Abstract | Preserving the childhood memories of some of the last generation of White Russian women to experience the Revolution firsthand, this collection of interviews and photographs provides a unique and moving record of life in Imperial and Bolshevik Russia. The accounts give a personal insight into how the Revolution devastated the lives of the aristocracy, the intelligentsia and the foreigners of Moscow and St. Petersburg in the few weeks after the October 1917 upheaval. These people, previously amongst the wealthiest in Russia, were reduced to a life of poverty, persecution and exile. |
