Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Russian lady-in-waiting's memoirs of the court and revolutionAfter the Russian Revolution and the fall and murder of the ruling Romanov family in 1918, many books were written by those close to the personalities of the time describing the final days of the imperial Russian court. These books were eagerly read when first published and interest in this subject has endured to the present day. This book, originally published under the less than informative title 'Memories of the Russian Court' may have escaped the notice of many readers interested in the period. It was written by a lady-in-waiting at the court, who held the distinction of being an intimate of the Tsarina Alexandria Fyodorovna. So close was their relationship that they became confirmed 'best' friends. It is widely accepted that no one knew the Tsarina better than Anna Viroubova and the Tsarina shared her fascination with and admiration for the controversial monk, Rasputin. Viroubova was an acolyte who loyally and dangerously championed Rasputin's cause as his influence declined. During the Great War, Anna Viroubova trained to become a Red Cross nurse, created her own hospital and worked closely with the Tsarina in the care of the wounded. With the onset of the revolution Viroubova was arrested, imprisoned, interrogated and narrowly avoided execution. A chance meeting with friends gave her the opportunity to escape and she suffered many hardships while fleeing from the Bolsheviks before she arrived in Finland, where she lived until her death. This book vividly describes the author's life during this period.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Memories of the Russian Court' provides an intimate and evocative firsthand account of the final days of the Romanov dynasty. Written by Anna Viroubova, the closest friend and confidante of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, this memoir offers a unique perspective on the private lives of the Russian Imperial family during one of history's most turbulent eras. Viroubova takes readers behind the closed doors of the Alexander Palace, detailing the daily routines, spiritual devotion, and personal struggles of Tsar Nicholas II, his wife, and their children.The narrative sheds significant light on the controversial figure of Grigori Rasputin, offering a defense of his presence in the court from an insider's point of view. As the political landscape of Russia shifts toward revolution, the book captures the growing isolation of the monarchy and the eventual collapse of the Tsarist regime. From the splendor of royal ceremonies to the hardships of imprisonment following the 1917 Revolution, Viroubova documents the tragic downfall of a centuries-old empire with profound loyalty and detail.A vital historical source, 'The Memories of the Russian Court' remains an essential read for those interested in the Romanovs, the Russian Revolution, and the intricate social dynamics of the Imperial Russian court. It is a haunting reflection on a vanished world and the personal tragedies that defined its end.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
