The Last Romanovs. The Life of the Family. The End of the Empire

The Romanov dynasty ruled Russia for over 300 years. The last representatives of the royal family are spoken of in different ways. Some love and venerate them, while others blame them for all the tragedies that befell Russia in the early 20th century, holding them responsible for the downfall of the empire.However, both sides, when talking about the last Romanovs, primarily refer to Nicholas II and Alexandra Fyodorovna. Yet, the royal couple is just the tip of the ruling dynasty. In reality, at the sunset of the Russian Empire, the Romanov dynasty consisted of many grand dukes and duchesses who served the good of Russia but remained in the shadow of the bright and tragic fate of the imperial family. The book The Last Romanovs. The Life of the Family. The End of the Empire will allow you to look behind the veil that separated members of the imperial family from ordinary mortals. You will learn about the feelings, thoughts, and fears of those who, by their status, were not supposed to show them; you will discover friendship, disappointments, and life in that closed circle known as the imperial court.
