Never previously published by Admiral D.S. Arsenyeva “The Biography of Empress Maria Alexandrovna” is dedicated to the little -studied figure of Russian history - the wife of Emperor Alexander II. D.S. Arseniev actually became the first biographer of Maria Alexandrovna, describing the main stages of the empress’s life path. The saturation of “household” and actual information makes an essay an important historical source about the life of the imperial family and the court in the 1840-1850s.
The composition chronologically covers the period from the birth and childhood of Princess Maria in Darmstadt before the outbreak of the Crimean war. The book tells about the upbringing of Princess of Hesse-Darmstad, about her acquaintance and wedding with Tsarevich Alexander Nikolaevich, about the first years of marriage and raising Cesarean own children. Arsenyev’s work is based on his personal memories and correspondence of the empress with German relatives. Valuable quotes from the letters of Maria Alexandrovna, translated by the author into Russian, are valuable in the essay. The publication of this valuable source will be useful to historians, art historians, museum workers and everyone who is interested in the biography of historical personalities.
