Senile[edit]

Was he not virtually senile by the time of the Congress of Berlin?Paulturtle (talk) 01:23, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No he was not. --Ghirla^-трёп- 07:19, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some books say that he was. I'm happy to take your word for it that this is an exaggeration, although he was obviously old by then (and is famously sitting in the famous portrait of the statesmen at the Congress). Presumably his biographies go into the matter of his physical and mental powers in some detail - perhaps it might be worth adding a sentence or two to scotch the myth.Paulturtle (talk) 13:22, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Minister of foreign affairs[edit]

This section seems to rely heavily on the old Britannica publication from 1911 and the 1893 Russian BE encyclopedia: maybe update it a bit? Like the (slightly more recent) work of Dietrich Geyer on the connections between internal and foreign affairs of Russia, or even Andreas Renner's book on the public sphere and nationalism, with its various internal/external 'questions': Italian, Polish, Baltic German, Prussian. Also, expand on Gorchakov's idea of Russia's 'special mission' in Asia - contrasted with its more European neutrality policy in the same period. Quite accessible publication could be Schimmelpenninck van der Oye's chapter on Russia's foreign policy in the Cambridge History of Russia, vol. 2. I'm sure there are more recent works on Gorchakov I'm not familiar with. Just saying. 2001:1C02:190D:6300:657E:B8CE:E652:E2ED (talk) 15:17, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
