metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is the first to introduce into scholarly discourse the unpublished journal
  of S. I. Turgenev (1792–1827) from the Turgenev brothers’ archive at the Institute of
  Russian Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which is a unique collection
  of manuscripts related to the history of Russian-European cultural relations in the first
  half of the 19th century. Turgenev’s journal dates back to 1811, when he, a young ‘liberal,’
  a future diplomat, studied at the University of Göttingen and during his vacation
  travelled to ‘French’ Holland to see with his own eyes Napoleon, who arrived in Amsterdam
  almost at the same time as the Russian student. The deciphered text contains
  a lot of valuable observations about the everyday life of the Dutch people of that time,
  about the organization of socially important public institutions (hospitals, nursing
  homes, orphanages, etc.), about the practical side of organizing travel for foreigners,
  and also includes reflections on the nature of political obedience, on optimal forms
  of government in general and for Holland in particular. Of special interest here is the
  description of the reception given by the people of Amsterdam to the French Emperor,
  whom the Russian traveller regards as the greatest conqueror and at the same time the
  greatest monarch. The journal allows us to trace how his first-hand observations become
  the basis for creating a personal image of Holland, which is further enriched and
  modified on the basis of information obtained from books (O. Goldsmith, A. Smith,
  etc.). The journal shows how all sorts of diverse impressions interact to form a significant intellectual arsenal of a Russian liberal, who is a convinced European. We can see
  how important this intellectual arsenal becomes for his further individual and professional
  development, as evidenced by the later journals of S. I. Turgenev, relating to 1815,
  when he served in Paris, as a member of the Russian expeditionary force, and worked
  on a draft constitution for Russia.
