Child Emigrants: Living Voices of the First Wave of Russian Emigration, 1918–1924
9.99 €
About 100 years ago, the Revolution and the subsequent Civil War were a terrible ordeal for millions of Russians. Because of wars, famine, terror, and banditry, more than 2 million people left Russia and became emigrants. Tens of thousands of children - together with their loved ones or as orphans - were also thrown out of the country.
This book, first published in 1925 in Prague, is a stunning account of the tragic history of revolutionary Russia. It contains quotations selected from over two thousand essays by young emigrants on "What I Remember About Russia." Teenagers tell of the deaths of loved ones from wounds, disease and hunger, of the hardships of fleeing to foreign countries, of loneliness, fears and complete incomprehension of what they were deprived of the joy of life for. Living voices of compatriots allow us not only to see the history of the country through the fates of ordinary people, but also to think about the cost of political and social crises.
