Synopsis
Excerpt from The Burton Holmes Lectures, Vol. 8 of 10
Conspicuous figure among contemporary nations. The world, amazed by the achievements of Russian diplomacy, is asking what the Muscovite will next attempt and do for what the Muscovite attempts he does. Russia invariably replies, with courteous and modest words, that she is planning no surprise, and has in view no ends save the welfare of her people and the preservation of universal peace.
