Abstract

The Diplomacy of the Protocol
April 12, 1877 issue

add to cart   close window

The mission of Russian diplomat General Michael Ignatieff is the almost exclusive topic of interest. The general himself is the lion of the day. He is still young, though nearly bald. People try to read the secret of the future in his Slavic face, in his soft and at the same time piercing eyes, in the odd smile of his thick and almost sensual lips. His talk is incessant, full of simplicity, of grace, of apparent spontaneity. He was explaining to somebody that Russia had no intentions towards Turkey, quite the contrary, if she asked Turkey to make reforms, it was for her own good.
