Novels by famous contemporary writers are dedicated to the life and tragic fate of two people who left a mark on the history and memory of mankind: Emperor Alexander II and His Serene Highness Princess Yuryevskaya (Ekaterina Dolgorukova).

“The Empress died quietly. Lord, accept her soul and forgive my voluntary or involuntary sins... Today my double life ended. Will I be happier in the future? I'm very sad. And She does not hide her joy. She is already talking about the legalization of her position; This mistrust is killing me! I will do everything for her that is in my power...” (Diary of Emperor Alexander II, May 22, 1880).
