Ubiistvo Tsarskoi Sem'i (Murder of the Imperial Family)

description:

An examination of the murder of the imperial family by the general in charge of the White army's Ekaterinburg investigation. (Originally printed in two volumes in 1922.)

 
(Title in Russian: Убийство Царской Семьи)

unique features:

Written with the benefit of full access to both the Sokolov dossier and all other evidence (depositions, testimony, etc.) gathered during the White army inquiry.

 
For example: contains lists of possessions found at the Ipatiev House, as well as rostero f the men charged with guarding the imperial family both in Tobolsk and Ekaterinburg.

in my opinion:

Though marred by anti-Semitism, Diterikhs's book was one of the more thorough and insightful treatments of the imperial murder and captivity at the time of its publication.
