The book of the historian and translator Douglas Smith is comparable to the legendary historical epics - both in terms of the scale of the described events, and in terms of accuracy of details and in the heartbreaking drama of human destinies. The author managed to give a detailed picture of the tragedy of the Russian aristocracy in a small in volume book after the collapse of the empire - the actual destruction of the whole class as a result of Soviet terror. The meaning of the events described in the book goes far beyond the family history of famous aristocratic surnames. This is part of the terrible history of the twentieth century - relations of the state and man, when huge groups of people united by common origin, nationality or beliefs were declared alien elements, unnecessary and unworthy of existence. "Former people" is a bestseller who has published in many languages and now came to the Russian -speaking reader
