Russia and Europe - Dynastic Ties

This volume excellent book authored by Galina Korneva and Tatiana Cheboksarova includes nearly 600 photos, an overwhelming majority among them collected from the main archives of Russia and several European countries.

The authors also relied on important information obtained from Russian and foreign periodicals, memoirs and scientific literature. The English-language version of this book was expanded with contributions written by Arturo Beéche, founder of Eurohistory and publisher of Eurohistory (The European Royal History Journal). He is an expert on European Royalty, as well as author of more than a dozen books about the various royal families that have shaped the continent's history.
