Alexander I and the Suckling Tale of Russia
A mosaic of czars and curiosities recounts how Nicholas I drew a straight line on a map to fix the Moscow to St. Petersburg railway, denied purgatory, and how Alexander I, amid praise, faced a tail theft in a roast pig incident that sparked a political turn. It weaves legends of loyal soldiers, bold deeds, and the strange fates of rulers across a century.
