Arkady Alfredovich Borman (1891-1974), writer, journalist, lawyer. Son of writer and public figure A.V. Tyrkova-Williams (1869-1962), who stood at the origins of the Constitutional Democratic (Cadet) Party. In the spring of 1918, Borman, on a secret assignment from the counterintelligence of the Volunteer Army, entered the Soviet service in Moscow and soon, thanks to his personal qualities and old connections, was appointed to a responsible post in the People's Commissariat of Trade and Industry, introduced to the Soviet leadership, participated in meetings of the Council of People's Commissars, and was part of the Soviet delegation at the peace negotiations between the RSFSR and the Ukrainian State. In 1920, Borman emigrated and lived abroad until the end of his days. The compilers of this publication offer the reader the most complete version of A. Borman's memoirs, combining the most interesting pages from three editions of different years. The reader will see portraits of the leaders and political figures of the Soviet state - V.I. Lenin, I.V. Stalin, H.G. Rakovsky, K.B. Radek, A.A. Ioffe and others. The author skillfully depicts the life of the Russian emigration of the 1920s.
