The Romanovs. Hostages of Fate

The book by the famous Russian historian, Doctor of Historical Sciences Alexander Nikolaevich Bokhanov (1944—2019) tells about the fates of the Romanov dynasty. In brief essays, the author sketches portraits of Russian monarchs from Mikhail Fyodorovich to Nicholas II. This book does not contain reflections on the state service of the monarchs, which have become tiresome in their evaluations of the "role in history" of various crowned rulers of Russia. It is a story about the little-known pages of the history of the House of Romanov.
