The book is dedicated to the life and work of Empress Maria Fedorovna Romanova, née Danish Princess Dagmar (1847–1928), the wife of Emperor Alexander III, mother of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, whose name has been forgotten in our country for more than 80 years. Meanwhile, she was an extraordinary person. Contemporaries noted her intelligence and determination, diplomatic abilities and political intuition, and all these qualities of a strong personality were harmoniously combined with the charming manners, fragility and charm of a charming woman. She was an impeccable wife and mother, a loyal friend and adviser to both her husband and son, and did a lot to improve education and develop culture in Russia. Her enormous public and charitable activities aroused respect in secular circles, among the creative intelligentsia, and among the common people. A distinctive feature of her personality was a passionate desire to serve the good of Russia, which she loved with all her soul immediately and forever.
