Andrey Fedorovich Budberg

Andreas Ludwig Karl Theodor Freiherr[1] von Budberg-Bönninghausen (Russian: Андрей Фёдорович Будберг; born Riga, 1 January 1817 – died St Petersburg, 28 January 1881) was a Russian Empire diplomat.

After attending the cathedral school at Reval, Budberg continued his education at St Petersburg and entered the Russian diplomatic service in 1841.

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.

He was also closely connected with Count Karl Robert von Nesselrode, Grand Duke Konstantin and Baron Wadenstierna.
