Synopsis
The Last Days Of Alexander: And The First Days Of Nicholas, (Emperors Of Russia) by Robert Lee. The work is a diary-chronicle based on Lee's two-year residence in Russia as physician to Count Woronzow. Beginning with his journey from London to the Russian Empire, the diary records the 1824 inundation of the Neva and the political upheavals surrounding the death of Tsar Alexander I and the accession of Nicholas I. The second part follows the early days of Nicholas’s reign, including the conspiracy against the imperial family in 1825, the arrests, trials, and executions, and the unsettled mood that accompanied the new reign. Interwoven with vivid travelogues across the Crimea, Ukraine, and Moscow, Lee offers careful medical observations, notes on climate and disease, and sharp social commentary: the abuses of slavery, the corruption of civil administration, and the state’s neglect of the enslaved millions. The diary also records foreign affairs, diplomacy with Britain, Austria, and Turkey, and impressions of court life, religion, and education. As a primary source, the book provides a candid, eyewitness portrait of a pivotal moment in Russian history.
