The loyal subjects of the Russian emperor should not only honor their sovereign, but also love him. The emperor and members of his family were supposed to awaken people's love by their actions. This was served by carefully thought-out rituals of royal trips and award ceremonies, official speeches and informal meetings, widely distributed portraits and patriotic poems. During the First World War, the awakening of people's love became the most important element of the monarchist-patriotic mobilization of Russian society. B.I. Kolonitsky studies how members of the imperial family tried to increase their popularity - Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich, Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna. 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.
