I have to say that I'm surprised that this article is taken at all seriously. It reads to me like nationalistic myth-making rather than considered historical research - broad brush statements without supporting evidence. Britain can rightfully be accused of many underhand dealings throughout history, and I clearly don't know if there was any involvement in Paul's murder, but to portray the state of Russia as the weaker, put-upon party, strikes me to be nothing more than nationalist propoganda.
This is not meant to diminish the huge part that Russia played in the defeat of Napoleon's dreams of domination, but a little more impartial analysis of the events of that time would make this article rather more plausible.
