I'm not sure, you can look here in the shop: http://www.labirint.ru/help/?helptxt=%E7%E0+%F0%F3%E1%E5%E6#dz
Or ask the editor: http://www.st-tatiana.ru/publish/

You are welcome! Yes, I think you'll not be disappointed. It contains also a lot of pictures of Gibbs during all his life, Hitrovo's and Hendrikova's families, persons related to the Civil war, views of the Ipatiev house and Tobolsk. And the other information was new for me. I liked best of all documents of Rita and Nastenka. There are Rita's short memories (!!!) and some unknown 1914-1916 letters to her!

Do any pictures exist of Nicholas and Alexandra's bedroom in Tobolsk?

In the same book I have pictures of Alexandra's and Nicolas' sitting rooms and his study room. Are they unknown, too?

Wow!!! In good old American vernacular, may I say, Where the hell have these fan****ingtastic photos been hiding for a century? Outstanding. Now I have another book to track down and I couldn't be happier. Those photos of Dolgorukov, Kirpichnikov, Bittner,Ersberg, and Tegleva are rare, priceless, and provide wonderful faces to those names and characters we've long tried to conjure up.

Spasibo, Antonina!

Well, so that those of you who do not know Russian won’t feel left out, the core of the book is the Russian translation of Trewin’s book on Gibbs, and Welch’s, with excerpts from Benagh’s -- all of which first appeared in English. The editors of this present book were able to contact several of Gibbs’ relatives, so the book has many more of his photos, fuller diary entries, later correspondence with Gilliard and others, etc. You might think of it as a fuller supplement to the other three books.

And then, since the editors had found a lot of valuable material on Rita Khitrovo and Anastasia Hendrikova (but not enough for a separate book), they included those things at the end of their book.

The footnotes and commentary also contain a wealth of information.

Thanks, Inok Nikolai. I've read all three books on Gibbs, though some time ago, and they run together in my mind somewhat. Even with this new one being something of a translation of Trewin's  and Welch's, the elaborated  material on Gibbs, along with coverage of Rita K., and Nastya Hendrikova should be worth the effort.

And I've found that footnotes , commentary and other supplemental details lead to wonderful new facts and further references.

It was posted on this Forum long time ago:


A bit bigger:



That latter,larger photo of the tarantasses gives a somewhat different impression of the scene as the Romanovs boarded them than I'd previously held. Namely it seems basically light,that is, daylight ,and the conventional  narrative describes the departure as at around 4am and still fairly dark. I thought daylight began in that part of Russia in mid-Spring much later, or put another way, that nights were longer then and there. Though the IF had been awake all night in any case, a morning departure seems at least a little less depressing, though it was very much so for them in any case.

I would love to order this book, but it looks like that it is sold only in Russia. Has anyone ever ordered books directly from Russia? How long doe it take and is it ok to do so?

Thanks

One day I would love to read a book about the people who followed the imperial family into exile.
