Roksolana or otherwise Hjurrem, not only the heroine of the popular series the Magnificent century, but also a real character. Once in the harem of the Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, after it was stolen Crimean Tatars fast enough could from the status of a slave-concubine go to the status of the woman he loved Sultan Suleiman. When Alexandra (according to other sources Anastasia) fell into the Sultan's harem she immediately attracted the attention of a sovereign. Although, as it is known from some sources, was not absolute beauty, but had a zest and analytical mind. The Charter of the primitive and obedient concubines, noisy and cheerful Alexander became the Sultan of this argument and made a novelty in his life. At that time his wife (bass кадина) Махидевран, gave birth to Prince Sultan Mustafa, took Alexander very negatively. After some time of Alexander adopted Islam and was given the name Hjurrem, which translates as fun or giggling. Hjurrem very quickly gaining momentum and rose. After a while fully taking Sultan she became his official wife, it was all in the harem. Suleiman was so in love with Hjurrem that did not take any concubine, and she was his almost the only woman, and angry Махидевран was exiled from the ruler's Palace. His love Suleiman expressed in the verses, he worked under the pseudonym Мухибби.

Now many years later, I'd like to think, so who really was a prisoner? Alexander trapped in Turkish captivity and rapidly you who enchant the Sultan or the Suleiman, myself not knowing that fell under the strong influence of Russian slaves? And after all, it was for him is not just a skilful mistress, she was his friend and саратником. He discussed with her, and court intrigue, and public Affairs. We can safely say that Hjurrem was a great person, and talk about its toughness is not necessary, so as not knowing the real harem intrigue, it is not necessary and should condemn anyone. At the present time, women achieve their only constant sawing and crap. Nobody thinks about the fact that the real and true power is seeking gradually. With the help of the mind, kindness, and tricks. Let's take an example from Hjurrem and learns how to operate the man carefully and cleverly, and not to seek his own with the help of shouts and accusations! And the main thing to be able to love yourself and don't cry, and just laugh!
