it cannot be said that he did not make mistakes, in general everyone makes mistakes, but he - on the whole very successfully defended the interests of russia in the diplomatic arena, that's plus to that he distinguished himself, which is generally rare for a diplomat, who, so to speak, by profession, is supposed to be flexible and...

toryski, he was responsible for all foreign affairs, well, he did not hide his sympathies towards his native poles, and it is no coincidence that when the uprising of 1830 began, he became the head of this rebellious senate, one of the most important, so to speak, figures of russian

of the ministry of foreign affairs, ion kabadistia, he supervised media relations. "there was not a single russian person left in the positions of ambassadors at the courts of the great powers, all of them were presented exclusively to the germans, who flooded both the college of foreign affairs and the chancelleries of the embassy and mission. talented young diplomats of russian origin were removed one after another from the department, in which the people were given clear preference over them, and if any of the russians remained,

russia, and the germans to me, here alexander ii understood that the situation needed to be changed, in general, on his career, as if two forces were influencing from both sides. well, naturally, they quickly reported this, then suddenly he showed unprecedented activity in order to transfer gorchakov away from himself and sent him, well, but there was also the famous story with benkendor, now i

will quote the recollection of gorchakov himself, he wrote: i did not enjoy the favor of emperor nikolai pavlovich due to the unpleasantness of count nasalrod towards me. for many years i sat in vienna, not receiving the next honorary awards. it is curious that this was facilitated by one insignificant incident, which, however, among the people surrounding the sovereign nikolai pavlovich, i gained a reputation as a liberal, a reputation for that time quite deplorable. once, in the small retinue of the emperor nikolai pavlovich, igraf alexander khristoforovich benkendorf arrived in vienna. in the absence of the envoy, i, who was fulfilling his duty as senior adviser of the embassy, ​​hurried to appear before the count. after a few cold phrases, without inviting me to sit down, he said: "please order the owner of the hotel, for today i have dinner." i calmly approached the bell

and called the metro to the hotel. what does this mean? count benkendorf asked angrily: nothing more, count, than that with the order. victory, you can contact the metro to the hotel yourself, this answer made for me in the eyes of the then all-powerful count benkendorf a reputation as a liberal. actually, because of this character and the attitude of his superiors, first of all nikolai pavlovich, of course, nikolai i, gorchakov sat for 12 years as an envoy in shturgat at the court the würtherberg ruler, then accordingly he was an envoy. at the german federal diet in frankfurt, which generally gathered as a result of the revolution in germany in forty-eight-49, which gorchukov witnessed, in general this experience of sitting in germany gave him quite a lot, this is really so, he called himself connections, one of these connections in frankfurt, it was a connection with the future chancellor of germany,

actually the creator of the german state, ottovon bismarck, and bismarck listened attentively to gorchakov, he was not yet such a major figure as he would become later. and some historians even call gorchakov bismarck's teacher, although this is probably still a bit of an exaggeration. it must be said that gorchukov was an ardent opponent of the crimean war, in this sense, like neselrode, but he was a man of the system and , of course, being an official, he could not resist it, he was inside the system, he worked in it, and so on. after the death of nicholas ii, he essentially began his career.

he recalled: "i was the first in my dispatches to become to use the expression "sovereign and russia". before me, europe had no other concept in relation to our fatherland than the emperor. count neselrodi, mentioned many times today - they continue to quote gorchakov, even sukarizny told me directly, why am i doing this, we only know one tsar, my predecessor said: we don't care about russia, but gorchakov cared about russia, he changed the situation. this was a historical podcast russia-west on the swings of history, with you. were peter romanov and sergei solovyov, study history together with us, all episodes of the podcast russia and the west on

i lived in the women's half, he in the men's, it was an unfavorable period for a wedding, and we waited for almost half a year until this period passed, we communicated at a distance. after the wedding, i already know that for krishnaids, for conception, it is possible, so for pleasure , please, to another union, no, yes, all this happened to you too, yes, that is, you probably didn’t need it, yes, i

didn’t need it, and he, as such , essentially didn’t need it either, and what? are you explaining, because you don’t eat meat, you don’t have the strength for it, or why? because a lot, this is hari-hari, hari krishna, it seems to me that i generally lived for many years with thoughts and the awareness that i am a soul, well, that i am not this body, and it seems to me, well, the child was born after all, you were right, you were happy when the child was born, very much a girl, a boy, girl, what's her name? nayana, how old is she now? 17? beauty, all countries have their own, their own rules, yes, their own signs, signs, again, here they get married in white, and there in india in white, these are widows who enter, yes, therefore everything is so relative, when a father with a desire to see you and your relatives appeared, showed up, just when

nayana was born, she was born like that nayana, did you continue to live in the temple. or did you buy something, rent something, did you have any money at all? we lived at the temple, and family people who they live at the temple, the temple rents them small rooms or some apartments next to the temple, and we lived right next to the temple, we didn’t work, but we served in the temple, my husband served at the altar in the temple, and i just became a photographer when my daughter was born, well, that is, there was some income, well , they fed us in the temple, when the connection was renewed with my sister, with my father, with relatives, or it was not interrupted, you called, wrote with your sister, in fact, our connection was interrupted for one year, when i left for india, to be honest, i didn’t know how to call from there russia, but then one friend told me that you can call, almost from every store, tell me, did you miss russia

in general, did you miss home, the russian language, yes, i really missed russian people, it turns out, she did not communicate with her father, but at the same time her phone was turned off for a year, they were looking for her, they probably put her on the international wanted list, they could not find her, she wanted to attract attention, do you think, love me, love me, what do you want, your love, lived happily, with your sick person, with what, well, with my husband, you lived happily, in fact, yes, he cared very much, that's all that was in his... possibilities, he did everything, tell me, did the girl follow in your footsteps, your daughter? no, when i came from india, i, unfortunately, moved away from all this a little, and how old was your child when you came here? 5 years old, i wonder what kind of daughter she has, if she gave birth to an indian, i wonder, some mulatto girl, probably beautiful, you are returning, you had a place to live, with dad, he accepted her well, everything, very, are you with your father now

you live, yes, and your mother met your granddaughter, of course, yes, and your husband? when i started talking about divorce, and why did you start talking about divorce? because when we initially, initially i came alone with my daughter to russia to visit all the relatives, to see, he was called here, and we realized that i wanted to stay here and began to call him here once a year, he was only given a visa for 3 months, he came, he came, you paid for the trip, everything, yes, accommodation, food, drinking, that is, everything was paid for. when i started living here, i kind of looked for our whole life back i thought that we had changed roles, but that i played the role of a man in our relationship, i must say, and he did not find a use for himself there some kind of work, unfortunately no, because he could not even learn the language, he does not he does not even know the abc, what is it, he does not know, i tried

to study with him, well, you understand, yes, that we only got to the letter d, well, it is clear, it is just that over the years you become. consciously more disgusting and you have more claims and for the future we become a more established person, what did he suddenly present to you for divorce a tidy sum? yes, he presented for divorce, but in fact it was not him, but he was advised in the temple, because at first, when i told him that i wanted a divorce, he cried, he had a sea, swore. why he still has his own head, like you with a child, he will not help you, on the contrary, even with to be honest, this was our last conversation, ksyusha money,

when a man asks for a divorce, to be honest, for me it is very strange.
