The Essay about two pages concerning Nicholas I, Muravyov-Amursky and Nevelskoy
Sergei Sergeyevich discovered that Henri Troyat wrote a historical work about Nicholas the First.
However, how Sergei Sergeyevich tried to find and glance this work, this plan did not work out.
But it turned out that Dmitry Merezhkovsky also wrote about Nicholas the First. This work Sergei Sergeevich found without difficulty.
Dear Merezhkovsky what wrote about relations between Pushkin and Nicholas the First? Somehow very laconically Merezhkovsky on this subject wrote. You read, read, and you succeed to read up nothing.
But Sergei Sergeyevich met the description by Merezhkovsky of the Emperor's dreams (that is, a sleeping visions).
It's funny...
Also there is a reference to Smirnova-Rosset ... Allegedly Nicholas Pavlovich constantly saw Lermontov in a sleeping visions...
Sergei Sergeevich tried to find something about the dreams Nicholas First (concerning Lermontov) in diaries and memoirs of Smirnova-Rosset. Nothing was found except the dream of Paul the First...
But, still the looking for a book about Nicholas the First was quite successful.
Was discovered a book by Leonid Vyskochkov "Nicholas I", published in 2006 in "the Life of of remarkable people" series.
Again, Sergei Sergeyevich is looking for a name of Pushkin.
Yes, there is a separate Chapter ("This is my Pushkin").
What does it say?
Nikolai Pavlovich summoned Pushkin from exile... Attitude to Pushkin was changing, fluctuating...
Access to the archives was opened for Pushkin. Nikolai Pavlovich paid him money...
Nicholas I gave Pushkin the lowest court title - Gentlemen of the Chamber ... But rules were a such - the Emperor could not violate them ...
Pushkin had a lot of a gambling debts...
At Nikolai Pavlovich was something with Pushkin's wife, but - a nothing serious ...
The Emperor took the word from Pushkin that Pushkin will not to duel with d'Anthès. But Pushkin did not keep the word of the nobleman.
Before a duel the Emperor had a conversation with the wife of Pushkin ... He warned her that she must behave herself more carefully, not give reason for gossip...
He paid debts after the duel of Pushkin. He financially supported Pushkin's family.
And the widow of Pushkin married Lansky...
What does the book say next?
Next - stormy theatrical activity...
Flashed "The Government Inspector" ("The Inspector General")... Something about the Gogol's requests about pension ... "I don't forgive him the words ans phrases too rough and low"... Not a lot, but gave - Smirnova-Rosset petitioned...
It was not possible to meet a mentions of Lermontov.
Two pages are devoted to the topic ""What, you sold a lot on Kyakhta?": On the Far Eastern borders."
Gennady Nevelskoy, Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky... People strived, seeked, attempted ... Nicholas I did not interfere with them...
Nothing, of course, is told, - and why at these vigorous people everything turned out ? ... But England, anyway, is mentioned ...
The Treaty of Kulja (with China) of 1851 ...
The Treaty of Aigun (1858), the Treaty of Tientsin (1858), the Convention of Peking (1860) are signed already at time of Alexander the Second ...
Interesting detail, - nevertheless Vyskochkov couldn't keep himself, - "After" opening" Japan for Europeans under cannons of a navy squadron of the commodore Perry in 1854, also the first Russian-Japanese contract was signed" ...
It was somehow easier to go not against Europe, and - together with Europe ...
The interesting, probably, book, but Sergei Sergeyevich had no desire to read it in whole ...
Whether you wish to learn how the writer Kukolnik before the omnipotent monarch trembled? How not to tremble? Shevchenko was made a soldier, and Chaadayev was declared the madman ... You want - you do not want - you will begin to tremble with fear ...
Some abstract statements of Leonid Vyskochkov in a style of respect, approval, or admiration...
The country is big, the period of being in power is long - it would be strange if there was nothing to admire...
When Sergei Sergeyevich was looking for mention of Lermontov (or about a sleeping visions of Nicholas the First concerning Lermontov) in the memoirs and diaries by Smirnova-Rosset, in the book by Rosset a phrase was found:
"Our respectable priest Popov wrote me from London: "The strange fate of our poets-philosophers and philosophers-poets, they as though do not get on on our earth and fly away on wings pigeon to the best country. With Pushkin we lost the great poet, with Gogol - the great writer"".
Yes ... "One Lermontov sang harmoniously according the own fashion, - for what he was punished and sent to the Caucasus" (ibid).
The Black Sea Straits (the Turkish Straits), it seems, was close... But the elbow is nearby, but not possible to bite...
Strange peculiarities of European policy, participation in the Hungarian events...
Crimean war...
"Thanks to Muravyov-Amursky and Nevelskoy ... Nikolay the First did not disturb these people, perhaps, supported - for what it is possible and to tell thanks ...", - Sergei Sergeyevich reflected. - 'The two pages from the 694 pages of the book by Leonid Vyskochkov are devoted to this subject ...'.
"A historical vermicelli from a family, household details, theatrical events, mentions of considerable historical achievements ...", - Sergei Sergeyevich tried to formulate a summary.
