Memoirs of a noble lady. The path from maid of honor to emigrant. From the Drowned World

Countess Maria Eduardovna Kleinmichel is a socialite from the high society of the Russian Empire, who survived three emperors during her long life and personally knew many people who left their mark on history. Having gone from a young maid... of honor to an elderly hostess of a St. Petersburg salon, who friendly received aristocrats, ministers, generals and diplomats, she found herself involved in many secrets of political life. She was already over 70 years old when 1917 changed life in Russia forever. Finding herself in exile, Countess Kleinmichel considered it her duty to write memoirs about the “drowned world” of the Russian Empire, because she had something to remember.
