Letâs play True or False: Whatâs real in Nikolayâs story?
True: Kuban is a real region in Russia. It encompasses Sochi, where the Winter Olympics were once held. However, there was never a kingdom or a king like the one featured in this series.
True: the region of Kuban was indeed âsettledâ by Russia in the mid-late 1700s in order to provide a buffer between the Ottoman Empire and Russia and to reclaim the Crimea for Russia. These efforts were stimulated by the 1768-1774 Russo-Turkish war.
True: a large part of the population that settled the area were Cossacks from nearby regions
True: the Cossacks were/are known for their âtrickâ riding abilities in battle.
True: both rebellions cited in Nikolayâs story took place. The 1825 revolt Nikolay is tempted to join did occur and was unsuccessful.
True: the rebellions were led by officers and there were connections inside the palace. The Union of Salvation was a real secret society throughout Russia.
False: there is no historic proof that Britain, privately or otherwise, financed or supported the rebellion. The arms deal subplot is my own addition. However, members of the Union had what is historically described as âBritish idealsâ regarding government and industrialisation.
True: Soho was an immigrant neighborhood in early nineteenth-century London, as were the squares where Nikolay establishes his riding academy.

Londonâlate winter, 1823
St John the Divine was entirely wrong about the end of the world. Prince Nikolay Baklanov had, in the last hour, arrived at a revelation of his own: the four horsemen of the Apocalypse werenât men armed with swords at all, but, in fact, four young ladies, armed with formidable matchmaking mamas who would give those swords a run for sharpness. He was quite convinced, as he barked at Miss Ransome for the third time to get deep into the corners on her turns, that the world as he knew it would not be done in by widespread warfare and pestilence, but by the trampling to death of his patience over the course of several Thursday afternoons as the girls sawed on their horsesâ mouths and disregarded his oft-repeated instructions.
