Russia On the Congress of Vienna

We feel that the Congress of Vienna was an absolutely vital and conducive in helping keep the peace throughout the many countries of Europe. We have been kept in isolation in so long from the Western world. We wanted to branch out and explore new territories, expand into new and uncharted land, and ultimately adapt to the new cultures, reforms, and policies that have been rapidly spreading throughout Europe. Because we are so far east, we are isolated from most of the current events that are taking place every day. This Congress of Vienna has helped us gain new territory, we have taken part in controlling new lands, and now we have finally extended our influence westward. We finally now have an effective and extensive control over Finland and the entire kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy. This is exactly what we wanted since we definitely wanted to extend much of our influence westward, and what better, the kingdom of Poland. We now have exceeded our own personal limits. We can intervene in certain affairs and we can also experience new cultures, along with extending our own influence amongst surrounding countries. The peace will now hopefully be kept throughout the countries of Europe since France has been deprived of the many lands it had taken during its treacherous revolution. Overall, we are happy with the outcome of the Congress of Vienna and hope to extend more of our influence westward.
