Rerun: Alexandra Feodorovna
In 2018 we first covered Alexandra Feodorovna, the last tsarina of Russia. But, after our Mathilde Kschessinska episode, we thought it might be interesting to revisit her. So, you don't need to go digging back through the back catalog.
Alex was born into German royalty. She was very loved as the favorite granddaughter of the HBIC, Queen Victoria (maybe you heard of her). In fact, Queen Victoria wanted Alex to be the next queen of England and tried to play matchmaker and marry baby Alex to her cousin, the Prince of Wales. However, this was never going to happen. Alex only had eyes for her other cousin (lots of kissin' cousins in this episode), the tsarevich of Russia, Nicholas Romanov.
As the tsarina, our girl was not popular. And she really didn't do herself any favors. Still, we find her a sympathetic figure all the same. Rasputin and all.
