Married to a niece of Czar Nicholas II, he could observe at close range the rampant corruption and intrigues of the imperial court, which culminated in the rise to power of the sinister monk Rasputin. Impelled by patriotism and love for the Romanoffs he killed Rasputin in 1916. Yousoupoff and his wife, Irina, settled in Pairs in 1919 and founded the fashion house Irfé.
