From Helen Rappaport, the New York Times bestselling author of The Romanov Sisters comes After the Romanovs, the story of the Russian aristocrats, artists, and intellectuals who sought freedom and refuge in the City of Light.Paris has always been a city of cultural excellence, fine wine and food, and the latest fashions. For years, Russian aristocrats had enjoyed all that Belle poque Paris had to offer, spending lavishly when they visited. But it has also been a place of refuge for those fleeing persecution, never more so than before and after the Russian Revolution and the fall of the Romanov dynasty.
But the brutality of the Bolshevik takeover forced Russians of all types to flee their homeland, sometimes leaving with only the clothes on their backs.Arriving in It was a place of artistic experimentation, such as Diaghilev's Ballets Russes.
