The diary of Princess Maria Illarionovna Vasilchikova (1917–1978), first published in the UK in 1984, immediately became a bestseller and has been translated into many languages. The daughter of Russian aristocratic émigrés, an employee of the German Foreign Ministry from 1940, she was a friend of high-ranking officers and diplomats involved in the July 20, 1944, plot, which ended in the unsuccessful assassination attempt on Hitler by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg.

After the plot's failure, Vasilchikova kept notes using a special cursive cipher. This is one of the rare surviving documents that provides an accurate socio-psychological picture of the aristocratic opposition. It is the diary of a courageous and intelligent, talented and observant Russian aristocrat, loyal to both her homeland and her culture, who maintained her integrity and honor in the most difficult historical circumstances.
