QR code
"La Russie en 1839, Volume II" by marquis de Astolphe Custine is a travel account published in 1843. After journeying through Russia in 1839, Custine portrays the empire as backward and governed by fear and violence under Tsar Nicolas I. His critical observations, made accessible through connections to high society, created a scandal—banned in Russia but widely read across Europe. The book gained renewed attention during the Cold War when readers noticed
striking parallels between tsarist Russia and the Soviet regime. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
