Chapter+Ten-Tsarskoe+Selo

Chapter Nine-1905

Summary Tsarskoe Selo was the symbol of the Russian autocracy. The Imperial family, along with other nobility, stayed there. There was a strong focus on court protocol. The courtiers were "fervent monarchists". The family had strong ties, and was happy and secure at Tsarskoe Selo. A person of note was Lili Dehn.

Analysis I thought this chapter was outright boring and pointless. It was merely a description of everyday life that could have been summed up in a sentence. It had no historical relevance.

Conclusion I would not recommend this to anyone, and anyone reading the book should just skip this chapter.
