About the book: 1993 / I. Vasilevsky’s book “The Romanovs” presents a whole gallery of psychological portraits of the bearers of autocratic power in Russia in the 17th–20th centuries. Full of little-known facts from the personal life of Russian monarchs, to whom I. Vasilevsky gives a subjective, biased assessment, this work is an interesting document of a bygone era. The book is intended for the general reader.
