Widowed in 1980 and retired in 1982, Evreinov decided to study the history of Russia, something which had fascinated her late husband. Equally fluent in Russian, French, and English, she was able to immerse herself in the primary sources available in the main branch of the New York Public Library, and in particular its Slavic and Baltic Division. Hence her shock when she began to research the first Russian nineteenth-century sovereign, Alexander I (1801-25), and noticed the enormous amount of data glossed over or not even mentioned in existing works on the subject. She soon understood the reasons.
Two or three generations must elapse before historians can obtain the necessary scholarly detachment. Russian pre-Communist historians were still too close to the developments, still arguing the crucial question Alexander had raised: autocracy or a constitutional regime; their colleagues of Soviet days were operating under strict orders to defame the tsarist past. Western scholars of the first half of the twentieth century relied on the data provided by these two groups; later ones trusted the judgment of their predecessors. The general direction of the resulting texts is remarkably similar, predictably; but is it correct?
Evreinov chooses a different approach. While not discarding the works above, she bases her investigations on primary sources. In foreign affairs, she studies the official correspondence of the major protagonists: heads of state, ministers, generals, and other statesmen; their memoirs, if available; international conventions and treaties; and all with exact quotes for every point. No less important are her analyses of Alexander's legislation in every field: religion, the press, serfdom, social services (including medical care for the poor), criminal justice (including the deportations to Siberia), as well as the large-scale immigration from various European countries. Quoting from hundreds and hundreds of laws, Evreinov paints a comprehensive panorama of early nineteenth-century Russia, a subject virtually ignored by Western historians. Many of the subjects are of relevance today, including the status of the various peoples who comprised the Russian Empire: the Belarussians, the Ukrainians, the Jews, the Asian and other minorities in European Russia, and the people of the Caucasus and Siberia. Succinct historical background notes introduce her analysis of the legislation. In every case she presents all the available pertinent data, thus enabling readers to form their own opinions.
While the book is most scholarly, with over 2,000 reference notes, it is written in an unpretentious style which makes for easy, engrossing reading.

Diritto di recesso
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
