Aleksandr I

Alexander the First (1801-1825) was one of the most controversial Russian Tsars. He was involved in his father`s assassination; started unsuccessful reforms; but won the war over Napoleon; founded the Lyceum of Tsarskoe Selo which gave to Russian culture not only Pushkin, but also many others who became the glory of the country; and founded the Union of European countries. The circumstances of the death of Aleksandr the First in Taganrog in 1825 have raised speculation about his possible continued life. Some have tried to prove that the Russian monarch became a monk, and adopted another name. This updated edition of the biography of Alexander I, written by a young Russian historian and journalist, combines features of captivating fiction with conscientious study. Chronicle of Alexander the First`s life. Bibliography.
