Resume
The book is dedicated to the analysis of the changing image of Russia in the French press during the Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. The period of 1789–1814 was characterized by a complicated and unstable relationship between Russia and France. The authors focus on the mechanisms of the press functioning and the politics of the state towards it and analyze how publications in central and regional newspapers influenced on the public opinion about the Russian Empire and about certain aspects of its life. In addition to the press materials, the authors used in the research archival documents and other written evidence of the epoch.
In the first chapter the policy of the state towards the press in 17891814, technological aspects of newspapers publishing, sources of the international news and particularity news about Russia are analyzed. The second chapter is dedicated to the discourse about the “Russian threat”, which emerged in the French public opinion in the 18th century.

In the fifth chapter the image of the Russian imperial court and Russian emperors on the pages of the newspapers are analyzed. The figures of the monarchs were described controversially, depending on the phase of the relationship between the states.
The image of Russia on the pages of the French press in the period 1789–1814 was formed in the conditions of military and poiiticaf upheavals. Peaceful periods in French-Russian relations were short-lived and changed by war. Archetypical stereotypes about culture, religion, customs, climate and state institutions of Russia, inherited from the 16th – 17th centuries, developed under the influence of the ideas of the Enlightenment and the republican ideology of the revolutionary France.
At the turn of the 19th century the French society came into direct contact with Russian reality. The Napoleonic military bureaucracy, which put
