Russia in the late eighteenth century a czar wielding pope and king
The narrative traces imperial Russia’s governance from autocratic power to its divided ministries and local councils. It describes the Privy Council, Empire Council, and eleven ministries, the division of provinces, and the role of nobles and boyars. The journey from Saint Petersburg to Moscow recounts wartime ruins, stark scenery, and the vast religious and architectural landscape. It notes Moscow as a major manufacturing center with numerous churches, cathedrals, and monasteries, and recalls Napoleon’s 1812 invasion, exile routes, and the Sparrow Hills exile prisons, with grim statistics on deportations and endurances. It also briefly touches on abundant American corn production and its economic implications.
