Count Lamsdorff entered the Russian
foreign Office at an early age and rose
rapidly, He was first attached to the
emperor's cabinet, then appointed sec

councillor. When he became minister
one of the his first reforms was to break
the system of shrouding everything in
the cabinet under the veil OF mystery.
