L'énigme Anastasia
"...Elle avait gardé cette joie de vivre qui faisait son charme, elle fut le rayon de soleil de notre exil...""...très hautaine, se refuse à faire connaître son nom, son origine, son âge, sa profession".
Entre ces deux descriptions, celle de la grande duchesse Anastasia peu avant la tragédie d'Ekaterinenbourg et celle d'une inconnue repêchée un soir de février 1920 dans un canal de Berlin, se situe l'un des plus troublants mystères de notre époque : Anastasia a-t-elle été sauvée du massacre où périt sa famille ? L'inconnue de Berlin (aujourd'hui frau Anderson) est-elle la fille du dernier Tzar ? L'énigme a inspiré auteurs de théâtre, journalistes et cinéastes. Plusieurs procès ont eu lieu, un volumineux dossier a été constitué. Ce sont les pièces principales de ce dossier qu'Alain Decaux présente ici au lecteur, comme le "rapport d'enquête" d'un juge d'instruction soucieux de mettre en lumière tous les aspects de L'affaire la plus mystérieuse du XXe siècle.

Étonnée de l’avoir apprécié mais enquête très intéressante sur l’inconnue qui croyait être Anastasia
