**Nicholas I Paper due Friday., November 19.**
Sergei Uvarov, the Minister of Education during much of the reign of Nicholas I, articulated the concept of what became known as “Official Nationality.” The three elements of Official Nationality were: Orthodoxy (pravolslavie), Autocracy (samoderzhavie) and Nationality (narodnost).

Write a short paper that answers the following:

For ACP Students: How does Official Nationality create a paradox of policy during the reign of Nicholas I?

For Honors Students, answer the same question with the following additional requirement. Address only the foreign policy of Nicholas I. Craft your answer in the context of multinational agreements including but not limited to the Congress of Vienna and all of the subsequent conferences, the Holy Alliance and the Treaty of Adrianople. Also be sure to include primary source documents including correspondence from Nicholas I to his contemporaries. Obviously you will have to do some research on your own. You must use at lease 2 print sources. Happy hunting.
