Imperial Legend: The Mysterious Disappearance of Tsar Alexander I

xiv, 300 pp. Thoroughly researched and utterly riveting, a revelatory work details the death of one of Russia's greatest emperors, Alexander I, which lead to much speculation that he actually staged his death to cover a devastating secret, and suggests that Feodor Kuzmich, a holy man who wandered through Russia doing good works, and Alexander were one and the same person.
