Pages of my life. Vyrubova (Taneyeva) A.A.

“Pages of my life” are the priceless testimonies of Anna Alexandrovna Taneyeva (Vyrubova) about the life of the family of the last Russian emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov. Even the investigators of the Provisional Government, who sought to find confirmation of the myth of the "dark forces" surrounding the Russian throne, could not help but admit that the testimony of Anna Alexandrovna were impeccably reliable. Being a friend of the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, A. A. Taneyeva knew all the members of the royal family well, was a witness to both the gentle love of the August spouses and their courage in the transfer of sorrows and their strong hope for the Lord.

thinking about thinking about The reasons for the catastrophe that befell Russia in 1917, Anna Alexandrovna came to the conclusion that by the beginning of the 20th century, higher society almost completely lost the understanding of what the king means for Russia, reducing its role only to the political component. Higher society was corroded by envy, intrigues and, as a result, a conspiracy and betrayal of his sovereign. The punishment did not force itself to wait long - Russia plunged into bloody troubles.

The text of the memoirs of A.A. Taneyeva (Vyrubova) was reproduced by the 1923 Berlin edition.

In the preface and afterword, publishers introduce readers to the fate of Anna Alexandrovna herself (nun Maria), who took tonsure five years after the martyrdom of the royal family.
