Abstract

The article is devoted to the ensuring the neutrality of the states of the German Confederation in 1854, for which Russia, in addition to the efforts of its diplomats, resorted also to unofficial but demonstrative initiatives. Among them was the trip of the aide-de-camp of Emperor Nicholas I, Colonel Nikolai Vasilyevich Isakov with a special mission to Bavaria, Württemberg and Saxony. This trip took place in a particularly difficult situation of the growth of Austria’s militant rhetoric and the uncertainty regarding the Russian reaction to it. Isakov’s trip, therefore, despite its formal courier purpose, played a significant informational and communicative role in the dialogue between Russia and the German states. It is shown in the article that Isakov enjoyed the great attention of various politicians and diplomats during his visits to the German capitals, participating in conversations with them on various political topics, collecting information and giving numerous explanations about the goals and objectives of Nicholas’ policy in the escalating military conflict. These contacts allowed German politicians and Russian diplomats to better guide themselves in the tense situation when Austria’s pressure was put on both Russia and the German Confederation.
