Yet another Rasputin and another Nicky and Alix- boring, IMO. The only thing that looks interesting to me is something new on Alex. III. I too have nothing worthwhile on him and I look forward to the Nalipta volume very much. About the only thing remotely worthwhile I have on him is Alex. III at Gatchina, which is mainly a picture book. I have never liked the man, reactionary and closed minded, but with not much to go on, it is time for an objective assessment, as I see it.
