Gorchakov Aleksandr Mikhailovich (1798-1883) - first as Foreign Affairs Minister, then later as Chancellor - stood out amongst Russian ministers and their European counterparts. The realization of the liberal reform politics of Alexander II became the goal of his life and the driving purpose in service to the state. The reader of this book surprisingly finds an unexpected and curious relationship between the times of Gorchakov and those of present-day Russia, thus adding special and topical relevance to this book.
