This edition publishes for the first time the manuscript of Fyodor Vasilyevich Chelnokov (1866–1925), a hereditary industrialist and honorary citizen of Moscow, written in exile in 1919–1925. “Balkan Notebooks,” the first part of the manuscript, describes the dramatic events of 1919: the Red Army’s invasion of Crimea leads to the so-called “Crimean evacuation” — a mass exodus of the population and troops of the White Army and the Entente. Together with his brother, Mikhail Vasilyevich Chelnokov, the former mayor of Moscow and leader of the Cadets, and a large group of well-known representatives of the nobility and bourgeoisie, the author leaves Russia on a British ship and ends up in Serbia, which had just won back its independence. As part of the Russian delegation, the Chelnokov brothers visit Bosnia and Herzegovina. The author returns to Yalta through Bulgaria, which was destroyed in the First World War, to soon leave his homeland forever, as the second part of the manuscript (“Berlin Notebooks”) tells us.
