In From Victory to Peace, Elise Kimerling Wirtschafter brings the Russian perspective to a critical moment in European political history.
This history of Russian diplomatic thought in the years after the Congress of Vienna concerns a time when Russia and Emperor Alexander I were fully integrated into European society and politics. Wirtschafter looks at how Russia's statesmen who served Alexander I across Europe, in South America, and in Constantinople represented the Russian monarch's foreign policy and sought to act in concert with the allies.
Based on archival and published sources-diplomatic communications, conference protocols, personal letters, treaty agreements, and the periodical press-this book illustrates how Russia's policymakers and diplomats responded to events on the ground as the process of implementing peace unfolded.
