No matter what they sing about the heartbreaks of kings who supposedly cannot “marry for love”, the UNOFFICIAL HISTORY of the Romanov dynasty is more like “THE ROYAL DECAMERON”, there are so many Shakespearean passions, love madness, sexual exploits, broken hearts in it and novels “on the rupture of the aorta” - where are all the Tudors, Bourbons and Habsburgs! It was SEX ON THE THRONE that often determined the big politics of Russia, alcove pleasures became a matter of national importance, and love rhymed not only with blood, but also with power, which, as we know, is the best aphrodisiac... From the love dramas of the first Romanovs, who chose brides at the royal bridesmaids (“peculiar, beauty contests”), to the ugly, happy-in-love Princess Sophia (the first woman on the Russian throne, who was going to marry her favorite), from Peter the Great, who exiled his legal wife to a monastery, executed unfaithful mistresses and married a “harlot ", to the heartfelt secrets of the first empresses - in this book you will find comprehensive information about all the novels of the Romanovs and all the details of the love lives of the Russian autocrats.
