قسطنطنیه
According to Olga Maiorova, one of the first was a diplomat posted to Constantinople, Vladimir Titov.41 Like a number of his colleagues at the Foreign Ministry, Titov was also active in St Petersburg's literary life.
As he explained in a letter to a friend: 'Only the life of Constantinople ... only this multifaceted existence could satisfy my intolerably refined tastes.'63
After all, as Leontev cautioned, 'no Polish rising, no Pugachev revolt can bring more harm to Russia than a most orderly and legal democratic constitution'.66 With its capital in Tsargrad (Constantinople) rather than St Petersburg, the greater Russia he envisioned 'would be more cultured, that is, more true to itself; it would be less rational and less utilitarian, that is, less revolutionary'.67 This new realm might well incorporate the other Slavs, but it would also join with it many Asian peoples, including Turks, Indians and Tibetans, thereby preserving its fundamentally eastern character.
