About the book: year / Here is an intriguing historical investigative novel written by the talented prose writer and publicist Boris Maksimenko, which offers an alternative vision of the history of Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. Sovereign Emperor Nicholas II set a task for Joseph Dzhugashvili, a graduate of the Nicholas Academy of the General Staff: to infiltrate the revolutionary movement in order to preserve the royal family, save the Heir and place him on the Throne. This was precisely what became Stalin’s main life goal. The novel “The Throne” tells about the life of the Heir to the Throne, Tsarevich and Grand Duke Alexei Nikolaevich Romanov, and the role of Joseph Stalin in his fate. This was a special state secret, the veil of which this novel opens for the first time. The events of the novel cover pre-war and wartime and end in February 1945.
