About the Author

In 1919, the Youssoupoffs left Russia. They sold two Rembrandt paintings (now in the national Gallery in Washington) as well as Princess Irina's jewelry. Contesting their portrayal in an MGM film and a CBS television drama both dealing with Rasputin, they subsequently won large libel settlements in 1934 and 1965.

This review is from: Lost Splendor: The Amazing Memoirs of the Man Who Killed Rasputin (Paperback)

Lost Splendor is a wonderful firsthand account of Russia during the Romanoff dynasty. Prince Felix Youssoupoff was a member of one of Russia's richest families and tells a compelling story of what imperial Russia was like before the revolution. He goes into detail about the killing of Rasputin which he had a hand in. A wonderful book that is a page turner from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars very charming, seeing things in very unique perspective, June 26, 2009

This review is from: Lost Splendor: The Amazing Memoirs of the Man Who Killed Rasputin (Paperback)

he is a prince and educated in very "unique" manner,a very free minded prince.
he sees things in a very artistic way.
He is very proud of his family tree.
He loves his country, and very loyal to his emperior.
There is no boundaries,constrains,or limit in his mind, you can't say he is a pure prince as he understands well about ordinary people, you can't say he is "male" as he sometimes seeing things in very "feminim"way.
Yet, the whole book is very honest, as he does not need to hide some inconvinent truth from the reader.
A very brave prince, yet could think objectly.
Wonderful personality!

This review is from: Lost Splendor: The Amazing Memoirs of the Man Who Killed Rasputin (Paperback)

Enjoyable book, but slanted to make the author look as if he never did anything really wrong. He apparently did the Romanov family a great service, even though they didn't believe it in time to change their actions. It would have been an interesting postscript to explain how he and his wealth escaped and how his family lived afterward.
