The Romanovs were the most successful dynasty of modern times, ruling a sixth of the world's surface. How did one family turn a war-ruined principality into the world's greatest empire? And how did they lose it all? This is the intimate story of twenty tsars and tsarinas, some touched by genius, some by madness, but all inspired by holy autocracy and imperial ambition. Montefiore's gripping chronicle reveals their secret world of unlimited power and ruthless empire-building, overshadowed by palace conspiracy, family rivalries, sexual decadence and wild extravagance, and peopled by a cast of adventurers, courtesans, revolutionaries and poets. Written with dazzling literary flair, drawing on new archival research, THE ROMANOVS is at once an enthralling chronicle of triumph and tragedy, love and death, a universal study of power, and an essential portrait of the empire that still defines Russia today.

I Romanov hanno governato per oltre tre secoli un sesto della superficie terrestre e sono stati la dinastia di maggior successo dell'era moderna. Come ha potuto una sola famiglia trasformare un piccolo e oscuro principato nel più grande impero del mondo? Quale prezzo di sofferenze e di sangue hanno dovuto pagare i loro sudditi? E perché e come il loro dominio ha di colpo iniziato a franare all'inizio del XX secolo? Simon Sebag Montefiore, profondo conoscitore dell'universo russo, è riuscito a rispondere a queste domande racchiudendo in un'unica, appassionante narrazione la vertiginosa avventura di una ventina di zar e zarine, valutati e descritti non solo negli scenari della storia maggiore - incoronazioni, complotti, avvicendamenti dinastici -, ma, con il supporto di documenti e carteggi recentemente emersi, anche in quelli meno noti della vita privata e familiare. Per realizzare il suo titanico progetto, Sebag Montefiore ha suddiviso la trama del racconto in 3 atti e 17 scene, i cui cast sono gremiti dei personaggi più disparati: ministri e boiari, impostori e avventurieri, arrampicatori sociali e cortigiane, rivoluzionari e poeti. Dopo Pietro il Grande, visionario e spietato modernizzatore, spiccano su tutte le figure delle due volitive e innovatrici zarine Elisabetta e Caterina, con le loro corti di amanti e favoriti, e dei grandi zar dell'Ottocento: Alessandro I, che respinse e incalzò fino a Parigi l'esercito invasore di Napoleone Bonaparte, e Alessandro II il Liberatore, ripagato per l'abolizione della servitù della gleba con sei attentati, di cui l'ultimo mortale, tragica premonizione degli orrori del XX secolo. È infatti sotto il segno sanguinoso del massacro della famiglia di Nicola II e Alessandra, gli ultimi regnanti, che si conclude nel 1918 la parabola dell'autocrazia zarista e si apre una nuova epoca, quella del bolscevismo. Benché anche quest'ultima sia ormai storia di ieri, l'autore sembra presagire per il sogno imperiale dei Romanov e del popolo russo un possibile futuro nel mondo contemporaneo: per i suoi spazi immensi, per la sua singolare collocazione geopolitica che le assegna un ruolo di inevitabile protagonista delle vicende di due continenti, per la sua memoria storica e culturale, per l'indole stessa della sua gente, la Russia potrebbe essere spinta a ripercorrere, prima di quanto si immagini e con esiti oggi imprevedibili, sentieri già battuti. Simon Sebag Montefiore, storico e scrittore, è uno dei massimi esperti di storia russa e sovietica, alla quale ha dedicato numerosi saggi e biografie. I suoi libri, vincitori di numerosi premi letterari, sono stati tradotti in 48 lingue, imponendosi come bestseller internazionali, e hanno ispirato film e sceneggiati televisivi. È autore, fra gli altri, di Gli uomini di Stalin. Un tiranno, i suoi complici e le sue vittime (2005), Il giovane Stalin (2010), Jerusalem (2011), e i romanzi Sašenka (2009) e L'amore ai tempi della neve (2013).

From Helen Rappaport, the New York Times bestselling author of The Romanov Sisters comes After the Romanovs, the story of the Russian aristocrats, artists, and intellectuals who sought freedom and refuge in the City of Light. Paris has always been a city of cultural excellence, fine wine and food, and the latest fashions. But it has also been a place of refuge for those fleeing persecution, never more so than before and after the Russian Revolution and the fall of the Romanov dynasty. For years, Russian aristocrats had enjoyed all that Belle Époque Paris had to offer, spending lavishly when they visited. It was a place of artistic experimentation, such as Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. But the brutality of the Bolshevik takeover forced Russians of all types to flee their homeland, sometimes leaving with only the clothes on their backs. Arriving in Paris, former princes could be seen driving taxicabs, while their wives who could sew worked for the fashion houses, their unique Russian style serving as inspiration for designers like Coco Chanel. Talented intellectuals, artists, poets, philosophers, and writers struggled in exile, eking out a living at menial jobs. Some, like Bunin, Chagall and Stravinsky, encountered great success in the same Paris that welcomed Americans like Fitzgerald and Hemingway. Political activists sought to overthrow the Bolshevik regime from afar, while double agents from both sides plotted espionage and assassination. Others became trapped in a cycle of poverty and their all-consuming homesickness for Russia, the homeland they had been forced to abandon. This is their story.

A “magnificent and intimate” (Harper’s) modern classic of Russian history, the spellbinding story of the love that ended an empire—from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Peter the Great, The Romanovs, and Catherine the Great “A moving, rich book . . . [This] revealing, densely documented account of the last Romanovs focuses not on the great events . . . but on the royal family and their evil nemesis. . . . The tale is so bizarre, no melodrama is equal to it.”—Newsweek In this commanding book, New York Times bestselling author Robert K. Massie sweeps readers back to the extraordinary world of the Russian empire to tell the story of the Romanovs’ lives: Nicholas’s political naïveté, Alexandra’s obsession with the corrupt mystic Rasputin, and little Alexis’s brave struggle with hemophilia. Against a lavish backdrop of luxury and intrigue, Massie unfolds a powerful drama of passion and history—the story of a doomed empire and the death-marked royals who watched it crumble.

From 11 July to 13 September 2009 the Grimaldi Forum in Montecarlo presents an exhibition focused on Mother Russia during the Romanov era. The Romanov dynasty reigned over Russia for three hundred years. Every sovereign was without exception crowned in the cathedral of the Dormition within the Kremlin. The coronation ceremonies used to return the former capital to the splendour it had lost to Saint Petersburg. The exhibition and its catalogue aim to make it possible to rediscover a Moscow that is frequently overlooked by foreign visitors in favour of the northern capital and, through the works of art embodying the dynasty, reveal the reign of the Romanovs, which symbolizes almost three centuries of Russian artistic riches.

The histories of the British and Russian royal families have been entwined for centuries. In the first publication to examine the relationship between Britain and Russia using artworks drawn exclusively from the Royal Collection, 'Russia: Art, Royalty and the Romanovs' interweaves the familial, political, diplomatic, and artistic stories of these two nations over more than four hundred years.0From initial contacts in the mid-sixteenth century, through alliances, marriages, and two World Wars, up to the current reign, this richly illustrated book gives readers a glimpse into the public and personal dealings of these two fascinating dynasties. With new research on previously unpublished works, including Imperial porcelain, arms, costume, insignia, and photographs, together with paintings by both Russian artists and British artists working in Russia, this will be the first time that the uniquely interlinked narrative of the art connecting the two royal families has been presented in such stunning, lavishly illustrated detail.
