Diary (1880-1883). Peretts E.

The diary of E. A. Peretza dates back to years when he, being the Secretary of State, stood closest to government tops and was not only a close witness, but also a participant in the struggle of various trends and groups of supreme power. Therefore, his diary for 1880-1883 is the most important source to study the history of these years-the outcome of the reign of Alexander II and the transition of power to Alexander III.
