The Life and Diplomatic Activity of Count Semyon Romanovich Vorontsov. From the History of Russian-British Relations

The book is dedicated to a representative of the ancient noble family of Vorontsovs. It traces the military and diplomatic activities of Count S.R. Vorontsov, who made an invaluable contribution to the development of Russian-British relations in the late 18th - the first quarter of the 19th century. For S.R. Vorontsov, honor and a good name were more precious than life itself, more precious than all material goods. These principles were passed on to his son - General Field Marshal, Prince M.S. Vorontsov. Based on previously unpublished archival materials, the book presents interesting and little-known facts from the history of Russian-British political, economic, and cultural ties.
