Rasputin and the Russian Revolution is an exciting look at the personality of Rasputin by a contemporary observer of the last days of the Romanov monarchy and the revolution. Princess Radziwill was an intimate of royals and witnessed Rasputin's deeds. She was one of few people surviving the revolution who could share the intimate details of the royal family's lives and the role of Rasputin in the upcoming political turmoil. Radziwill accuses Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra of too much fascination with Rasputin, which negatively affected further country development.
