Armand Emmanuel du Plessis, 5th Duc de Richelieu (1766?1822), received in Russia the name Emmanuel Osipovich and was depicted in bronze as the Duke.

Returning to devastated France, he as head of government Cabinet led exhausting battles for the independence and welfare of the country, but did not become a courtier and remained 'strangers'. His boundless capacity to love was forced to live on the edge of his dream of personal happiness.
