What is the relationship between an all-powerful autocrat and the society that he rules? From Ivan the Terrible through Tsar Nicholas II, the Imperial House of Romanov subjugated the vast Russian Empire both militarily and economically. Examining the role of alcohol provides novel insights into the relationship between Russia’s rulers and the ruled, with cultural effects that persist to the present day.
