During the Age of Enlightenment, more than six hundred Russians lived in Paris: nobles, diplomats, writers and scholars, artists and collectors, Freemasons and adventurers. Russian Parisians associated with Rousseau and Diderot, d'Alembert and Marmontel, corresponded with Voltaire, and at the same time kept dancers, played cards, fell into debt, and ended up in prison.

This book, compiled by D. Kondakov and A. Stroyev, contains police reports that paint a psychological portrait of the Russian nobility during the Enlightenment and simultaneously trace the evolution of French detective work throughout the 18th century.
