General Dmitry Sergejevich Levshin: Russian General Consul in Srbija 1849—1851

General Dmitry Sergeevich Levshin (1801—1871) was the third consul of Russia in the Principality of Serbia, after G. V. Vashchenko and G. I. Danilevsky. He held a diplomatic post in Belgrade from the summer of 1849 until the late fall of 1851. Political and diplomatic relations between Serbia and Russia in the 40s — 50s of the 19th century were characterized by mutual distrust. According to Serbian sources, Consul Levshin took a tough stance towards the Serbian government and especially towards the then pro-Western-oriented Ilia Garashanin. The article analyzes Levshin’s consulship in Belgrade on the basis of Serbian sources, mainly those preserved in the Serbian State Archives in Belgrade.
