The book by historian and translator Douglas Smith is comparable to legendary historical epics - both in the scale of the events described, and in the accuracy of detail and the heartbreaking drama of human destinies. The author managed in a small book to give a detailed picture of the tragedy of the Russian aristocracy after the collapse of the empire - the actual destruction of the entire class as a result of Soviet terror. The significance of the events described in the book goes far beyond the family history of famous aristocratic families. It is part of the terrible history of the twentieth century - the relationship between the state and the individual, when huge groups of people united by common origin, nationality or beliefs, were declared alien elements, unnecessary and unworthy of existence. "Former People" - a bestseller, published in many languages and now comes to the Russian-speaking reader.
