Description
The memoirs of Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov are a vivid account by a direct participant in the conspiracy and organizer of the assassination of the powerful and mysterious “elder” Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin. A book that still sparks controversy among researchers. Thanks to the sincerity of Yusupov’s personal feelings, his recollections create in the listener the effect of presence during the events described.
The assassination of Rasputin to this day leaves almost nobody indifferent: for some it was seen as a crime, for many—as a heroic deed. Yusupov’s memoirs are not only a description of the assassination itself and its preparation, but also an attempt to understand the origins of “the Rasputin affair,” to analyze the state of Russian society on the eve of the 1917 revolution.
