Description

Memoirs of the politician and publicist Vasily Shulgin about the tragic year of 1920 for the White movement—when they were retreating, evacuating from Crimea, and seeing the collapse of the hopes of anti-Bolshevik forces. An eyewitness and participant in these events, Shulgin, with bitter poignancy and artistic expressiveness, describes the agony of the White cause, the fates of its participants, and his own feelings against the backdrop of the exodus from Russia. It is at once a historical document and a piercing literary testimony of the era.
