Count F. G. Golovkin came from the noble Golovkin family, whose rise was associated with Peter I. Thanks to his noble origin, Count Fedor found himself close to the Russian throne, at the court of European monarchs. On the pages of Golovkin’s memoirs, written on the basis of diary entries, stands a panorama of Europe and Russia at the turn of the 18th–19th centuries, personified by iconic figures of that time. This publication differs from the first editions, since the main text includes those fragments of memoirs that were not included in the previous ones. Thus, this publication represents the most complete collection of memoirs of F. G. Golovkin.
