Memories of the Russian Court was published in the 1920s and was written by Anna Vyrubova, a close friend of the last Imperial family of Russia.� She wrote the book to set right the many false and invented stories written about Nicholas and Alexandra and her relationship with them.� Alexandra treated Anna as a daughter and Anna paid the price for this intimacy.� Hatred for the Imperial family etended to Anna. She was been harshly judged as an non-entity and a cypher by the 'tabloid' journalism of the time.� Never a simpleton or stupid as she was portrayed, Anna was well-educated and a member of the aristocracy.� I hope you will enjoy her book.
