The Tsaritsa, Alexandra Feodorvna consort of Tsar Nicholas II was not an alcoholic. During the final years of the empire rumors were rife in the capital; Petrograd as well as Moscow and Kiev accusing the Empress of many things which she was not. Revolutionaries and later traitorous members of the aristocracy spread stories of the Empress as well as her four daughters being drunks, drug addicts and mistresses of Rasputin and during the war enemy German pies, this last was the only lie that truly hurt the Tsaritsa.

Indeed, the Empress was perhaps the most loyal subject in the Empire. She instilled this same patriotism in her daughters all of whom including the Empress served as Red Cross nurses during World War I. On the eve of the outbreak of hostilities in August of 1914 while entertaining the French president M. Poincare, quoted the Empress as saying that ever since she married the Tsar in 1894 she married the nation as well and loved it because it was the land of her husband and children. In fact society scorned Alexandra in her early married years for her zeal as "matuska" the mother of the Russian people.
