Today we're going to look at what Tilsit actually meant first of all for Russia.
What it did to the domestic mood, what it meant economically, how it left a messy war with the Ottomans (yes, Russia nd Turkey were at it gain), hanging in mid-air
We will also be covering what the reform minded civil servant Mikhail Speransky was quietly trying to do in the background.
And then finally, we’ll examine the hairline cracks that were starting to appear with regard to the Franco-Russian relationship and how they started to impact upon the bigger European picture.
