metadata.value: Using materials from Russian archives as well as from the Leeds Russian Archive (Great Britain),
  this article traces stages of activity of the Russian Political Delegation (RPD). The Delegation was established in
  1919 by the Russian Political Meeting (RPM) in Paris for direct participation in the Versailles Peace Conference.
  Its activities were authorized by Admiral Kolchak, Supreme Ruler of Russia. The article covers the formation of
  the RPD, which included Prince Lvov, N. V. Tchaikovsky, V. A. Maklakov, and S. D. Sazonov. Due to circumstances
  beyond its control, the Delegation did not get the opportunity to participate in the conference, and its international
  activities were quite limited. However, after the dissolution of the Russian Political Meeting, the Russian
  Political Delegation continued its activities, claiming the status of the foreign center of a White Movement. Its
  ranks aggravated the split between public figures and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Movement: social
  activists wanted the government of Omsk to remove S. D. Sazonov. Admiral Kolchak decided to retain control of
  his government over foreign missions, keep S. D. Sazonov as Minister, and asked the delegation to continue its
  work. In fact, in late 1919 and early 1920, the Russian Political Delegation managed to head the foreign mission
  of the White Movement. However, it was unable to cope with problems standing on its agenda. G. E. Lvov and
  N. V. Tchaikovsky, who used the situation of the Delegation members to influence affairs, diligently supported its
  existence. The last statements of the Russian Political Delegation refer to the end of 1920, the period of evacuation
  of the Wrangel’s army from Crimea. Analysis of the RPD’s activities provides an insight into challenges that in
  general were characteristic of the Movement and that eventually played their role in its defeat.
