Bulygin’s memoirs are of great historical importance, providing details of the last days of Emperor Nicholas II and his family, and the investigation into their murder, which continues to this day. First English-language edition in 50 years!

This book falls into two parts: the first offers a firsthand account of the events leading to the downfall of the Russian monarchy in February 1917, by Alexander Kerensky; the second about the last months and death of Emperor Nicholas II and his family by Paul Bulygin. Both Kerensky and Bulygin write from personal experience and eye-witness accounts.

Alexander Kerensky is best known as the leader of the Provisional Party, and the man responsible for sending the Imperial Family into exile to Tobolsk in Siberia.

Kerensky outlines the background, and the steps leading to the regicide. He explains in his own words, his personal impressions of Nicholas II, his family and his entourage. He goes on to discuss why he chose to send the Tsar and his family into exile to Tobolsk. The main body of his memoirs, however, is a first hand account of the murder, of the abortive attempts to forestall it, and attempts to rescue the Imperial Family, told with a fervour and horror that time has failed to erase.

Paul Bulygin served as an officer in the Russian Imperial Army, formerly in command of the personal guard of Nicholas II’s mother the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna.

Bulygin took part in attempts to rescue the Imperial Family. In 1919, he assisted Nikolai Sokolov, in his investigation of their death in Ekaterinburg.

Bulygin argues that the order to murder the Tsar and his family came directly from Lenin.

Both Kerensky and Bulygin share their views on Rasputin and Anna Vyrubova, among others, and address the question of the withdrawal of the British offer of asylum to the Imperial Family.
