Aksenov A. Sluhi v imperii
Aksenov A. Sluhi v imperii
| Author | Aksenov A. |
| Title | Sluhi v imperii |
| Description | Even the funniest and most absurd rumours have their roots in everyday life. Envy, an attempt to explain the unknown, or a clever means of manipulation — if you dislike someone, spreading an unpleasant piece of gossip about them can be remarkably effective. At least, that was sometimes the case in the Russian Empire. Even today, we still encounter astonishing stories that began as nothing more than gossip. Just imagine how many rumours circulated at the time — and how easily people could believe them!
Illustrator Katya Gushchina and historian Andrei Aksenov have one advantage over people of the past: the distance of time. It allows them to look calmly beyond the surrounding chatter, reconstruct what actually happened, and confirm or debunk rumours about Russian emperors from Peter I to Nicholas II. At the same time, the authors remind us that the rulers, scholars, writers, military commanders and ordinary people of past centuries are not merely distant historical figures — their stories remain surprisingly vivid and relevant today. For readers aged 12–16. |
