A member of the Polish-Lithuanian aristocracy, Countess Sophie de Choiseul-Gouffier held the court rank of maid of honor in the retinue of the Russian empresses Elizabeth Alexeyevna (wife of Alexander I) and Maria Feodorovna (mother of Alexander I). In 1812, she met the Russian Emperor Alexander I, with whom she developed a friendship that lasted until the end of the Russian monarch's life. During the Patriotic War of 1812, she survived the French occupation in Vilnius, where she met with Napoleon Bonaparte, demonstratively supporting the Russian emperor and his policies. These memoirs are not only personal recollections of meetings with Emperors Alexander I and Napoleon, and Field Marshal M.I. Kutuzov, whom she also knew, but also a story about the reign of Alexander I, the Russo-French War, and the fate of Vilnius during its occupation and liberation by the Russian army.
