Vladimir Nikolaevich Voeikov (1868, Tsarskoye Selo - 1947, Djursholm, Sweden) - close associate of Nicholas II, palace commandant (1913-1917), major general of the retinue. The memoirs describe the events preceding the February Revolution, and then the whole of 1917 and its consequences for the author, the country and the tsar. Foreign policy intrigues and the chain of events that led to the First World War and Russia's participation in it; court vanity and envy; Peterhof, Tsarskoye Selo, Livadia and the life of the royal family; both revolutions under the critical eye of a courtier; Voeikov's ordeals "on the run", described at the same time as terrible and with a subtle sense of humor. A sad but fascinating story. In addition to the royal family, the book features such famous personalities as Rodzianko, Rasputin, Vyrubova, Milyukov, Kerensky, Brusilov and others.

A supporter of the now popular "traditional values", Voeikov, wholly devoted to the imperial family, evokes either sincere admiration, sympathy or irritation.
