The memoirs of Fyodor Sergeyevich Olferyev (1885–1971) are one of the few examples of an unbiased account of the complex events in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. In his memoirs, written in exile, the author—a member of the service nobility—not only recreates the facts of the final years of the Russian Empire's decline, which he witnessed, but also assesses them from a non-political perspective.

The book recounts his years of study in the Page Corps and the Nikolaev Military Academy, service near the imperial court, and meetings with Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich and the Empress. A career military man, Olferyev experienced firsthand the full bitterness of defeats on the fronts of World War I and the betrayals of 1917. He witnessed the Tsar's abdication, the collapse of Headquarters and the army, and lived through the horrors of the Civil War and the hardships of emigration.
