After many different versions of series on his grandmother, legendary Catherine the Great, we are finally getting a series on
ALEXANDER THE FIRST, the emperor of whole Russia and last year I gave you first images from this sprawling historical saga which director
Artyom Nasybulin was shooting over in St. Petersburg, but now I can tell you that as a part of Easter festive celebrations, Russian national broadcaster
Russia 1 is ready to start airing the drama from tomorrow evening,
April 21st. The show will also be available for streaming on Russian streamer
Smotrim and you can check out the trailer

for the new series below the post! The title role is played by insanely gorgeous
Evgeny Romantsov, whom we remember from
Goalkeeper of Galaxy sf movie, and he will be accompanied by
Anna Banshchikova, Gleb Bochkov, Polina Gukhman, Philip Ershov, Anastasia Krylova, Fyodor Lavrov, Angelina Poplavskaya, Anna Snatkina, Daniil Spivakovsky, Artyom Tkachenko, Vladislav Tsenev, Anna Chipovskaya and Yuri Chursin. I have heard that more than 4,000 costumes were used in the series. During the massive production of this high profile series the actors had to learn how to ride, use weapons and play the violin.
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. Watch the trailer below and tell us what you think, would you watch?
