Oldenburg was one of the leading authors in the right-wing emigre press including the magazine Russkaya Mysl (Russian Thought), Vozrozhdenie (Renaissance), Rossiya (Russia), Rossiya I Slavianstvo (Russia and Slavdom) newspapers. In the mid 1920s, the Supreme Monarchical Council requested that Professor S. S. Oldenburg, who lived in Paris, write a historical study on the period of reign of Emperor Nicholas II.

That work resulted in Sergey Sergeyevich Oldenburg writing the most objective study about the life and the ruling of Nicholas II, who bore the burden of the last decisions in the Russian Empire . Being a member of the White movement and among the first wave of Russian èmigrès, S. S. Oldenburg knew firsthand about the historical upheavals that Russia experienced in the reign of Nicholas II and about the consequences of his abdication. In his work the author used unique materials, including duplicates of historical acts stored in the Russian Embassy in Paris. Fragile and faded paper, tears, torn off cover corners.
