It would seem that the personality of the last Russian Empress - Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of Tsar Nicholas II, born German princess Alice of Hesse-Darmstadt (1872-1918) - is well studied by historians. However, her image in different descriptions varies - from demonic to holy (along with other executed members of the royal family, Alexandra Feodorovna was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church). The biographical books dedicated to her sometimes contradict not only in assessments, but even in facts. Few people set themselves the task of presenting a living human image of the last Russian Empress - a woman with a very difficult and tragic fate. Writer and journalist, winner of the Big Book Prize Pavel Basinsky and poet and prose writer from St. Petersburg Ekaterina Barbanyaga have chosen an unusual form for their narrative - a novel-dialogue. And in the center of his adventure is the Hessian princess - Alice, who got lost in the Russian Looking Glass.
