Memoirs of Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich, grandson of Nicholas I and son-in-law of Alexander III, - not only a description of his life with wonderfully interesting details of palace etiquette, peculiarities of upbringing and education of the children of the Romanov house. This is the view of an intelligent, educated, devoted to his country on the most difficult period of Russian history. Russo-Turkish war and the first experience of recognizing the real life outside the gates of the palace, another attempt on the king, his morganatic marriage, then the death and accession to the throne of Alexander III, the power and intelligence of which the Grand Duke sincerely admires. Then the terrible events after the accession of Nicholas II: Khodynka, revolution, war, revolution again, the death of the royal family, the flight from the country of the Grand Duke's family. He tells his story without unnecessary pathos and drama, soberly assessing the tragic events and the figures of their participants, trying to understand the meaning of what is happening and his own existence.
