Yussupov wrote in his 1928 memoir, Lost Splendour and the Death of Rasputin, "This devil who was dying of poison, who had a bullet in his heart, must have been raised from the dead by the powers of evil. There was something appalling and monstrous in his diabolical refusal to die."
After the assassination of Rasputin, the prince reinvented himself as a patriot. He believed that Rasputin's death would lead the Czar to heed the advice of other nobility and save the monarchy, however, no major effects were seen on Nicholas II's policies.
