Russes blancs
Plevitskya made concert tours throughout Europe (and, in 1926, to the United States, where she was accompanied by the composer, Sergei Rachmaninoff), while her husband, General Skoblin, took a leading role in a White émigré organization, the "ROVS". It was there that Rachmaninoff heard her sing the song "You, My Cerise, My Rouge" ("Белилицы, румяницы вы мои"; "Belilitsy, rumyanitsy vy moyi"), which he used as the basis of the last of his "Three Russian Songs" for chorus and orchestra. However, neither career produced much income for Plevitskaya or Skoblin.
