Summary/Abstract: A synthetic study of the issues of Russia’s identity, defining the place of its culture and civilization in Europe at the turn of the 18th and 19th century, and the perception of this country in Western eyes. A unique panorama of the “empire of the tsars” emerges from travel accounts, reports, correspondence, as well as literary and artistic works of the members of the intellectual elites of Western Europe visiting Russia.
