Cui's more successful stage works during his lifetime were the one-act comic opera The Mandarin's Son (publicly premiered in 1878), the three-act Prisoner of the Caucasus (1883), based on Pushkin, and the one-act Mademoiselle Fifi (1903), based on Guy de Maupassant.
Cui died on March 13, 1918 from cerebral apoplexy and was buried next to his wife Mal'vina (who had died in 1899) at the Lutheran Cemetery in Smolensk.
Cui's works are not so nationalistic as those of the other members of The Mighty Handful; with the exception of Pushkin, his operas do not display a strong attraction to Russian sources.
Cui bono ("Good for whom?", or "Who benefits?") is a Latin adage which means that the person or people guilty of committing a crime may be found amongst those who have something to gain, perhaps financially.
Although the principle is useful in criminal investigations, the party with the most to gain may not always be obvious, or the guilty party may distract attention by diverting attention on to a scapegoat.
Cui bono can be applied only in cases where some act was planned with the intention of obtaining a benefit.
