Lost Splendor: The Amazing Memoirs of the Man Who Killed Rasputin | Prince Felix Youssoupoff
3 posts | 3 read
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.

An entertaining memoir of a lost world. I'm drawn to the decadence of it all . Even his killing of Rasputin couldn't save the Russia he knew.

A fascinating memoir from the man who led the plot to kill Rasputin. His life was one of privilege and decadence until Russia unraveled. My fascination with the Russian Aristocracy continues....
