Michel Hammer, D. A. Miliutin and Russia's foreign policy.
Russian political staff often comprised dull, second-rate and vainglorious men. This was not the case of Miliutin. The present article endeavours to trace his profile and his military and ministerial activity until his resignation from service.
Miliutin was a brilliant officer, a well-known historian, versed in strategical science, compelling recognition by his brilliant intelligence.
In his post at the War ministry, he played a decisive part in the reforms. Later on he was associated by the tsar Alexander II to the examination of all the foreign policy options in which his influence was often noticeable. However, with time, he came to the conclusion that priority had to be given to the effort of renovation within the country which excluded all foreign adventure. But was it not too late? He thought that the heavy burdens weighing on Russia's fate were of such a nature that great convulsions were unavoidable. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
