The most famous member of the family is Felix Yusupov. The murderer of Grigory Rasputin belonged to one of the wealthiest and most influential families of the Russian Empire. The Yusupov ancestors, governors of the Golden Horde and khans of the Nogai Horde, went into the service of the Russian sovereigns. From then on, they always remained close to the throne. Prince Grigory was a close associate of Peter the Great and a hero of the Battle of Poltava, and Prince Nikolai was one of the most prominent nobles of Catherine the Great's reign. The Yusupovs included many philanthropists and patrons of the arts, but they also did not neglect themselves: they built luxurious palaces, gifted their wives with expensive dresses and jewelry, and one of them even created a garden with exotic plants and animals on his estate.

The illustrious family began to decline with the end of the Russian Empire. The last prince in the family, Felix, died in exile. However, the mystery of the Yusupov family curse and their eccentric antics still haunt historians. The Yusupovs gaze at us from ancient portraits, their appearance combining Eastern sophistication and mystery with Russian daring.
