Memoirs by Moris Paleologue (1859-1944), a diplomat, historian, ambassador of France at the Russian Emperor’s court in 1914-1917, are a captivating reading about the romance of a 47-year-old Emperor Alexander II and 17-year-old Princess Catherine Dolgorukaya, later Princess Yur’evskaya. By the end of the Emperor’s life she became his morganatic wife. That love story is described at the background of historical events in Russia at the second half of the XIXth century.
