Reign: March 12, 1801 – November 19, 1825. Alexander I, nicknamed Alexander the Blessed for his services, was the eldest son of Paul I and his second wife, Maria Feodorovna. He was remembered as a reformer and distinguished himself as a competent diplomat and politician. During his reign, the Russian Empire became one of the most powerful states. The future Emperor Alexander I was born on December 23, 1777. He was Catherine II's favorite grandson. She raised him alone, spending much time in her room. The Empress wanted her grandson Alexander, not her son Paul, to succeed her. He strongly resisted his communication with his father, but the child found common ground with him and even adopted his talent for military affairs. Alexander I grew up intelligent, kind, and easily taught, but lazy and overly conceited. There was constant tension between his grandmother and father, and the young man was forced to adapt to both, which made him a two-faced man. He did his military service.

1801
You were Alexander I's servant, his servant, and the nanny of little five-year-old Nicholas, the future emperor. Therefore, you knew French, Prussian, and basic subjects like mathematics and physics. Your duties primarily involved raising Nicholas, but you also had to tidy Alexander's room.
After the overthrow of Paul I, you were a little sad, because you were his faithful servant. But you quickly recovered from that state. And then, one morning, Alexander invited you to his place. When you arrived, you asked: "Your Imperial Highness, what happened? "The answer you received was: "Mademoiselle, as you know, my brother's birthday is coming soon and I don't know what to give him." Alexander thought for a moment and continued, "Since you are his nanny, I think you should know what he might want." You answered quickly: "A dog. A Pomeranian will do." *
The fate of the emperor's favorite.
Many people think that the emperor's favorite is the girl with the sweetest and easiest life. But no. Being the emperor's favorite means being constantly discussed at court, constantly listening to requests from servants and officials to convey something to the emperor or to ask for something.
Most often, girls aren't asked whether they want to become the emperor's favorite; instead, sometimes the family decides, and sometimes they're simply not asked. The favorite isn't asked when she wants to come—she can be called at any time of day, even late at night, and she must smile.
And in general, the emperor can find favorites anywhere - among the servants (even the empress), at a ball, an event, at someone's house, anywhere at all.
The day of the emperor's mistresses was also scheduled: several hours of preparation for the day, then the obligatory arrival at the ball (if the favorite is not a servant), arrival to the emperor, accompanying the imperial family (if the favorite is a servant), and much more.
In short, life was not easy for the favorite.
