About the book: 2011 / The historical novel by the famous writer Faina Grimberg is dedicated to the tragic fate of the granddaughter of Ivan Alekseevich, the elder brother of Peter I. The life of Anna Leopoldovna and her family passed in gloomy confinement aside from the main paths of history, but the bitter fate of the unfortunate prisoners reflected, as if in a drop of water, many features of Russian life of the 18th century.
