Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the tales of the fathers of the people who constitute the Russia of today. The author shows how the traditions of the Russian nobility have determined the growth and progress of the present generation. From the antecedents of the Imperial house and high nobility to the bureaucratic, burgher, and peasant class, this book seeks to reveal the dark side of former days. The reader will learn of the childhood of Nicholas and his brother Constantine under the neglect of their father, Paul I, and about the influence of their grandmother, Catherine II. The book also provides a glimpse into the life of Tsar Alexander I, the "Blessed Czar", and his relations with Prince Galytzin and the monk Photi. Other topics include the Palace conspiracies of 1762 and 1801, the harsh rule of Araktchà yef, and the fears of those who lived during the reigns of Nicholas and Alexander I.
