==Biography==
Felix Yusupov was born in the Moika Palace in Saint Petersburg, capital of the Russian Empire. His father was Count Felix Felixovich Sumarokov-Elston, the son of Count Felix Nikolaievich Sumarokov-Elston. Zinaida Yusupova, his mother, being the last of the Yusupov line, was of Crimean Tatars origin and very wealthy.〔In order that the Yusupov name might not die out, his father (October 5, 1856, St Petersburg – June 10, 1928, Rome, Italy) was granted the title and the surname of his wife, Princess Zenaida Nikolaievna Yusupova (September 2, 1861, Saint Petersburg – November 24, 1939, Paris) upon their marriage, on April 4, 1882 in St Petersburg. In May 1915 there were serious anti-German riots in Moscow. As the governor-general of the city, he was fired for a lack of control. After the October Revolution, he moved to Kiev and left Russia in April 1919.〕 The Yusupov family, richer than any of the Romanovs, acquired their wealth generations earlier. It included four palaces in Petrograd (St. Petersburg), three palaces in Moscow, 37 estates in different parts of Russia (Kursk, Voronezh and Poltava), coal and iron-ore mines, plants and factories, flour mills and oil fields on the Caspian Sea.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yusupov Palace )〕
Felix led a flamboyant life. "At twelve he began wearing his mother's gowns. He describes in his (autobiography ) often spending time with Gypsy bands and adopting female clothing.〔King, Greg, ''The Man Who Killed Rasputin,'' Carol Publishing Group, 1995, p. 97.〕 His older brother took him often to restaurants and cafés".〔J.T. Fuhrmann (2013) ''The Untold Story'', p. 198.〕 Felix became one of the richest men in Russia after his older brother Nikolai Felixovich, Count Sumarokov-Elston (1883-June 22, 1908), having an affair with a married woman, was killed on Krestovsky Island in a duel by the jealous husband, Arvid Manteuffel, in the summer 1908.〔(Gretchen Haskin (2000) His Brother's Keeper. Atlantic Magazine; Lost Splendour, p. 111. )〕 From 1909 to 1913 he studied Fine Arts at University College, Oxford, where he was a member of the Bullingdon club,〔(NY Times )〕 established the Oxford University Russian Society. Yusupov was living on 14, King Edward Street, had a Russian cook, a French driver, an English valet, a housekeeper, and spent much time partying. He owned three horses, a macaw and a bulldog called Punch; smoked hashish,〔(NY Times )〕 played polo and became friendly with Luigi Franchetti, a piano player, Jacques de Beistequi, who both moved in.〔(Lost Splendor, chapter XV )〕 At some time Yusupov got acquainted with Albert Stopford and Oswald Rayner. He rented an apartment in Curzon Street, Mayfair, and met several times with the ballerina Anna Pavlova, who lived in Hampstead.
