Books about the Romanovs and Imperial Russia / Re: A New Rasputin Biography by Margarita Nelipa

I am still digesting it. The book is very dense, full of information and well written. I find myself reading a section then reading it over again. There are many new theories in the book that I am still thinking about. It is so well sourced that anyone with questions can work through their issues and/or speak to Margarita on here. It is much more then 'just' a book on the death or Rasputin - there is so much surrounding and background information in it that makes it a must have book and compelling read. To summarize I am still working through it and will be for awhile. The *BEST* news for me - at the end, in the writeup on Margarita, she announces that she is working on a new bio on Alexander III - I hope it is packed as densely as this book - I can't wait.
Thanks Margarita for a great read...
More to follow.
