About the book: 2013 / In 1614, on one of the Moscow squares, the Russian people witnessed an unusual sight: a three-year-old boy was executed, sentenced to death as a particularly dangerous criminal. This was the son of the adventurer and warlock Marina Mnishek, wife of False Dmitry. Mnishek did not forgive the new tsar for the reprisal against her son, and before her death she cursed the entire Romanov family, predicting that not one of them would die a natural death, and the killings would continue until every single Romanov disappeared from the face of the earth. And so it happened. The Romanov dynasty ruled for three hundred years, but the history of the family ended in a terrible tragedy with the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II... Who was to blame for this? Is it really all about the curse? Until now, many secrets of the Romanov family have not been revealed. This book dispels many of the myths that shroud the secrets of this crowned family, revealing the life stories of kings and queens and the secrets of their strange deaths. The reader goes back in time to see with his own eyes the events that happened many years ago.
