In all the books of Edvard Radzinsky there are two main characters. The first is History, majestic and ruthless, giving rise to heroes and villains, executioners and their victims. And the second is Love, which at all the sharp turns of History helps a person to remain a person ... Count Alexei Orlov and Princess Tarakanova, False Dmitry and Marina Mnishek, Nicholas II and Alexandra, Mozart and Constance - all of them remained in human memory not only as historical characters, but also as people whose lives were overshadowed by the sign of Love. And even the gloomy tyrants Nero, Ivan the Terrible and Stalin were not alien to this uplifting feeling, which (who knows!) Helped them save the remnants of humanity in themselves.
