Correspondance entre le Tsar Alexandre II et Katia Dolgorouki Six lettres inédites de la correspondance amoureuse et érotique d'Alexandre II à Ekaterina (" Katia") DOLGOROUKI (1847 -1922), sa dernière maîtresse (Alexandre avait déjà eu autrefois une maîtresse issue de cette famille princière, fondatrice de Moscou) et cinq lettres inédites également de Katia. Vivant témoignage de leur extraordinaire histoire d'amour, leur liaison débuta en 1866. Elle n'avait que dix-huit ans, lui quarante-sept. Alexandre l'installa dans un cabinet du Palais d'Hiver (leur " nid ", ????) qui possédait une porte communicante avec les appartements impériaux. Un énorme scandale éclata à la Cour. Etant visiblement déjà trop enceinte, la Princesse déménagea en 1871. Quarante jours après la mort de l'impératrice en 1880, la princesse devient immédiatement son épouse morganatique, recevant le titre de Princesse Yourievskaya. Victime d'un attentat à la bombe, Alexandre fut ramené au palais où il agonisa dans les bras de Katia. Veuve, cette dernière s'exila à Nice en emportant la précieuse correspondance que le nouvel empereur avait vainement tenté de récupérer. Une grande partie de la correspondance fut acquise par les Rothschild pour servir de monnaie d'échange Russie et se trouve depuis une dizaine d'années aux Archives d'Etat à Moscou. Les lettres d'Alexandre et de Katia sont toutes des lettres autographe et numérotées par l'auteur portant comme un journal intime le lieu la date et même l'heure. Elles sont rédigées principalement en français, et toujours quelques phrases et quelques mots isolés en russe; parfois se servant d'un vocabulaire secret (comme bingerles désignant des ébats érotiques). Par mesure de sécurité les lettres ne sont pas signées. La formule ???? ?? ?????? (???? ?? ??????) au masculin ou au féminin (à toi pour toujours) tient lieu de signature. Curieusement Alexandre utilise un papier à lettre au chiffre de son père Nicolas I, décédé depuis déjà 13 ans ! timbre sec et les initiales de la Fabrique Impériale de papier de Saint Petersbourg. Les lettres évoquent sans aucune pudeur et parfois avec moult détails leurs ébats amoureux. L'orthographe d'origine a été respectée.

Victim of a bomb, Alexander was brought to the palace where he agonized in the arms of Katya. Widow, the latter went into exile in Nice, carrying the precious correspondence that the new emperor had vainly tried to recover. Much of the correspondence was purchased by the Rothschilds to act as a bargaining chip Russia and is the last ten years in the State Archives in Moscow. The letters of Alexander and Katie are all numbered and autographed letters by the author on a diary the date and place same time. They are written mainly in French, and still some few isolated words and phrases in Russian, sometimes using a secret vocabulary (such as designating bingerles erotic lovemaking). For security letters are not signed. The formula?? ? ?????? (????? ??????) Masculine or feminine (yours forever)'s signature. Curiously Alexander uses a letterhead with the figure of his father Nicolas I, already dead for 13 years! embossed stamp and initials of the Imperial Factory in St. Petersburg paper.
