The author breaks new ground by showing how imperial ceremony and imagery were not simply displays of the majesty of the sovereign and his entourage, but also instruments central to the exercise of absolute power in a multinational empire. In developing this interpretation, Wortman presents vivid descriptions of coronations, funerals, parades, trips through the realm, and historical celebrations and reveals how these ceremonies were constructed or reconstructed to fit the political and cultural narratives in the lives and reigns of successive tsars. He describes the upbringing of the heirs as well as their roles in these narratives and relates their experiences to the persistence of absolute monarchy in Russia long after its demise in Europe. 410 0$aStudies of the Harriman Institute. 606 $aHISTORY / Russia & the Former Soviet Union$2bisacsh 607 $aRussia$xSocial life and customs$y18th century 607 $aRussia$xSocial life and customs$y19th century 607 $aRussia$xCourt and courtiers 607 $aRussia$xKings and rulers 615 7$aHISTORY / Russia & the Former Soviet Union. 676 $a947 686 $aME 2100$2rvk 700 $aWortman$b Richard S$0681703 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790630603321 996 $aScenarios of Power$91272146 997 $aUNINA
