From the bestselling author of Stalin and The Last Tsar comes The Rasputin File, a remarkable biography of the mystical monk and bizarre philanderer whose role in the demise of the Romanovs and the start of the revolution can only now be fully known. For almost a century, historians could only speculate about the role Grigory Rasputin played in the downfall of tsarist Russia. But in 1995 a lost file from the State Archives turned up, a file that contained the complete interrogations of Rasputin`s inner circle. With this extensive and explicit amplification of the historical record, Edvard Radzinsky has written a definitive biography, reconstructing in full the fascinating life of an improbable holy man who changed the course of Russian...

Grigory Rasputin, Russian peasant, semi-literate monk and mystic, exercised extraordinary power over Nicholas and Alexandra, the last tsar and tsarina of Russia. His drunkenness, sexual excesses and nepotism - not to mention rumours that he was a German agent - led to his murder in December 1916. Edvard Radzinsky`s biography is the first to draw upon sources and interviews unavailable to previous historians. He unveils the full extent of the emotional relationship between Rasputin and the tsarina, and demonstrates Rasputin`s influence on the tsar, particularly in the conduct of Russia`s disastrous war against Germany. He also sheds new light on the remarkable story of Rasputin`s murder at the Yusupov Palace. Формат издания:...

The art of visionaries, folk creators, spiritualists, recluses, the ‘mad’ and the socially marginalized, once scorned, is now recognized as speaking with great immediacy and power. Among the earliest to value and collect such work was the French artist Jean Dubuffet, who coined the term Art Brut, literally ‘raw art’ – raw because it was ‘uncooked’ by culture, because it came directly from the psyche, touched by a raw nerve. Some fifty years later, a wave of enthusiasm for contemporary folk art has gripped countries as far apart as India and the United States. John Maizels ties these disparate strands together, providing a guide to the self-taught art of the twentieth century. Following a brief history of the recognition and...

St Petersburg. 1870. A child factory worker is mysteriously abducted. A society beauty is sensationally murdered. Two very different crimes show up the deep fissures in Russian society of the late tsarist period. The first is barely noticed by the authorities. The latter draws the full investigative might of St Petersburg`s finest, led by magistrate Porfiry Petrovich. The dead woman had powerful friends - including at least one member of the Romanov family - so when the tsar`s notorious secret police becomes involved, it seems that both crimes may have a political - not to say revolutionary - aspect. A trail of missing children leads to a shocking discovery that takes Porfiry inside the Winter Palace for a confrontation with the Tsar...
