| Streszczenie: | "In Michael Romanov: Brother of the Last Tsar, translator Helen Azar and Romanov historian Nicholas B.A. Nicholson present for the first time in English the annotated 1916-1918 diaries and letters of Grand Duke Michael from the period in which he learns of the murder of Rasputin, attempts to preserve the throne for his brother Nicholas during the February Revolution, and finds himself named Emperor when his brother abdicates not only for himself, but for his son Alexei. Michael's diaries provide rare insight into the fall of the Empire, the rise and fall of the Provisional Government and the brief Russian republic, and the terrifying days of the February and October Revolutions after which Michael finds himself a prisoner who would meet his end in the Siberian city of Perm."-- |
