Behind the Veil at the Russian Court

First published in 1913, “Behind the Veil at the Russian Court” is a book by Princess Catherine Radziwill, a Polish-Russian aristocrat.

Catherine Radziwill was a prominent figure at the Imperial courts in Germany and Russia, but became involved in a series of scandals. She combined her love for the luxury of the courts, social life, gossip and intrigue with her literary talent and she wrote two dozen books on European royalty and the Russian court, including “Behind the Veil at the Russian Court.”
