I think I'm gonna buy your book, Margarita, as it looks pretty interesting. It's been a few years since I wanted to do it but it was always "out of stock" on Amazon. I'm delighted to see it's been reprinted, and with new infos inside

I am glad that you have made this decision. Thank you in advance!

How does it differ from the original version?
New research, new discoveries?
Please give us a brief comparison of the two books.
Thank you!

Hello Inok Nikolai,

The Rasputin book on which this one is based was published in 2010 by a boutique publisher. Despite its small print run, it attracted a keen audience including several universities and schools who continued to express interest in the now out-of-print book. During the intervening period, I acquired several new archival files, documents (letters and telegrams), obtained new photographs and a clearer set of forensic police photos, some which have never been published elsewhere. Though the content is largely similar, the book presents strengthened evidence regarding the conduct of this murder and its aftermath. I also took the opportunity to correct a few minor errors and remove some extraneous material. My updated manuscript was recently accepted for publication by a large publishing house (Wild Blue Press) in the U.S., which will enable the truth about Rasputin and the manner of his death, to receive a wider audience.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,

Margarita Nelipa

Hi Forum members,

Delighted to confirm that my fully revised work KILLING RASPUTIN: The Murder That Ended The Russian Empire, is now available in e-book format for pre-order on Amazon. The print version will be available shortly ....

My publisher's [WILDBLUE PRESS] description:

"At last a book about the so-called “Mad Monk” of Imperial Russia that lays to rest the myths and reveals the truth about one of the most controversial characters in human history while exploring the impact his murder had on a dynasty, a people, and a country.

Written in three parts, KILLING RASPUTIN begins with a biography that describes how a simple unkempt “holy man” from the wilds of Siberia became a friend of Emperor Nicholas II and his empress, Alexandra, at the most crucial moment in Russian history. Part Two examines the infamous murder of Rasputin through the lens of a “cold case” homicide investigation. And lastly, the book considers the connection between a cold-blooded assassination and the revolution that followed; a revolution that led to civil war and the rise of the Soviet Union.

Unique about this book on Rasputin, is that the author combines Russian heritage (her parents were forced out of Russia during World War II and arrived as refugees in Australia in 1948) with medical science and legal training. Nelipa relied on Russian-language sources that she translated rather than depend on the interpretations of others. Her primary sources include police documents and witness testimonies, an autopsy report, diaries, letters and memoirs written in their native language by the participants in these historic events. Secondary sources include Russian-languages newspapers and other publications from that era. The narrative is copiously referenced and augmented with photographs (including graphic forensic photographs) and other documents, some of them published here for the first time.

Step into the imperial court of a 300-year-old dynasty in its final days with one of the most fascinating characters ever to grab our imaginations, judge whether Margarita Nelipa makes her case regarding his death, and if you agree that it was “the murder that ended the Russian empire.”

Rasputin / Re: New Biography of Rasputin out in November

« on: February 12, 2017, 11:16:31 PM »

Douglas Smith claimed on p 780 (Notes) that I misread Grand Duke Nikolai Mikhailovich's diary. It is Smith who failed to understand that when Nikolai Mikhailovich wrote 5.30 it meant 5.30 in the morning. The reason being that Grand Duke N. M. wrote events sequentially as they happened. The telephone call telling him that Rasputin was murdered, is the first diary entry of the day and occurs well before speaking about his lunch (obed).
 
Smith named “Russian Diary” as the basis of his claim. However, that book @ p 74 discusses a different set of events, where, at 5 p.m. a man named Seymour visited the anonymous diarist to tell him that Rasputin had been shot but it was not known if Rasputin was dead.
