TZAR ALEXANDER THE FIRST
NEW EPIC SERIES IS SHOOTING
Yevgeny Romantsov plays the emperor |
AFTER BEING RAISED
by his babushka, Empress Catherine II, who saw in
her eldest grandson the direct heir to the throne, and the European
teacher La Harpe, Alexander adheres to liberal views and admires the
first years of Napoleon's reign: he dreams that Russia will someday have
a republic. After the death of Catherine, during the reign of Paul,
Alexander continued to hope for reforms. However, he is soon overcome by
disappointment in Paul both as a father and as a statesman. As a result
of the conspiracy, Emperor Paul the First dies, and Alexander, haunted
by guilt for the death of his father, is forced to ascend the throne to
confront the new intrigues of the aristocrats and his overbearing
mother. At the same time, Alexander understands that a threat looms over
Russia: war with the invincible Napoleon is inevitable, it’s only a
matter of time.
Wow, it looks great!
