9.7    TREATY OF SAN STEFANO

Treaty of San Stefana* 19 Fsbntary/3 Marcb 18”8 •

Memorandum for tbe Britisb Gabinet, 3 May 18"8

The Russo-Turkish peace was signed in the Constantinople suburb of San Stefano, with the Russian achance force only a day's march from the Ottoman capital. The Russian negotiator was Count Nicholas Ignatiey, architect of the Treaty of Peking (Document 6.4d), who had served as Russia s ambassador in Constantinople between 1864 and 1877, and who now had "the chance of remodelling the Ottoman Empire according to his taste."20 Ignatiev seized this chance with gusto. His political orientation was decidedly Pan-Slav—a liability in his relations with his own fbreign ministry, given the cosmopolitan orientation of Gorchakov and the senior members ot the diplomatic corps. Ignatiev’s first mistake may have been to ignore Gorchakov's suggestion that tor now, to avert the suspicion of the other Great Powers, he conclude only a protocol rather than a full-fledged peace treaty. But far morę troubling questions were whether or how lgnatiev s treaty met Russia's obligations to Austria-Hungary under the Budapest con-vention (Document 9.5) and whether it allayed the fears of other powers. In lgnatiev's defense, it might be argued that the ‘Big Bułgaria" envisioned by the Treaty of San Stefano was to remain tributary to the Porte and hence would not be a "state" in the technical sense.
