Князь Мещерский Воспоминания (первое полное издание всех 3 томов воспоминаний князя Мещерского).

Prince Vladimir Petrovich Meshchersky (1839-1914) publicist, prose writer, publisher and editor of Grazhdanin, grandson of Nikolai Karamzin, employer of Fyodor Dostoevsky, chamberlain of Alexander II, friend of Alexander III. He constantly subjected the state bureaucracy and high society to patriotic criticism, at the same time declaring war on revolutionary nihilism and liberalism. V.V. Rozanov considered him a bright talent: "how much subtlety and sharpness in language and thought"; this opinion was at odds with the position of most of his contemporaries: "an ultra-nobleman and guardian of a feudal lord", "an old jester, a notorious debaucher", "a street predator". Decide for yourself: you have in your hands the first complete posthumous edition of all three volumes of the memoirs of Prince Meshchersky.
