Synopsis
Thoroughly researched and utterly riveting, a revelatory work details the death of one of Russia's greatest emeperors, Alezander I, which lead to much speculation that he actually staged his death to cover a devastating secret, and suggests that Feodor Kuzmich, a holy man who wandered through Russia doing good works, and Alexander were one and the same person. 15,000 first printing.

Alexis Troubetzkoy was born in Paris in 1934 into a Russian princely family and immigrated to the United States at an early age. He and his family currently live in Toronto, Canada.
From Library Journal
One hundred years of Russian history should be taught using three recent books. Henri Troyat's Terrible Tsarinas (LJ 11/1/01) fills in nearly 50 years of court intrigue from the death of Peter the Great in 1725 to Catherine the Great; S. Sebag Montefiore's Prince of Princes: The Life of Potemkin (LJ 10/1/01) covers Catherine's reign until 1796; and now Troubetzkoy's book does a credible job of taking the story up to 1825, when Tsar Alexander I, grandson of Catherine the Great, either died or mysteriously disappeared. Troubetzkoy, born in Paris to a noble Russian family and now living in Toronto, presents the 1801 murder of Alexander's father, Paul I, in a plot to put Alexander on the throne as the catalyst for Alexander's ongoing sense of religious guilt. The imperial cover-up surrounding Alexander began with his reputed death and continued through the Russian Revolution. As with most recent legends, such as Billy the Kid and Nicholas, Alexandra, and family, the solution seems to be in DNA sampling. Was the starets (a Russian Orthodox religious teacher) known as Feodor Kuzmich, who first surfaced in 1836 in Siberia, really Alexander I? Strange machinations were used to hinder research after his death in 1864 strange enough to fuel the legend for more than 100 years. This intriguing and well-researched story is recommended for public libraries. Harry Willems, Southeast Kansas Lib. Syst., Iola
