Many of the representatives of the Romanov dynasty became famous for their “forbidden” novels and love affairs. And this despite the fact that the personal life of representatives of the House of Romanov was strictly regulated. Emperors who were grand dukes before ascending the throne and their numerous relatives more than once found themselves at the center of high-profile love scandals. The grand ducal passions were in full swing. “Indecent” marriages of grand dukes and princesses, misalliances, illegitimate children, scandalous divorces, love dramas and intrigues constantly shook the dynasty, threatening to disrupt the stability of not only the family, but also the state. It is these novels that are unacceptable from the point of view of the monarchy that this book is dedicated to.
