At the Court of the Last Tsar by A. A. Mossolov provides an insider's look into the final years of Imperial Russia through the eyes of the court's chief administrator. Mossolov's memoir, drawn from his time serving under Tsar Nicholas II, offers intimate details about court life, rigid protocols, imperial personalities, and the isolated world of the Romanovs. He portrays a monarchy increasingly out of touch with its people and gives revealing sketches of key figures including the Tsarina, Rasputin, and members of the imperial retinue. Far from mere gossip, Mossolov's reflections provide a rare blend of bureaucracy, opulence, and political tension, shedding light on the decay of autocracy in the face of revolution. This is a compelling historical document of the twilight of a dynasty.
