Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich. Memories in Russia. In Emigration

The memoirs of Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich, grandson of Nicholas I and son-in-law of Alexander III, are not only a description of his life with remarkably interesting details of court etiquette, the peculiarities of raising and educating the children of... the Romanov family. This is the perspective of a smart, educated, devoted man to his country on the complex period of Russian history. The Russo-Turkish War and the first experience of recognizing real life beyond the palace gates; another assassination attempt on the tsar, his morganatic marriage, then the death and ascension to the throne of Alexander III, whose might and intellect the Grand Duke sincerely admires.
Then the terrible events after the ascension of Nicholas II: Khodynka, revolution, war, another revolution, the death of the royal family, the escape of the Grand Duke's family from the country. He narrates his story without unnecessary pathos and drama, soberly assessing the tragic events and the figures involved, trying to understand the meaning of what is happening and his existence.
