The Romanov dynasty ruled Russia for more than 300 years. The last representatives of the reigning family are spoken of in different ways. Someone loves and honors them, and someone blames them for all the tragedies that happened to Russia at the beginning of the XX century, blaming them for the death of the empire. However, both of them, speaking of the last Romanovs, primarily mean Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna. But the crowned couple is only the tip of the ruling dynasty. In fact, at the end of the Russian Empire, the Romanov dynasty consisted of many grand dukes and princesses who served for the benefit of Russia, but remained in the shadow of the bright and tragic fate of the imperial family. The book 'The Last Romanovs. Family life. The End of the Empire' will allow you to look beyond the veil that separated the members of the imperial family from ordinary mortals. You will learn about the feelings, thoughts and fears of those who were not supposed to show them by status; you will learn about friendship, disappointments and life in that closed circle called the imperial court.Elena Tyutrina is a historian with many children and the author of the blog @mama_v_istorii. She lovingly tells about the history of Russia, and also, together with her family and readers, recreates the cultural heritage - restores the house that once belonged to the Rukavishnikov gardener in the Rozhdestveno estate park.The book is published in the author's edition, contains the author's own view and position on the events described in the book.The position of the publisher may not coincide with the position of the author. The book uses photographs of reproductions and archival documents.The book is ideal for those who appreciate a "lively" approach to history, preferring a non–trivial narrative to strict chronology and dry facts - an appeal to the characters, portraits and fates of outstanding personalities who influenced the course of history.The author of the book writes fascinatingly about the last Romanovs, referring to letters and rich documentary sources, focusing on the "inner life" of the imperial house, where politics and the struggle for power are closely intertwined with the personal tragedies of each of the representatives of the royal family.
