Abstract

The dawning of the fateful year of 1848 found Nicholas laid low with influenza accompanied by a high fever. Throughout Europe it had been a bitterly cold winter; in Saint Petersburg a piercing south-west wind which had sprung up in the previous December had kept the temperature down to 14° Fahrenheit. During the Tsar’s illness his eldest son, Alexander, had deputised for him until he too fell ill. The indisposition of the Tsar and his heir made it even more difficult than usual for Nicholas’ ministers to obtain approval for decrees and despatches sent to Russian missions abroad.
