Romanovs: Loyalty and Betrayal

«Romanovs: Loyalty and Betrayal» — simultaneously an adventure novel and a documentary narrative, a kaleidoscope novel, in which the overall picture of the early 20th century is formed from a mosaic of episodes and scenes.

The authors follow not only the Romanovs — the emperor, his brother, the widowed empress, the sister of the queen, Elizabeth, but also the fates of individual officers who planned to rescue the family. Alongside them are the images of Grigori Rasputin, Bishop Hermogen, the rulers of Europe, and — the assassins of the tsar.

The right to turn this kaleidoscope remains with the readers. Undoubtedly, even those who consider themselves «experts» of this dramatic period in Russian history will discover many new things because it is impossible to embrace the incommensurable. An epic film has been made based on the novel, in which the characters of the book reveal their images on screen.

Watch the film, read the book — compare the impressions of what you saw and read.
