The dramatic events of the twentieth century have often led to the
mass migration of intellectuals, professionals, writers, and
artists. One of the first of these migrations occurred in the
aftermath of the Russian Revolution, when more than a million
Russians were forced into exile. With this book, Marc Raeff, one of
the world's leading historians of Russia, offers the first
comprehensive cultural history of the "Great Russian Emigration."
He examines the social and institutional structure of the
emigration and describes its rich cultural and intellectual life.
He points out that what distinguishes this emigration from other
such episodes in European history is the extent to which the
emigres succeeded in reconstituting and preserving their cultural
creativity in the West. The flourishing Russian communities of
Paris, Berlin, Prague and Kharbin not only enriched Russian arts
and letters, but also significantly influenced the culture of their
Western hosts, and Raeff concludes with an assessment of their
impact on the development of modern Western and Soviet culture.
