The sad story of that other Alexei
This lost old Russian classic has inspired a very recent Russian film about the OTHER crown prince named Alexei, but I cannot imagine a film as well developed as this profound text, full of explanations for the motivations of all the main characters in the real life drama of Alexei Petrovich. The sadistic Peter feels his conscience pricked from time to time by the relation of father to son, while the poor, not quite Christ-like Tsarevich yearns for his father's love almost in terms of 'why hast thou forsaken me'. Merejkovsky's leitmotif, the Aphrodite of Praxiteles, proves to represent the hapless heir's undoing - the peasant girl Afrosinya who so heartlessly betrays him. All very much worth the time to unravel. But the most important idea is Orthodoxy, persecuted by Peter and upheld splendidly by his son, who comes across here as a martyr after all in spite of all that at least in this book has made him a human being -- perhaps even because of it.
