On the eve of 1914, the Yusupov princes topped a list of approximately one hundred of the most distinguished and wealthy representatives of the Russian aristocracy. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic and social status of this small stratum of landowners, which retained its political and cultural influence during the final decades of the Russian Empire. The book examines the adaptation of the Russian landowning aristocracy to the capitalist modernization of the period 1890-1914 and the development of urban and rural estate complexes. It examines the educational and professional preferences, as well as certain aspects of the daily life and social psychology of representatives of the noble elite. The author devotes special attention to the role of the aristocracy in court life under the last Russian monarch, and the relationships between the Yusupovs and members of the imperial family. A wide range of sources was used in preparing this book, including unpublished archival materials introduced into scholarly circulation for the first time. For historians, humanities specialists, and anyone interested in Russian history and culture.
