A declaration that the losing side in this war “was not sulking but meditating” names a period known as recueillement (“ruh-koy-MAHN”), during which glasnost took on its current political meaning. Lenin argued this war’s loser faced a choice between the “American” and “Prussian” roads when ending an “ill” targeted by Alexander Gorchakov. Nikolai Pirogov developed a system to triage casualties of (10[1])this war, (10[2])while another person developed (10[1])a (10[1])polar (10[2])area (10[4])diagram (10[7]-5[1])to track disease during it.
