Description: This book is an attempt to portray "Russia-out-of-Russia"—the community of Russian exiles throughout the world: to enter its daily life; to share its thought; to show the tragedy of its poverty and the pathos of its home-sickness.
The author has no political thesis to urge and does not pretend to pronounce judgement upon the historical forces which have set up a Communist government in Russia and banished a large section of the former ruling class. Since his book is concerned only with the Russian émigrés, it naturally views the relationship of Russia-out-of-Russia to Soviet Russia through their eyes. He has endeavored to write objectively albeit with deep sympathy for a courageous and gifted people in misfortune.
