Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the Russian upper classes through the lives of some of their prominent members over a period of significant societal change. The author provides an in-depth look at Russian society and politics during the second half of the 19th century, revealing the conflicting currents that shaped both the country and its people during the rule of Nicholas I and Alexander II. Beginning with Princess Helene, the wife of Grand Duke Michael, the book delves into the rigid and controlled lives of the imperial family, tracing the pressures and disappointments faced by those closest to the throne. The author then explores the lives of a diverse cast of characters, including Count Peter Shuvalov, Antoinette Bludov, Grand Duke Konstantin, and Prince Gortshakov, among others, each embodying an aspect of Russian society and its evolution during this transformative time. Through these individuals, the book offers a rich tapestry of narratives, highlighting the intellectual and political debates that were central to the period.
