Description

November 1919. In the country that had once been called the Russian Empire, the Civil War raged. The Bolsheviks moved the capital from St. Petersburg to Moscow and celebrated the second anniversary of their victory in the “cradle” of the Moscow tsars. The city was covered with portraits of the new leaders and with red bunting. In those difficult, hungry times, the son of Prince V—, a Rurikid descendant, came into possession of a unique document— the personal diary of Emperor Alexander II: a diary in which the emperor meticulously described not only the many assassination attempts on his life, but also the true story of his last, passionate and frantic love. But the problem is: the diary contains not a single word about Prince V himself, and yet it was he who was not only a witness, but also a direct participant in the complicated intrigue that led to the Emperor’s tragic death. Deciding to correct this annoying misunderstanding in order to create a complete picture, the prince combines the Emperor’s diary with his own notes relating to the events described.

Don’t miss the new audiobook of Edward Radzinsky’s novel “The Prince. Notes of a Stool Pigeon. The Murder of the Emperor”—because besides a reliably captivating plot and the author’s mastery, you’ll meet two magnificent actors, without exaggeration—among the best voices in Russia: Alexander Klyukvin and Sergey Chonishvili. These two “golden” voices have met before in our edition of Boris Akunin’s novel “The Diamond Chariot.” Listeners and critics highly praised the star duo. We hope this new work—with all the ingredients of success—will also give audiobook fans hours filled with vivid impressions and deep empathy for the heroes.
