It was not, however, according to his own account, till he met the Baroness de Krüdener — a religious adventuress who made the conversion of princes her special mission—at Basel, in the Autumn of 1813, that his soul found peace.
From this time a mystic pietism became the avowed force of his political, as of his private actions.

However, the constitution did not define the territorial status of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and those districts did not vote in the presidential and legislative elections that followed in November.
