NOTES
These are the memoirs of Anna Alexandrovna Vyrubova, a close friend of the last Imperial family of Russia, and aim to set right the many false and invented stories written about Nicholas II and Alexandra and Anna's relationship with them. The book provides rare descriptions of the home life of the Tsar and his family, vividly portrays her perils in prison and her narrow escape from execution, and recollects the enormous hardship she endured avoiding the Bolsheviks before escaping to Finland in December 1920. A truly fascinating read
