Return from the Caucasus. 1855-1856. Two trips to St. Petersburg 1863. Muravyov-Karsky N.N.

Notes by N. N. Muravyov-Karsky about his return from the Caucasus in 1855–1856. And two trips to St. Petersburg in 1863 with the rule of Emperor Alexander II in the history of Russia, a completely different era began, and the ants-Karsky felt his untimely and inappropriateness in the new reign, which was reflected in his notes. This period was the zenith of the career of N. N. Muravyov and at the same time by its sunset. Nevertheless, during the formidable danger that hung over Russia in connection with the Polish uprising of 1863, it was the retired general who called to St. Petersburg to organize the defense of the north-west regions of Russia. Bright, sometimes caustic, characteristics of state and military leaders of that era, analysis of documents and plans, description of cities, localities and fortresses - all this and much more on the pages of the book.
