Education of the sovereign - what could be more important? The fate of the people and the state depends on the strong-willed and moral qualities of the one who becomes the head of the state. This means that raising the heirs to the throne has always been the most important task for the country. From the book “Education of an Orthodox Sovereign in the House of Romanov” you will learn: • How were Orthodox sovereigns raised in the Russian Empire? • What was the unique system of their education based on? • Who taught our kings? • What were the consequences of miscalculations and mistakes in their education, and what did this lead to? We practically do not know the names of the teachers of our sovereigns. But the Anglophilia of the teacher of Alexander I largely explains the future anti-Napoleonic wars, when our country beat Bonaparte and drove him around Europe... to the delight of our British “partners”. And while the Russian soldiers were performing their exploits, the British took control of all maritime trade, captured almost all of India and other strategically important overseas colonies of France. The education and upbringing of the head of state is not only pedagogy and theology, it is also geopolitics and economics. A book written by research fellow of the State Hermitage Marina Mayevna Yevtushenko, will show us the politics of the past from an unexpected side. How do you raise your children?
