In the State Hermitage Museum an extraordinary collection of state and personal possessions has been preserved from which National Museums of Scotland curators were allowed to select for bring to Edinburgh for the summer exhibition at the Royal Museum - Nicholas and Alexandra The Last Tsar and Tsarina. Nicholas and Alexandra, the book, is not only a catalogue of the wonderful objects on display but also a history of the public and private lives of the ill-fated Russian Royal Family. Lavishly produced, with over 200 pictures and photographs, the book - an object of beauty in itself - does full justice to this unique exhibition.

In the summer of 1918, Tsar Nicholas II, his Tsarina Alexandra and their five children were executed by firing squad at Ekaterinburg. The unique and revealing photographs in this book illustrate the intimate family life of the last ruling Romanovs from 1896, shortly after the marriage of Nicholas and Alexandra, to the family's house arrest at Tsarskoye Selo palace in 1917, shortly before their death. These photographs have been selected from thousands taken by the Tsarina and her five children, which were mounted in their own and the Tsars personal albums. The albums have until now remained hidden for over seventy years in government archives in Moscow. Whilst researching his book Imperial Palaces of Russia in the Autumn of 1990, Prince Michael of Greece was puzzled by an invitation to view material in the government archives. Thirty thick, leather-bound volumes, embossed with the Imperial monogram, awaited him - the private photograph albums, which the curators wanted to show first to a relative of the Romanov family. Through his selection of images from the family albums, the author here tells the story of the last Tsar, one of the saddest of twentieth-century politics. Nicholas II was a man both unprepared and ill equipped to rule the greatest empire in the world, and under the influence of Alexandra, the wife he so adored, he led Russia to disaster. But theirs was also an extraordinary love story, as the three hundred photographs in this book reveal. Away from the responsibilities of Empire, we see a close and loving family of simple tastes and great candour. The photographs clearly illustrate the personalities of Nicholas and Alexandra and of their four daughters - Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia - and beloved son and heir Alexis, who suffered from haemophilia and whose every move was carefully watched. The family were keen, and sometimes talented, amateur photographers, who took their own cameras with them everywhere, be it on family picnics or on state occasions. The book thus illustrates a fascinating transition from the joy and relaxation of the early years, through the tension caused by the Tsarevich's illness, to the stresses and anxiety of the First World War and the coming Revolution. These photographs provide a new perspective on the life of the Imperial family, and constitute an invaluable historical document.

For many, the story of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra, the last Sovereigns of all the Russias, was one of the greatest love stories in history. For others it was a relationship doomed to tragedy from the day of their coronation to the day of their deaths. They were young, they were attractive, they were immeasurably rich and they had absolute power in their country, until everything began to crumble around them. Maria Mouchanow gives her intimate account of the family as one disaster after another befalls them through the eyes of someone who shared in their lives continuously from the day of their marriage right through to the day of their exile to Siberia over twenty years later, and her insights, while often shocking, have the solid ring of truth. This is an account of the private lives of the last Russian Imperial Family as has never been told before or since.
