Saint Petersburg (Russia)

This collection covers for the most part Robert Sanderson McCormick's diplomatic careers in Vienna, St. Petersburg, and Paris. These papers will be of value to scholars interested in business history of the 1870s and 1880s, and in diplomatic conditions and negotiations of the period 1901-1907. Of particular interest are papers relating to the Russo-Japanese war, which afford glimpses of the political, diplomatic and social conditions of the times.

Notable landmarks include the Atlanteans of the Hermitage Gallery, Gorokhovaya Street with a view of the Admiralty Building, Aleksander's Palace in St. Petersburg, and the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow.
