Napoleon today is still a figure who fascinates both his admirers and detractors because of his seminal role in European history at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries, straddling the French Revolution and the enormous empire that he fashioned through military conquest. Napoleon in the Russian Imaginary focuses on the response of Russia’s greatest writers—poets, novelists, critics, and historians—to the idea of “Great Man” as an agent of transformational change as it manifests itself in the person and career of Napoleon. After Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1815 and his subsequent exile to St. Helena, in much of Europe a re-evaluation of Napoleon’s person, stature, and historical significance occurred, as thinkers and writers witnessed the gradual reestablishment of repressive regimes throughout Europe.

Napoleon in the Russian Imaginary
This re-evaluation in Russia would have to wait until Napoleon’s death in 1821, but when it came to pass, it continued to occupy the imagination of Russia’s greatest writers for over 130 years. Although Napoleon’s invasion of Russia and subsequent defeat had a profound effect on Russian culture and Russian history, for Russian writers what was most important was the universal significance of Napoleon’s desire for world conquest and the idea of unbridled ambition which he embodied. Russian writers saw this, for good or ill, as potentially determining the spiritual and moral fate of future generations.
