The memoirs of Nikolai Yegorovich Wrangel (1847–1923), father of the art historian N. N. Wrangel and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the South of Russia P. N. Wrangel have not lost their relevance: a famous entrepreneur of his time, an art connoisseur and collector of paintings, the author of dramatic works, he describes how the state in every possible way fettered the initiative of its subjects in the second half of the 19th — early 20th centuries, stifled their undertakings with instructions and bureaucratic tutelage.

Readers are introduced to various spheres of Russian life: the capital and the provinces, the imperial court and the peasantry... Famous historical figures with whom N. E. Wrangel had the chance to meet are vividly characterized: M. A. Bakunin, M. D. Skobelev, S. Yu. Witte, Alexander III and others. The first edition of the book was published by the New Literary Review in 2003 and became a bibliographic rarity.
