The Romanovs in Love
4 hrs. 40 min.
Description
Adventurers and knights, brutes and romantics, fateful beauties and sweet little simpletons…
The Romanovs were very different, but how unlucky they were in love! Happy marriages were the exception, mutual sympathy was a huge rarity. Fairy-tale riches and a noble surname turned out to be the worst enemies of true happiness and a calm private life. “The position demands it”—those words became the Romanovs’ family curse.
However, some of our heroes sacrificed the interests of the state to love… Here unfolds an engaging and piercingly sad story of a dynasty from the seventeenth century and almost up to our own days. This journey runs not only through centuries, but across all of Europe. We’ll meet the secular lions of Russia, England, Germany, and Sweden.
Special attention is given to the inner circle of Nicholas II. The family of the last Russian emperor is doomed romances and tragic endings. A bright ray in the kingdom of sorrow is Matilda Kshesinskaya—a ballerina who learned how to be happy in any circumstances.
