In the second part of this audiobook, you will find:

  • An in-depth history of the emergence of the Romanov dynasty, which happened during perhaps the most turbulent period in Russia’s existence.
  • The social and political developments throughout the Romanov dynasty, from Mikhail Romanov to Nicholas II.
  • A deep dive into the external and domestic conflicts that shaped Russia under the Romanovs.
  • An exciting journey of Russia’s cultural transformation from a backward country to a world superpower that strived to achieve a clear European identity.
