Product Description

1918. Everything that is written in this book the author had seen and heard himself, but such could not be written until he had reached the United States; and even in the States for some time, owing to a combination of inauspicious circumstances and political reasons he was unable to publish anything relating to the former Russian court and the causes which brought about the Russian Revolution. In consequence, Iliodor's revelations in their complete form have never before seen the light. Contents: Abbot of Tsaritzin; Rasputin, Unofficial Czar of Russian; My Struggle With Rasputin; All's Well That Ends Well. Illustrated.

ILIODOR4
I found this book really interesting for three essential reasons: the very unique neurosis and intensity of the Russian mind; the religous ways of 'Holy Rus'(together with the peasant/aristocratic divide); the relationship with Rasputin.
I would strongly recommend reading Rasputin: The Last Wordin conjunction with this book - I was delighted to find the Iliodor autobiography still available and would say that it helps a great deal amid the tangle of the Rasputin phenomenon.
