Who was Andrey Fedorovich Budberg?

Andrey Feodorovich Budberg - also known as Baron Andreas Ludwig Karl Theodor von Budberg-Bönninghausen 1779–1840), a colonel in the Imperial Russian Army and his mother was Helene Juliane von Budberg (1787–1856, daughter of Foreign Minister Andrei Budberg), from an old Baltic German family. After attending the cathedral school at Reval, Budberg continued his education at St Petersburg and entered the Russian diplomatic service in 1841.

In 1845 he was joined the Russian embassy at the German Bundestag in Frankfurt, becoming chargé d'affaires there in 1848. In 1850 he played the same role for Prussia in Berlin, being promoted to ambassador in 1851. In 1856 he became the Russian ambassador to Austria at Vienna, returning to Berlin between 1858 and 1862. Then he was appointed Russian ambassador to France, a role he fulfilled until 1868.

In 1862 with Budberg's agreement the French political police arrested in emissaries of Central National Committee (Komitet Centralny Narodowy), a secret Polish organization, who were returning from London. Just before the January Uprising, the French handed Budberg a list of all conspiring regiments and a description of roads used to smuggle weapons for polish insurgents from abroad.
