24 pages. 21 cm. Reprint of the 1924 Prague edition. A very good copy with only light foxing to the covers. This facsimile reprint revives a profoundly moving and rare émigré document-first compiled in interwar Czechoslovakia-gathering the testimonies of 500 Russian children, many of whom fled their homeland with their families in the aftermath of the Russian Civil War. Originally assembled under the direction of A. P. Petrov, director of the Russian Gymnasium in Moravská T?ebová, the collection preserves the unembellished voices of young refugees, reflecting their experiences of war, displacement, and exile. The accounts, shaped as classroom compositions during the 1917-1920s, represent a unique pedagogical and historical project: simultaneously a curriculum assignment and a documentary archive of childhood memory in times of trauma.
