Life and diplomatic activity of Count S.R. Vorontsov

The book is devoted to the representative of the old nobility of Vorontsov. It traces the military and diplomatic activities of Count S.R. Vorontsov, who made an invaluable contribution to the development of Russian-British relations at the end of the XVIII - the first quarter of the XIX century. For S.R. Vorontsova, the honor and good name were more expensive than life, more expensive than all material goods. These principles he handed over to his son - General Field Marshal, a bright prince M.S. Vorontsov. Based on previously not published archival materials in the book, interesting and low-disgraced facts are given from the history of Russian-British political, economic and cultural ties
