La Russie en 1839, Volume I by marquis de Astolphe Custine
"La Russie en 1839, Volume I" by marquis de Astolphe Custine is a travel account published in 1843. After visiting Russia in 1839, meeting Tsar Nicholas I and other prominent figures, Custine depicts the country as backward and governed by fear and violence. Though banned in Russia, the work achieved great success across Europe. His observations proved remarkably prescient, later drawing comparisons between tsarist Russia and the Soviet regime during the Cold
War. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
