Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rasputin and the Russian Revolution Sian Court was published the Romanoffs were reign ing and, considering the fact that she was living in Russia at the time, the author of it, had her identity become known, would have risked being subjected to grave annoyances, and even being sent to that dis tant Siberia where Nicholas II is at present exiled. It was therefore deemed advisable to produce that work as a posthumous one, and Count Paul Vassili was represented as having died before the publication of his Memoirs. This however was not the case, be cause On the contrary he went on collecting infor mation as to all that was taking place at the Russian Court as well as in the whole of Russia, and, consign ing this information to a diary, he went on writing. If one remembers, Count Vassili distinctly foresaw and prophesied in his book most of the things that have occurred since it was published. This fact will perhaps give added interest to the present account Of the Russian Revolution which now sees the light of day for the first time. Though devoid of every thing sensational or scandalous it will prove interest ing to those who have cared for the other books of Count Vassili, for it contains nothing but the truth, and has been compiled chiefly out of the narrations of the principal personages connected in some way.
