The content of the novella is a depiction of the brief reign of Fyodor Alekseevich and the attempts of Tsarevna Sophia to take power into her own hands. The work is interesting today also because it offers an assessment of the personality of Peter the Great and the first years of his reign.
The book “The Teenage Ruler” was very popular; it was read in the tsar’s family. The eldest daughter of Nicholas II, Grand Duchess Olga, on her birthday, November 3, 1915, received this book as a gift.
