A firsthand account of Russia’s wartime diplomacy through the eyes of one of its key actors—Prince Grigorii Nikolaevich Trubetskoi, who served as Russian envoy to Serbia during World War I. Written in the old orthography and supplemented by period photographs and a portrait of the author. Trubetskoi's life reads like a chronicle of the Russian collapse and diaspora: from his role in the All-Russian Church Council (1917–1918) to his service under Denikin and eventual exile in France. His perspective on Balkan affairs, wartime alliances, and the moral tension of diplomacy amid revolution makes this volume essential for researchers of Russian-Serbian relations, the Eastern Front, and the early émigré community’s intellectual output.
