Riassunto

Rasputin's is one of the most famous deaths in history. Now, his assassin's thrilling memoir is finally here in paperback. Born to great riches in the days before the Russian Revolution, Prince Felix observed at close range the rampant corruption and intrigues of the imperial court, which culminated in the rise to power and influence of the sinister monk Rasputin. In 1916, Prince Felix and several aristocratic cohorts killed Rasputin, which - more than any other single event - brought about the cataclysmic upheaval of Tsarist Russia.

L'autore:

In 1919, the Youssoupoffs left Russia. They sold two Rembrandt paintings (now in the national Gallery in Washington) as well as Princess Irina's jewelry. Contesting their portrayal in an MGM film and a CBS television drama both dealing with Rasputin, they subsequently won large libel settlements in 1934 and 1965.
