Memoirs of a Noble Lady: From Lady-in-Waiting to Emigrant. From the Sunken World

Countess Maria Eduardovna Kleinmichel - a socialite from the upper echelons of the Russian Empire, who lived through the reigns of three emperors and personally knew many people who left their mark in history. Having traveled the path from a... young lady-in-waiting to an elderly hostess of a St. Petersburg salon, where she warmly welcomed aristocrats, ministers, generals, and diplomats, she found herself involved in many secrets of political life. She was already over 70 years old when the year 1917 forever changed life in Russia. Finding herself in exile, Countess Kleinmichel deemed it her duty to write memoirs about the "sunken world" of the Russian Empire, for she had much to remember.
