When a Teenage Boy Became Master of the World's Largest Prison
Picture a terrified sixteen-year-old hiding in a monastery while his mother weeps and begs him not to accept the crown being offered. This wasn't some medieval fantasy-this was Michael Romanov in 1613, the reluctant founder of a dynasty that would rule one-sixth of the earth's surface for three centuries. The previous decade had seen Russia descend into chaos: pretenders murdered, foreign armies pillaging, the throne a death sentence. Yet from this chaos emerged a family whose story would encompass everything from divine pageantry to basement executions, from building palaces of ice to burning Moscow to the ground. The Romanovs didn't just rule Russia-they became Russia, embodying its contradictions, its grandeur, and ultimately, its tragic inability to evolve. As Vladimir Putin's inner circle reportedly calls him "the Tsar" today, understanding how the Romanovs wielded and lost power reveals uncomfortable truths about Russia's present.
