of Regional History of Russia at HSE.
