Historian Orlando Figes presents the extraordinary story of the relationship between photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Produkin-Gorskii and the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II. A pioneer in colour photography, Gorskii's pictures offer a unique record of a culture swept away by the Bolshevik revolution of 1917.
