Read this for contemporary information on the court of Tsar Nicholas II. It has some interesting insights from someone who saw how things ended for the Romanov's in their lifetime. It was a good read though a bit dry at times.

Väga põnevad mälestused ja hinnangud ühest huvitavast ja murrangulise perioodi eelloost. Sel ajal muidugi autor veel ei teadnud, et maailm saab kohe-kohe muutuma, mis muudab lugemise veelgi kütkestavamaks.
