The portraiture of Vladimir Borovikovsky. He was a court painter at the time of Tsaritsa Yekaterina Veliki, and Tsars Pavel Petrovich and Aleksandr Pavlovich. That is, he was active during the time of the Napoleonic Wars, which only ended after the abortive French invasion of Russia, and the victorious campaigns of the Russian-led coalition afterwards (called the First Great Patriotic War in Russia). These are the faces of the élite that led Russia to victory and safeguarded the homeland from the "democracy" of the French Revolutinaries.

The music is the Grand Valse Brillante in A flat major, op 34 nr 1 played by everyone's favourite enfant terrible, Yevgeny Kissin.
