Michael and Natasha - The Life and Love of Emperor Michael II, the Last Tsar of Russia by Rosemary and Donald Crawford |
The focus of this study of the last days of the Romanovs set against the brutality of the Russian Revolution is the little-known love story between Michael, heir to the throne and Natasha, a divorced commoner. Disgrace, humiliation, exile and separation did not affect their passionate relationship. Based on much new material, a wealth of detail shows, sympathetically but objectively, the politics which led to the revolution and to the tragic fate of the protagonists.
