Nikolai II: Posledniy Rossiyskiy Imperator (Nicholas II: The Last Russian Emperor)

description:

An oversized biography of the reign of Nicholas II, generously illustrated with hundreds of black and white photographs.


(Title in Russian: Николай II: Последниы Российский Император)

unique features:

Many scarce photographs (some duplicated from Sunset of the Romanov Dynasty).

similar to:

Sunset of the Romanov Dynasty

in my opinion:

Although many of the photos aren't found in other volumes, their print quality is mediocre (due to the paper quality). The text is a rather disjointed mix of non-fiction narrative, profiles of the imperial family, and extensive photo captions. Because its style and format are so VERY similar to Sunset of the Romanov Dynasty, I'd recommend non-Russian speakers stick to Sunset.

Mosaic of Leo VI from the Narthex of Hagia Sophia

This mosaic stands above the main Imperial door from the inner narthex into the sanctuary of Hagia Sophia.  Leo was married too many times and this mosaic was a result of his problems with the Church.
