The mirage of imperial St. Petersburg, the luxury of Romanov's palaces... and the sad St. Petersburg of Dostoevsky, the squalid apartments of terrorists, where these bloody idealists prepared the future of the Motherland - these are the main places of action of the book.
The heroes of the story - Emperor Alexander II, the last great tsar and the first donjuan of Europe, pedantically described in a secret diary five attempts on his own life and his last mad love, and Prince V-kiy, a descendant of the famous family of Rurikovich.... is a secret agent of the secret police. Through his eyes we will see the rulers of the minds of the era - Dostoevsky and Herzen, Bakunin and Marx. And our famous young revolutionaries who created the most powerful terrorist organization in Europe.
And above them all - the immortal Russian secret police, invisibly guiding the life of the country and entangled Russia with its network, which eventually suffocated the Empire. However, the book has a major winner, looking at all these merciless political passions with a smile. This is the "science of tender passion", which in the end defeated them all - and the donjuan-emperor, and adamant terrorists, and the unfortunate handsome Prince V-koy ...
