The death of Peter I, the struggle for power, the victory of Catherine I and Alexander Menshikov, the coronation of eleven-year-old Peter II, the intrigues of the Dolgorukov princes, and the ascent of Anna Ioannovna to the throne—all this is portrayed in the Series directed by Svetlana Druzhinina. Attention is paid both to significant historical events and to the characters’ family relationships, which hold many secrets and mysteries. The production designers recreated 18th-century interiors and costumes, making the Series realistic and immersing viewers in the atmosphere of those times.
The leading roles were performed by such renowned actors as Nikolai Karachentsov, Dmitry Kharatyan, Natalya Egorova, Sergei Shakurov, Vladimir Ilyin, Irina Lachina, and others. If you enjoy historical dramas that not only entertain but also educate, watch «The Secrets of Palace Coups» in our online cinema.
