About the author

The events that followed the storm of the twelfth year, the collapse of Napoleon's empire, the famous hundred days, peoples striving for freedom and monarchs trying to restore the old order - this is the historical backdrop against which a picture emerges of a great diplomatic game, where the stakes were the fate of European nations, and the main participants were Talleyrand, Metternich and Alexander I. The reader is presented with the interweaving of the actions of overt and covert diplomacy, the emergence and collapse of coalitions and, at the same time, the struggle around the problems that vividly echoed the problems of our time. The book, based on the material of Soviet and foreign archives, reveals the class content of the decisions of the Congress of Vienna, which had a great impact on international relations of the entire historical era.
