The Yussupovs / Re: Mistress of Felix, husband of Zenaide
« on: November 21, 2008, 11:16:33 AM »
In my own very personal opinion, I find very hard to believe this story and I am not saying this story is not true, but I find hard to believe that nobody, not even Felix or anybody else wrote anything about Felix Sr and his “other” family. And it is not like people did not write anything about The Yussupov family. I have read good & bad stories about Felix Jr, but no one seems to mention anything about his Half brothers & half sisters.. The Yussupov were not exactly low profile, especially Felix & Irina, and people wrote stories of them of the times when they were loaded with money, like their travels, their parties and Zenaida’s Jewell's and of the times they were penniless, like Irina doing their laundry on the bath tub for they could not afford a maid or Felix Jr. making a big scene at an auction house (It was Christie's, I believe) the time the family's valuables were being auctioned by Soviet Russian Government and I believe the last ones were written with a little of sarcasm for Felix Jr. was not the most popular aristocrat among the Russian émigré community. He was very well known and respected, but not very well liked…. And yet, no one even had a comment (good or bad) about their immediate “half” family, although they lived very close to each other and according to the sources of some of the participants in this thread, they were in touch with each other, at least for a while……. I find this Intriguing indeed…
