In pre -revolutionary liberal, and then in Soviet stereotypes, Emperor Nicholas I seemed exclusively as a strangler of freedom, a rude soldier Nikolai Palkin, "gendarme of Europe", a diving of the Decembrists, Polish patriots, freethinkers and Pushkin, an enemy of technological progress. Many contemporaries considered him an almost ideal sovereign, a fearless officer, a subtle and skillful politician, a codifier, a reformer who built a sustainable vertical of power, a clearly working bureaucratic apparatus, headed by Nikolai himself, who worked around the clock without days off. It was he, the only Russian tsars, who, with the full basis, could say about himself: "The state is me." On the large documentary material and evidence of contemporaries, the author understands the features of this contradictory figure of Russian history and its era
