Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovitch.Pro et contra, by Z.Beliakova

Publish date 2004

ISBN 5-87288-243-2
Type: hardcover
 Weight: 610g
Pages: 232
Language: Russian.
Condition: good. The book has a wrong binding – you open the cover and see the last pages upside down (mistake of the printing technology) but anyway the book is good.

Only one bio on Grand Duke Alexei, extraordinary and sad person in the Romanov clan. His conflicting character and love drama in the early 20s made him a sort of white crow in the family. A lot of rare materials from the Archives and unique photos.

What an amazing collection of books you have!

I'm so upset I can't read Russian and don't have anything to offer in return (cries!)
