Being a member of the royal family is a tremendous responsibility. And it's no exaggeration to say that the Romanovs were hard workers. A keen sense of duty was common to virtually all the Romanovs. Each knew that their high birth not only guaranteed them material well-being but also imposed serious responsibilities. The biographies of this family are dominated not by stories of frivolous revelers, but by stories of service to the country—in public life, on the battlefield, and through charity. It is precisely the Romanovs' service to Russia, service despite their own passions, that this book recounts. It begins not with the dynasty's founder, Mikhail Feodorovich, but with his grandson, Peter I. This approach is explained by the specific nature of the author's task. The aim is not to reveal the family's political and private secrets. The secrets of the Romanovs will be explored to the extent that they contribute to the book's main goal, which is to dispel the common myth of the Royal House's alienation from the country it ruled. This myth is based on the notion that foreign blood predominates over Russian blood in the ruling dynasty.
