Vladimir Petrovich Anichkov was a Russian banker and entrepreneur. He headed a branch of the Volzhsk-Kama Bank for a long time, and as a result, found himself at the very center of the February and subsequent events in the Urals and Siberia. Soon after the revolution, Anichkov joined the Committee for Public Safety. In his book, the author recounts how he survived the Red Terror in the outskirts of Yekaterinburg. After the Bolsheviks came to power and nationalized the banks, Anichkov was arrested and later fled. He worked in the Ministry of Finance under Kolchak's government. The work is full of vivid observations and rare details. The narrative of events and historical figures, not fictional but absolutely real, reads, without exaggeration, like an adventure novel. The atmosphere of that time is conveyed superbly, and the names are familiar to anyone interested in the history of the Fatherland: the exiled princes Sergei Mikhailovich, Konstantin, and Igor Konstantinovich Romanov, the investigator into the murder of the royal family, Nikolai Sokolov, the valet of Emperor Nicholas II, Terenty Chemodurov, and a string of contemporaries caught up in the maelstrom of the revolutionary upheaval...
