Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Igor Viktorovich Zimin presents the latest book in the "Daily Life of the Russian Imperial Court" series. It explores one of St. Petersburg's most beautiful palaces—Anichkov Palace. Anichkov Palace is one of the architectural landmarks of Nevsky Prospekt, and the most prominent architects contributed to its design. But the palace is even more significant as the beloved residence of two Russian monarchs—Nicholas I and Alexander III. This house marked their youth, the beginning of their family life, and the birth of their children. They lovingly furnished this home and returned to it with joy. It is also significant that both monarchs lived in Anichkov Palace as Tsareviches, before the avalanche of royal duties and concerns overwhelmed them. In this residence, the monarchs were shaped not only as future statesmen but also as individuals, with all their strengths and weaknesses. The traces of their youthful passions have left a noticeable mark on the history of Russian culture. Surprisingly, the history of the Anichkov Palace is sparsely researched. Of course, it's mentioned in numerous books, but only mentioned... With this work, the author fills in the unfortunate gaps in the history of this architectural masterpiece, describing the many facets of the Anichkov Palace's life. This book is unique on the market today and deserves the attention of the widest possible readership.
