Envoys are where it's at, even the Czarina thinks so!
Also:
The empress read foreign newspapers with special curiosity. Excerpts from them were made for her so that she could keep up with the most important European rumors and scandals.
I must say, I'm tickled by the idea that Elizaveta must have been having excerpts made of many of the same rumors and scandals that we're having excerpts of made!

(I definitely do feel as spoiled as an empress, though! I am like "wouldn't it be nice if someone catered to my every whim to keep up with the most important European rumors and scandals??" And... yes! Yes, it is very nice! <3 :D )

Date: 2022-08-09 01:26 pm (UTC)I feel equally spoiled myself! I even get special request write-ups! And of course, if not for you asking questions and waxing enthusiastic, Selena and I would not have spent 3 years just telling each other about history, it would not have been nearly as much fun. :D <3
