| Title | Proclamations of Nicholas I. Political ideas, rhetorical strategies, functions. |
| Summary | The thesis explores one of the ways of representation of power in the Russian empire: proclamations or manifestos. The temporal scope of the research is the reign of Nicholas I, one of most contradictory evaluated periods in the Russian history. It consists of five chapters. The first speaks about approaches to the representation of power; the second sets the historical context and describes the proclamations in general. The last three chapters describe different functions of proclamations: legitimization of the imperial power, as a tool of governance and way of propaganda. This case of imperial representation demonstrates the flexibility of the imperial authorities who implemented various ideas and rhetorical figures for different audiences. |
