Anna Taneeva-Vyrubova (1884-1964), the closest friend and maid of honor of the last Russian Empress Aleksandra Fedorovna, lover of Nicholas the Second and Grigorii Rasputin, was in the midst of the main events of the Russian monarchy`s life. There are several works in this book. One of them is a real memoir by Vyrubova first published in Paris in 1922. The other, excerpts from her diary, is a literary deception by the Russian writer Aleksei Tolstoi and the historian P.E. Shchegolev (1927). However both documents are historically valuable, and include a great deal of interesting details about the last of the Romanovs. Also included are letter to Vyrubova from the members of the Russian royal family (pp. 211-266).
