Gorchakov was born on the 16th of July 1798 in Estonia, and was educated at the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, where he had the poet Alexander Pushkin as a school-fellow.
During the Polish insurrection Gorchakov rebuffed the suggestions of Britain, Austria and France for assuaging the severities employed in quelling it, and he was especially acrid in his replies to Earl Russell's despatches.
Gorchakov hoped to utilize the complications in such a way as to recover, without war, the portion of Bessarabia ceded by the treaty of Paris, but he soon lost control of events, and the Slavophile agitation produced the Russo-Turkish campaign of 1877-78.

 Assessment - Alexander Gorchakov
Prince Gorchakov devoted himself entirely to foreign affairs, and took no part in the great internal Emancipation reform of 1861 in Russia of Alexander IIs reign.
As a diplomatist he displayed many brilliant qualities: adroitness in negotiation, incisiveness in argument and elegance in style.
In the latter part of his career his main object was to raise the prestige of Russia by undoing the results of the Crimean War, and it may fairly be said that he in great measure succeeded.

In the cases of Napoleon III and Alexander III, rapid economic development was promoted by an authoritarian government; by today's standards, however, theirs were mild forms of authoritarianism.
Conclusion: Back to "Russia Firsters" The thrust of Concept 2000 is that Russia is "consol-idating," to cite Prince Alexander Gorchakov, foreign minister to both Alexander II and III.
To quote Gorchakov again, "circumstances have restored our freedom of action." Countries that pretended to be friends and partners have turned out to be selfish and often hostile.

And if some of Alexander's youthful ardor toward her had cooled and there had been some talk at court about him and a flirtatious lady-in-waiting to the Empress, still he often relied on Maria for advice and support.
In Alexander's time not only were the brick crenelated Kremlin walls painted white, but so were many of the churches and other structures within, including the large new Great Kremlin Palace.
Alexander had finally heeded the advice of his Foreign Minister and others and accepted the terms of his enemies.

His first important mission, in November 1813, was as unofficial Russian ambassador to Switzerland, with the task of helping disentangle the country from the French dominance imposed by Napoleon.
After these brilliant diplomatic successes, Alexander I appointed Capodistria joint Foreign Minister of Russia (with Karl Robert Nesselrode).
He was always keenly interested in the cause of his native country, and in particular the state of affairs in the Seven Islands, which in a few decades’ time had passed from French revolutionary influence to Russian protection and then British rule.

Other kinds of miscalculation or loss of control are also not hard to imagine, and we need to remember that one of the occupational diseases of regimes like North Korea's is that the dictator does not know where to stop.
In justifying them, Gorchakov resorted to the time-honored rationalizations of imperialism, but at the end he observed that "the difficulty lies in knowing where to stop".
Given the institutional pathologies of dictatorial regimes like Stalin's and his successors', as well as those of North Korea, and the nature of contemporary US policy regarding proliferating states, this difficulty is, if anything, substantially greater than it was in 1864.

Immortal Aleksandr Pushkin was one of the first graduates, followed by Alexander Gorchakov and Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin.
In the spring of 1917, Emperor Nicholas II was held under arrest in his favourite residence, the Alexander Palace.

Prince Alexander Gorchakov's name hadn't been mentioned too often in the 20th century, in Russia or elsewhere, until about 10 years ago.
Working under his master, Alexander II -- the "reformist" czar who emancipated Russia's serfs -- Gorchakov took his country from the Peace of Paris, which closed the Black Sea to Russia's warships, to the 1871 Convention of London, which compensated Russia for its losses in the Crimean War.
Primakov was still foreign minister, Itogi magazine's Alexander Golts asked him how the Kremlin's struggles of the moment affected Russia's foreign policy (just then Boris Yeltsin was fighting one of his periodic battles for his political survival).

This policy was not unlike that of Prince Alexander Gorchakov’s concentration after Russia’s defeat in the Crimean war in 1856.
Like Putin, Gorchakov was brutally honest in his characterization of the weakened Russia as a “great, powerless country.”
Today’s Russia, however, is no longer “powerless.” Although much remains to be done in the areas of economy and security, particularly in the North Caucasus, one must register a considerable progress and act on it.
