Abstract

The purpose of the article is to reconstruct an image of the Emperor Nicholas I power in views of his contemporaries, the French: Marquise A. de Custine, who traveled through Russia in 1839, Baron P. de Barant, who served as the Ambassador of France to the Russian Empire from 1835 to 1841, and an artist O. Vernet, who worked in Russia at the personal invitation of the Emperor in 1836 and 1842-1843. That is, they are people of different political views, different fields of occupation, so they perceived the reality of Russia in different ways. But at the same time to all of them the image of Nicholas I power and the image of the sovereign himself appeared similar, and on the whole very attractive. The article is written in the methodology of interdisciplinary synthesis based on the imago-logical approach.
