The Romanovs

History

Collins

This is a colorful and insightful book...Sympathy and compassion flow from the human story de Villiers tells, not from a preconceived bias. It is impossible not to feel for the common folk he describes who have lost all hope, or for the Stalingrad veterans who declare bitterly that the cause for which they fought and others died has proved to be rotten to the core.

Rasputin is the story of an illiterate Siberian peasant who penetrated the very highest circles of the Romanov dynasty. A monk whose fame as a faith healer and visionary was eclipsed by scandalous orgies and notorious palace intrigue until his very name became a synonym for vice and corruption.

In 1987, 50 Western and 50 Soviet photographers spread out across the Soviet Union and captured on film a day in a country that stood at the apex of remarkable change as it celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Great October Revolution.  As the Soviet people looked back on decades of war and famine, conquest and achievement, and forward to sweeping changes during a time of new leadership and openness, the photographers were granted unprecedented access to homes, factories, schools and even prisons.  They traveled to all 15 Soviet republics and across 11 time zones.  They ventured into areas that have been closed to outsiders for centuries, and they came back with candid images of the daily life of the people behind the headlines, capturing a lost Soviet era, the twilight of a country.
