AFTER BEING RAISED

by his babushka, Empress Catherine II, who saw in her eldest grandson the direct heir to the throne, and the European teacher La Harpe, Alexander adheres to liberal views and admires the first years of Napoleon's reign: he dreams that Russia will someday have a republic. After the death of Catherine, during the reign of Paul, Alexander continued to hope for reforms. However, he is soon overcome by disappointment in Paul both as a father and as a statesman. As a result of the conspiracy, Emperor Paul the First dies, and Alexander, haunted by guilt for the death of his father, is forced to ascend the throne to confront the new intrigues of the aristocrats and his overbearing mother. At the same time, Alexander understands that a threat looms over Russia: war with the invincible Napoleon is inevitable, it's only a matter of time.
