A TLS and Prospect Book of the Year. The scintillating story of the
Russian aristocrats, artists, and intellectuals who sought refuge
in Belle Epoque Paris. The fall of the Romanov dynasty in 1917
forced thousands of Russians to flee their homeland with only the
clothes on their backs. Many came to France's glittering capital,
Paris. Former princes drove taxicabs, while their wives found work
in the fashion houses. Some intellectuals, artists, poets,
philosophers, and writers eked out a living at menial jobs; a few
found success until the economic downturn of the 1930s hit. In
exile, White activists sought to overthrow the Bolshevik regime
from afar, and double agents plotted from both sides, to little
avail. Many Russians became trapped in a cycle of poverty and their
all-consuming homesickness. This is their story.
