20 Tsars and Tsarinas, some touched by genius, some by madness, but all inspired by holy autocracy and imperial ambition are the subject of Simon Sebag Montefiore's gripping talk in this episode. He dips into the secret world of imperial power, murder and revolution to tell the story of the triumph and tragedy of an Empire that still defines Russia today.

Recorded at Chalke Valley History Festival 2016.
