Empress Alexandra's Private Life Revealed by Her Closest Friend.

This video dives into the intimate Memoirs of Lili Dehn, Empress Alexandra's closest friend, to expose the real Tsaritsa behind the historical slander that painted her as a hysterical, pro-German, and overly luxurious figure. Challenging the public narrative, we reveal Alexandra's deep commitment to simplicity and modesty—from insisting on plain linen underwear and hiding her old-fashioned bathtub to living a private, homely family life at Tsarskoe Selo with Nicholas II and their children. Dehn's first-hand account defends the Empress, asserting that her influence on the Emperor was merely "that of a good woman over a man" and concluding that her desire to lead the life of a private individual, while ideal personally, was ultimately "fatal" for rulers of an empire demanding a more traditional, unapproachable figure.
