>As the Ensign marched forward, bearing the eagle and the flag, those grizzled warriors, says Caulaincourt, who many a time had watched unflinching while their own blood trickled from wounds, could not now restrain their tears. They cried openly. Tears too came to the eyes of the British, Austrian, and Prussian commissioners; only the Russian seemed unaffected

Where have you got this quote from lad?

This is probably slav hatred, regardless there could be some truth to it. The Russian delegation might just have been more stoic, un-apologetically masculine - even if it appeared less civilized and magnanimous.
Characters in War and Peace aside, I suspect, given the events immediately preceding his first abdication, it was noticeably less fashionable for Russians to view Napoleon sympathetically than in the UK, Austria or even Prussia.

People often forget this, the Tsar's father was actually assassinated by a cabal of largely foreign officers, conspirators included:
> Half-Spanish, half-Neapolitan (actually Irish) adventurer Admiral Ribas.
> Georgian noble, prince & Russian general Vladimir Mikhailovich Yashvil
> Hanoverian devotee to Alexander - August von Bennigsen
While it's true that a large proportion of the officers and indeed nobility were ethnically not Russian, accounts often don't make that distinction. I don't know what the source of this quote it seems a bit sensationalist.

austrians and english and prussians had the foresight to recognize the historical significance and the heart to recognize the honour (england wasnt invaded but very involved still)
