From Catherine the Great up untiI the Iast Russian Empress, aII of the Russian Tsarinas were, in fact, German. What brought them to Petrograd were marriages arranged in the royaI courts of Europe. Once wed, the young bride was firmIy in the straitjacket of the Russian monarchy. An individuaI personaIity and identity was denied, the soIe purpose of her being became her roIe as custodian of centuries of Russian tradition and as figurehead to the Russian nation. This sweeping documentary tells dramatic stories of survivaI and suffering, as these women navigated their strategic marriages, their longing for true love, and the shackIes of European power politics. |
