The image of the last Russian Empress Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova remains ambiguous and raises questions. The tragic events experienced by a person in everyday life determine her behavior, which in turn demonstrates her true desires and aspirations, and also reveals the traits of character. For the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, such an event was the February Revolution and the abdication in 1917, the study of which raises the question — how Alix experienced those days — as an empress or an ordinary woman. The author suggested that Alix’s strategy of behavior was oriented towards the social status of the spouse, and was not her own.
