The novel of the Russian Emperor Alexander II and barely out of childhood Ekaterina Dolgorukova could be considered an ordinary affair, which was a lot for the loving Romanovs, if not for the sincere attachment of this couple to each other. Contemporaries noted that, despite the increased family sexuality, the emperor was not looking for easy love adventures, but a real deep feeling that he found in the face of this girl. The long-term relationship between Alexander II and Dolgorukova-Yurievskaya was sealed by the wedding after the death of his wife and ended only with the death of Alexander II.

The TV 14-episode project “Sevastopol Stories” is not a film adaptation of the eponymous work of Leo Tolstoy. Common is only the place of action - Sevastopol. The cycle covers the 200-year history of the famous city with a dramatic fate. We do not want to affect anyone’s political or national interests. This city has taken a firm place in the national and world history, and it is impossible to erase it from memory. We decided to revive some key pages of Russian history and show how it was.
To get away from the standard textbook narrative, we looked at Sevastopol and the most important moments of its history from an unusual side. The film is made in a new direction for domestic television infotainment - "informing, entertaining" (from the English "information" information and "entertainment" entertainment). It mixes the laws of fiction and documentary film. Our journey into history would have been impossible without the main figure, the Narrator. This is a famous actor of theater and cinema, Honored Artist of Russia Igor Zolotovitsky.
We are shooting in places where historical events really happened. We consult with authoritative scientists, use authentic household items, weapons, costumes. Both professional actors and residents of Sevastopol participate in mass scenes. close
