In his book "Emperor Nicholas I," Russian historian and historiographer Alexander Nikolayevich Bokhanov reveals to the reader the identity of "the true son of Russia - Tsar Nikolai Pavlovich, who left an indelible mark on the history of the Fatherland by his work of serving the Motherland." The disinterestedness, self-sacrifice and devotion in the cause of serving Russia, shown by Nicholas I, are important not only for understanding the past of our country, but also for creating the future.
