Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Princess Catherine Radziwill (1858-1941) was a Polish-Russian aristocrat, born in Russia into the Polish-Lituanian House of Rzewuski. On her maternal side was the Russian Dashkov-Vorontsov family, and her mother, who died giving birth to Catherine, was the daughter of writer Dmitry Vasilyevich Dashkov who served as Nicholas I's minister of justice. There were other literary connections within the family, among them her great-great-grandfather Waclaw Rzewuski, a noted writer, her aunt Ewelina, wife of Balzac, and her half-brother Stanislaw Rzewuski who became a novelist and literary critic. Aged 15 in 1873 Catherine married Polish-Lithuanian Prince Wilhelm Radziwill, an officer in the Prussian army, with whom she had seven children, five of whom survived to adulthood. She made her own literary debut in 1884 under the pseudonym Count Paul Vasili, with a series of articles later collected in book form as Berlin Society. In 1888 Catherine moved to St Petersburg where she held a prominent position at the Russian court and began an affair with Cherevin, the court commandant, a trusted friend of Alexander III. Her situation took a downturn in the mid-1890s with the deaths of both her lover and the Tsar, and, now estranged from her husband and children, she acquired debts which could not be covered by the magazine articles she produced. In 1899 she left for South Africa in pursuit of Cecil Rhodes who settled her debts but avoided a romantic entanglement, and Catherine later published a biography of Rhodes. A scandal surrounding an attempt to clear her son's debts in London led to her return to South Africa where she had a son out of wedlock with an associate of Rhodes, and was later iimprisoned for forging bills in Rhodes's name. During her time in jail she wrote a memoir, My Recollections (1904), and, finally divorced in 1906, she married again in 1909, settling once more in St Petersburg. Here she published two more books, Behind the Veil of the Russian Court (1913), again under her pen-name Paul Vasili, which drew on her intimate knowledge of court affairs, and a second autobiographical work. During WWI she moved to Stockholm, publishing a dozen books over a four-year span, and when later, on a visit to New York, she learned of her husband's death, she decided to remain in the US, spending the rest of her life in New York.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Years at the Russian Court The English daily papers described the Emperor and his family as having fled in their yacht, at a time when the yacht was deeply embedded in ice outside Kronstadt. I could multiply such stories ad lib., but merely wish to draw attention to the fact that so much that is written regarding Russia and the Imperial family is absolutely untrue, so little is really known about the Court life, that I am emboldened to offer my slight sketches of life in the Palaces. It would be very easy for me to pile on the agony, to represent the Emperor as a much ridden man; to picture plots and counter plots; to speak of hairbreadth escapes from death; of hidden bombs; of life made horrible by fears but no such things have occurred in my six years at the Russian Court, and I am a truthful person, and have not started forth to write fiction, but plain, unvarnished truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confessions of the Czarina The success of La Societe de Berlin in duced Madame Adam to publish other letters in the same style, devoted to other European capitals, with which, however, I had nothing to do, except those dealing with St. Peters burg life. The pseudonym Of Count Paul Vassili remained a kind of public property divided between the Nouvelle Revue and my poor self. Just before the war, when, indignant at the manner in which Nicholas II. Was com promising the work of his great father, I wrote the book Behind the Veil of the Russian Court, I bethought myself Of assuming once more the old pseudonym. I was living at the time in St. Petersburg, as Petrograd was still called, and my brothers were in the Russian military service. I did not wish them to get into trouble. As it happened, my identity was suspected, and unpleasantness followed; but it is no stigma to have been ostracized by the Russian police under the Old regime, so I did not mind or care.
