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.
