		During a stay in Paris in September 1820, Mikhail Semyonovich took an unexpected step: although he had never been to the Crimea, he nevertheless, on the recommendation of Count Richelieu, bought from the director of the Nikita botanic gardens lands in Martyan and Ai-Danil, on the southern shores of the Crimea.
		I believe that this invective is not entirely fair in the case of Mikhail Semyonovich, although it is true that he began the colonisation of the south coast by the Russian gentry.
		Vorontsov made use of all the cultural and natural potential at his disposal, from top to bottom, and yet managed to retain comfort and, I believe, a particular sense of discreetness.

		Vorontsov looked fresh and cheerful even at the age of seventy, although he was troubled by an eye disease and suffered from the cold.

		Mikhail Semyonovich was brought up by loving and attentive people, and educated by a selection of hand-picked tutors.

		Vorontsov was an energetic and dynamic administrator, happy only when he had a number of projects on the go, or when he had some challenge to meet.

		Vorontsov was, typically, fully involved in the project at every stage, and carefully discussed the details of the planned design with Edward Blore's site architect, William Hunt.

		In 1759, his uncle, the grand chancellor Mikhail Illarionovich Vorontsov, sent him to Strasbourg, Paris and Madrid to train him in diplomacy.
		This was the period of the triumph of the Vorontsovs, who had always insisted on the necessity of a close union with Austria and Great Britain, in opposition to Panin and his followers, who had leaned on France or Prussia till the outbreak of the French Revolution made friendship with France impossible.
		Vorontsov was also an implacable opponent of Napoleon, whose "topsy-turvyness" he was never weary of denouncing.

		These were divided into three main armies - the First Army of the West (commanded by General Mikhail Barclay de Tolly) of some 159,800 men, the Second Army of the West (commanded by General Pyotr Bagration) numbering 62,000, and the Third Army of the West (commanded by General Tormasov) numbering about 58,200.
		Political pressure on Barclay to give battle and the general's continuing resistance (viewed as intransigence by the populace) led to his removal from the position of commander-in-chief to be replaced by the boastful and popular Mikhail Illarionovich Kutuzov.
		Despite Kutuzov's rhetoric to the contrary, he continued in much the way Barclay had, immediately seeing that to face the French in open battle would be to sacrifice his army pointlessly.
