In Marie's diary

  • 1875-06-19 (034.0451, Nice): talking of Russia, Marie says that Émile d'Audiffret «veut aller voir la foire de Nijni-Novgorod».
  • 1876-08-12 (064.0550, Moscow): musing on what the Emperor could do, she says that if he spoke to his people «à Pétersbourg, à Moscou, à Nijni-Novgorod et à Kiev» all Russia would swear loyalty, and that the merchants «(et ils ne sont pas la minorité en Russie)» must be addressed through their interest.
