Mikhail Tchaikovsky - Sadyk Pasha, one of the most popular Polish writers of the last century and an active political figure, spent 30 years of his life in the Turkish Empire. He first arrived in Constantinople in 1841 as a political agent of Prince Adam Czartoryski. Brave, energetic, mobile, he undertook a number of journeys around the European part of the empire and soon began to orient himself very well on a number of issues related to the political situation and the way of life of the enslaved Balkan peoples. His close connections with Konstantin Ognyanovich (for some time - Tchaikovsky's assistant), Neofit Bozveli and Ilarion Makariopolsky, along with his close cooperation with some prominent Serbian politicians (Vučić, Petronović) and the Serbian diplomatic representative in Constantinople - Lazar Teodorović, deepened and consolidated his knowledge.
