414 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 21 cm In 1922, Vladimir Lenin personally drew up a list of some 160 "undesirable" intellectuals- mostly philosophers, academics, scientists, and journalists- to be deported from the new Soviet state. "We're going to cleanse Russia once and for all," he wrote to Stalin, whose job it was to oversee the deportation. Two ships sailed from Petrograd that autumn, taking Old Russia's eminent men and their families away to what would become permanent exile in Berlin, Prague, and Paris. Through journals, letters, memoirs, and personal accounts, Lesley Chamberlain creates a rich portrait of these banished thinkers and their families. She describes the world they left behind, the émigré communities they were forced to join, and the enduring power of the works they produced in exile -- Provided by publisher The night before The Paper Civil War The Janus year Arrest and interrogation Journey into exile Joining the emigration Prague Berlin Paris Ending up The sense of what happened Appendix 1: GPU report on the arrests of 16/17 August 1922 Appendix 2: The lists of deportees from Moscow and Petrograd Appendix 3: The lives Lesley Chamberlain.
