In the summer of 1872, a beautiful German princess was brought into the world. With golden curls and dazzling smile, Princess Alix was appropriately nicknamed "Sunny" by her family.  That summer, no one could have predicted that sweet baby Sunny would one day grow up to be the most hated woman in all of Russia.

1.07: The Three Alexanders

Alexander I saved his nation through an alliance with Napoleon Bonaparte, only to later become the man who ensured the military leader's grisly demise. Alexander II was a well-educated statesman desperate to prove himself to his country, but this desperation to please would eventually cost him his life. Alexander III ruled for only a short period of time, but watched as Russia underwent its most dramatic changes yet. These three men, connected only by their names and their bloodline, would all help shape Russia into the nation it is today. Their decisions would bring wealth and prosperity to their people . . . but would also cost them their lives, and the lives of royal descendants to come. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]

1.06: Peter III and His Final Game

After being dismissed from the line of succession twice, Elizabeth Petrovna was tired of watching Russia fall into the hands of twisted and incompetent rulers. Whether or not she had been born out of wedlock, Elizabeth was still the daughter of Peter the Great, and she knew she could restore Russia to its glory days. Unfortunately, Elizabeth's nephew and heir, Peter III, despised his aunt and country, and dreamed of a future where Russia would belong to his homeland, Germany. A new empress would be needed to prevent Peter from destroying Russia . . . and she would go down in history as one of Russia's greatest leaders. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]
