La Russie en 1839, Volume IV by marquis de Astolphe Custine
"La Russie en 1839, Volume IV" by marquis de Astolphe Custine is a travel account published in 1843. After journeying through Russia in 1839, meeting Tsar Nicholas I and other prominent figures, Custine portrays the country as backward and governed by fear and violence. His critical observations of the tsarist regime caused outrage in Saint Petersburg, leading to the book's ban in Russia. The work gained renewed attention during the Cold War
when parallels were drawn between imperial Russia and the Soviet Union. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
