	First World War.com - Who's Who - Felix Yusupov
		Felix Yusupov (1886-1967) was the Russian nobleman who arranged the murder in 1916 of the Tsar and Tsarina's close adviser, the 'holy man' Grigory Rasputin.
		Born in 1886 Yusupov was connected to the royal family by virtue of his marriage to the Tsar's niece, Irina Romanov.
		As an attempt to salvage the credibility of the monarchy Yusupov's bold move came too late; if anything, the murder of Rasputin removed a buffer between the royal family and their critics: no longer could the nation's ills be attributed to the mad monk.

		Yusupov is a place where Rembrandts and Rubens hang (although many works found their way to the Hermitage Museum when the communists took control) and walls are covered with French tapestries and Venetian mirrors; it's a place of gold leaf and painted ceilings, of crystal chandeliers and tables inlaid with semi-precious stones.
