Description
The most fascinating memories of a man with an extraordinary destiny. Just listing the key events of Nikolai Reden’s youth and early adulthood is already impressive: the beginning of the Great War and his “escape” from high school to the front, the February Revolution, Petrograd in 1917, the Bolshevik coup, participation in a secret officers’ organization, arrest and escape, an illegal crossing into Finland, arrival in Estonia, fighting and a march on Petrograd as part of the Northwestern Army. Nikolai Reden stayed with the army during its internment in Estonia. With a group of young naval officers aboard a stolen ship, the “Whale-Killer” (“Kitoboy”), he made the crossing from Estonia to Copenhagen, where he was invited to meet the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna. Then he emigrated to the United States, where a new—American—stage of his life began.
