Most readers associate the name of Nicholas I with the suppression of the mutiny on Senate Square and the subsequent trial of the Decembrists. The dominance of the old tradition in the public mind colored the figure of the emperor exclusively in dark tones. Meanwhile, the thirty-year epoch of Nicholas I seems today to be one of the most peaceful periods in Russian history, a true Russian Empire - a time of absolute power of the Russian Empire, which after victories in the Napoleonic Wars continued to establish itself on the international arena in the new status of a superpower. It was in the era of "Nicholas despotism" that A.S. Pushkin, M.Y. Lermontov, N.V. Gogol created their best works. It was during these years that progressive laws were issued, qualitatively improving the situation of peasants, which stimulated and increased the population of Russia. Unbiased researchers have long come to the conclusion that before them a truly great reign, but dared to talk about it only now. The proposed book focuses on the youth of Nicholas I and begins a detailed account of his long reign. "The last knight of Europe" Russian Tsar called the German Chancellor O. von Bismarck. This characteristic is more suitable for describing the very first steps of the young sovereign and explains much about the fateful events of December 14, 1825. For a wide range of readers.
