The fundamental work of the famous Russian historian, Professor Nikolai Alekseevich Troitsky (1931 - 2014) is presented to the attention of readers. The book was the result of his many years of research on the Napoleonic theme and the history of Russian-French relations. This is not just a biography of an outstanding statesman, but also a valuable historiographical source, reflecting an important milestone in the history of the study of Napoleonic issues in Russia. The work of N. A. Troitsky is extremely polemical. He deliberately highlights the most pressing issues, as if pushing his opponents into discussion. The second volume (“Emperor Napoleon”) tells about the life of Napoleon from the day of his coronation to his death on the island of St. Helena. The book is intended for researchers, graduate students and university students and everyone who is interested in Napoleonic problems.
