  Karl Nesselrode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nesselrode's German origin was emphasized by his education in a Berlin gymnasium, his father having been appointed ambassador to the Prussian court about 1787.
Nesselrode became State Secretary in 1814 and was the head of Russia's official delegation to Congress of Vienna, but for the most part Alexander I acted as his own foreign minister.
Nesselrode's attempts to expand Russia's influence in the Balkans and Mediterranean led to conflict with Turkey, Britain and France in the Crimean War (1853-1856).

 Nesselrode Pie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The 19th-century Russian count Karl Robert Nesselrode, a resident of Paris, lived and ate lavishly (according to some accounts, anyway), and had a number of dishes named after him.
In honor of the count-cum-statesman's negotiation of the Treaty of Paris in 1856 (which settled the Crimean War), his chef, a certain Monsieur Mouy, created Nesselrode pudding out of custard flavored with maraschino, chestnut purée, and chopped candied fruits that had been macerated in Málaga wine.
According to Carole Walter's Great Pies & Tarts, Nesselrode was popularized in pie form before World War II by Hortense Spier, a professional baker in New York City.

Worse, Nicholas thought that it was, even though Nesselrode warned him that `the fundamental condition of her [Britain's] policy has always been never to make commitments for a more or less uncertain future, but to wait for the event in order to decide what course to adopt'.

The tsar throughout his reign had consistently denounced liberal and revolutionary movements on the ideological grounds, but in 1848 he was faced by a threat to Russian security because of the success of the revolution throughout Central Habsburg Empire and Prussia, to act effectively.
In Bucharest the British consul, Robert G. Colquhoun, similarly approved of the revolution, and he gave his support to the conservative revolutionary groups.
Although he acted as an adviser and as a mediator between the Ottoman and Wallachian representatives, he too did not have the support of his government for an active and aggressive stand.

On the question of world revolution, Trotsky and Karl Radek saw a period of stability in Europe while Stalin and Zinoviev confidently predicted an "acceleration" of revolution in Western Europe in 1924.
Although most closely associated with Leon Trotsky, the call for Permanent Revolution is first found in the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in March 1850, in the aftermath of the 1848 Revolution, in their Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League:
Trotsky's conception of Permanent Revolution is based on his understanding, drawing on the work of the founder of Russian Marxism Georgy Plekhanov, that in 'backward' countries the tasks of the Bourgeois Democratic Revolution could not be achieved by the bourgeoisie itself.
