About
"The Russian Diaspora: 1917-1941 thoroughly examines the mass exodus from Russia after the revolutions and civil war of 1917-1921, providing scholars in Russian studies with an accessible overview of Russian history, literature, arts and the lives of many exiled Russian citizens. The book stresses the accomplishments of members of this major emigration after they left the Russian empire, and the loss suffered by Russia as a result of their departure. Each alphabetically arranged topic in the dictionary section is introduced and then discussed within its historical perspective, and the bibliography lists available Western-language and major Russian references."--BOOK JACKET.
