Last Czarina of Russia: Alexandra, Queen Victoria’s Granddaughter

Destined to rule alongside her husband, Alexandra found life in St. Petersburg quite different from the court of her grandmother, Queen Victoria. The czarina was shunned by the court for her shyness and poor French, but Alexandra found strength in her marriage and five children. Her determination to see her son succeed the throne led to disaster in the form of a Rasputin and revolution – and her death in a cellar in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
