The chronological segment - from the Decembrist uprising to the Crimean War - was not chosen by the author by chance. During these three decades, relations between England and Russia deteriorated sharply. How did this affect the ideas of Russians about England and the British? How are relations between states generally reflected in such ideas? What did the Russians see in England - what facts and phenomena attracted their attention? What did the English seem like - their behavior, character, morality, other qualities? How did the view of England and the English change under the influence of the contradictions that were growing in Anglo-Russian relations? Why, peering at England, as in a kind of magic mirror, did the Russian people try to predict the path of Russia's development? Nikolai Erofeev gives many details of English life and lays out the process of the emergence of ethnic stereotypes. In short, this is an interesting book. And very relevant today.
