The loyal subjects of the Russian emperor were not only to honor their sovereign, but also to love him. The emperor and members of his family had to arouse the people's love through their actions. The elaborate rituals of tsarist trips and award ceremonies, formal speeches and informal meetings, widely distributed portraits and patriotic poems served this purpose. During the First World War, the awakening of popular love became an essential element in the monarchist-patriotic mobilization of Russian society. B.I. Kolonitsky studies how members of the imperial family - Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, and Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna - tried to increase their popularity. The author also explores the perception of the images of the Romanovs. Among the numerous sources on the basis of which the book is written are petitions, diaries and letters of contemporaries, materials of criminal cases against people accused of insulting members of the royal family in absentia.
