Description	The History of Russia in the Nineteenth Century by Professor Andrei Zubov, Doctor of Historical Sciences, goes beyond a chronological retelling of events and asks which forces brought “historical Russia” closer to disaster. In Professor Zubov’s view, the catastrophe of the early twentieth century grew from roots far deeper than is usually assumed. Close attention to those causes helps illuminate the past and also makes the present more intelligible. The third volume is devoted to the first period of Nicholas Pavlovich’s reign. The character of “knight Nicholas”, as he was called in childhood, and later “the Don Quixote of autocracy”, was formed by the absolute conservatism of his mentors, the historian Nikolai Karamzin and General Matthias Lambsdorff: the individual meant little, the state meant everything. Grand but clumsy foreign policy demanded a known price, paid in the blood of Russian soldiers. Technical advances also carried a heavy cost, borne by ordinary people through suffering and hardship. By the middle of Nicholas I’s reign, perceptive observers already saw stagnation and decline behind the brilliance of the court and the might of its vast army.
