Easy to read with a wealth of info and personal anecdotes you wont find in conventional histories of this time and place. As a student of Russian history and culture, this book has been an invaluable source for me. I highly recommend it. Review: First hand account of the life of the Czar's family before and during the Bolshevik Revolution - The author writes very precisely about day to day life as tutor to the Czar's son. He is very observant to details and inadvertantly reveals his own opinions and prejudices as he writes. Unfortunately, the last days of the family are a second hand account as he was separated from them before their last move. This tragic story is well known, but he provides a different perspective on the lives of the participants. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,008,395 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #583 in Russian History (Books) #699 in Historical Russia Biographies #1,151 in Royalty Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 355 Reviews | ## Images ![Thirteen Years at the Russian Court: A Personal Record of the Last Years and Death of the Tsar Nicholas II, and His Family - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51kr7O7XgkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great eyewitness account to history *by D***U on January 26, 2024* This book is an important account of the final years of the Imperial Russian court, written by the French tutor who was employed to the court to teach the children of the Czar.

I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ First hand account of the life of the Czar's family before and during the Bolshevik Revolution *by K***R on October 15, 2020* The author writes very precisely about day to day life as tutor to the Czar's son. He is very observant to details and inadvertantly reveals his own opinions and prejudices as he writes. Unfortunately, the last days of the family are a second hand account as he was separated from them before their last move. This tragic story is well known, but he provides a different perspective on the lives of the participants. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Emotional Read *by E***A on April 23, 2017* Colonel Acoutin, one of the Czar's guards, was a close friend. He fought on the White Russian side but managed to escape. He often recounted the story of the Revolution, at my request. I met his brother who had been imprisoned in Siberia, with a knife wound on his neck to prove it. Later I met briefly Prince Serge Obolensky in New York. Unfortunately, I didn't know who he was at the time. Colonel used to be amazed that the book "Nicholas and Alexandra" had been published. Russia was then the USSR. He couldn't fathom how the author got his hands on the material. He said that no one knew about Alexis' hemophilia. So no one understood the Czarina's attachment to Rasputin. So this book was very personal to me. I loved that it came from someone who was close to the family -- not an historian. He did a huge service by getting the forensic information out of the country. It's a wonderful book from the Romanoff perspective. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/52900038-thirteen-years-at-the-russian-court-a-personal-record-last](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/52900038-thirteen-years-at-the-russian-court-a-personal-record-last) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
