ZEIT Geschichte 2017/3: Die Macht der Lüge

Viel über Fälschungen. Inhaltsverzeichnis (PDF).

Noch nicht bekannt war mir die Fälschung des Testaments Zar Peter des Großen, die von Andreas Molitor S. 34-37 dargestellt wird. In der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia ist nur eine kurze Notiz dazu zu finden mit Hinweis auf eine Publikation von 1870.

Mehr dazu (aber kaum Besseres) gibt es in der englischen und finnischen Wikipedia.

Zitat:
“Initially, circumstantial evidence pointed to
Napoleon as the author or inspirer of the fabrication, since it was in 1812 in
France that the first publislhed version of this document appeared.2 Soon,
however, suspicion fell on C. L. Lesur, one of the emperor’s propagandists
and the author of the work which contained the published text. In 1912, on
the centennial of the publication of the document, thle matter took a sensational
turn. A descendant of a late eighteenth-century Polish emigre revealed that
his ancestor General Michat Sokolnicki presented to the French Directory in
1797 a memorandum which included a text almost identical to the one published
by Lesur during Napoleon’s campaign against Russia. This was enough to
convince many hiistorians that the case was solved and the author of the
fabrication was unmasked. However, in the opinion of other, notably Soviet,
scholars an even better candidate was the Chevalier Charles d’Ron, a colorful
and scandalous courtier of Louis XV.”
