Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The author set out to reconstruct the secret political activities of Empress Catherine II’s close friend, Princess E. R. Dashkova, in the third quarter of the 18th century, following the palace coup on 28 June 1762. Empress Catherine II’s closest friend and the future head of two Academies carefully concealed this aspect of her multifaceted activities and did not tell anything about it in her famous Memoirs. The author of the article managed to establish that during her first trip abroad, the stateswoman of the Russian monarch, who was in a semi-basement, carried out a secret mission entrusted to her by the empress. The essence of this mission was to neutralize, through personal contacts with the luminaries of the Enlightenment, Diderot and Voltaire, the negative perception of the image of Russia created in the works of K.-K. Ruhlier and J.-B. Chappe d’Autroche, and convince European public opinion that the works of these French authors who have visited Russia are, in fact, lampoons.
