He was the Second in Command to Count Woldemar Freedericksz the Chief Marshal of the Court. Mossolov gives a detailed account of life at the Court and the idiosyncracies of the Imperial Couple. 2) Felix Youssoupoff was the heir of the richest aristocratic family in Russia. He went to Oxford for his studies where he first met Oswald Rayner, the future British SIS (i.e. MI6) agent in Russia. Youssoupoff is famed for arranging and performing the murder of Rasputin. This is his account of how he planned and actioned the heinous plot. 3) Pavel Bykov was a Russian military official who not only came to appreciate the revolution but became an ardent Bolshevik. His book was banned in Russia but on he continent became the first admission to the killings of the ex-Imperial Family and their aides. Bykov describes the dastardly deed in detail and the disposal of the bodies. Decades later, clues from this book were used to help locate the graves.
