Crazy Romanoffs on Insanity in Imperial Russia
In Count Vitzthum’s memoirs proofs emerge of a hereditary mental disease within the Russian imperial family. All four sons of Paul I, including Alexander I and Nicolas I, showed signs of mental derangement after age forty five. Nicolas I’s illness was later confirmed by English physician Saga, who warned of a short life for the czar. Alexander I died aged forty eight, Constantine showed clear signs of distress, and Michael died at forty eight after earlier indicators. The piece notes the recurrent brain congestion and the era’s events as amplifying these dispositions, contrasting Nicolas I’s outward gravity with his afflicted interior state.
