“… There were a lot of quirks in these apartments, named "Garconniere" intended for possible visits of the prince during periods when the princess was absent and the ceremonial apartments were closed. There was a whole maze here small rooms with a spiral staircase descending into the underground, which was supposed to serve as the Dining Room "- this is how the architect Andrei Beloborodov recalled interiors of the living quarters of young Felix Yusupov in the family palace.

Right here on a December night in 1916, there was a conspiracy to kill the "Siberian elder" Grigory Rasputin. The imperial family considered him their own "Friend", a healer, "a man of God", but many of his contemporaries as a villain, or the reason of all Russias troubles. The circumstances of the death of this extraordinary man remain unclear until now. Questioning the veracity narrations of Prince Yusupov - the owner of the house where the tragic events took place - historians, researchers and forensic scientists have been arguing about that fateful night for a century. The more attractive is the place where one of the most mysterious crimes of the beginning of the twentieth century took place.
