berberova remained in paris for twenty - five years, and for most of that time she wrote short fiction, cultural criticism, and news articles for russian - language publications including poslednie novosti (the latest news) and later russkaya mysl’ (russian thought). she describes the russian community of these years, struggling to maintain itself even as stalinist russia conspired to destroy it, hating the soviet regime yet “entangled in a common web. ”
in 1968 he left for paris, where he lectured at the sorbonne until 1990. he contributed to russkaya mysl (russian thought) and also wrote many books on russia and the soviet union. these include l' utopie au pouvoir: histoire de l' u. r. s. s. de 1917 a nos jours (utopia in power: the history of the soviet union from 1917 to the present), which he co - wrote with aleksandr nekrich .
stamp album paints a picture of hitherto unknown' catacomb russia'. the communal apartment sergeev describes is not a typical community of soviet citizens... they neither fight the regime, nor adapt to it... sergeev' s memory seems to collect mere trifles: children' s ditties, counting rhymes, old slogans, newspaper clippings, snatches of conversations, official documents, urban folklore and much else. he fishes various fragments out of this detritus and files them carefully away in his stamp album .

mikhail' s early education was desultory, but, being an extraordinarily perceptive boy, by the age of six he spoke french and german fluently. he was taught to read and write russian by the serf painter pavel sokolov and a local clergyman, and became an avid reader, later citing the gospel, which he read at the age of eight, as a major influence. among his childhood friends was sergey yuriev, the son of a neighbouring landlord and later a prominent literary figure, editor and publisher of the magazines russkaya mysl and beseda. in 1834 his elder sister nadezhda graduated from the moscow ekaterininsky college, and mikhail' s education from then on was the prerogative of her friend avdotya vasilevskaya, a graduate of the same institute who had been invited to the house as a governess. mikhail' s other tutors included the local clergyman ivan vasilievich who taught the boy latin and the student matvey salmin .
i read with interest the three part series “conversations on the succession” (беседы о престолонаследии) which was so carefully compiled by your journalist oksana karnovich. karnovich has done something useful by gathering all of the ill - conceived arguments against the legitimist succession to the throne of russia in one place. unfortunately, by presenting them through the mouths of men who bear some of the most famous names in russian history, russkaya mysl’ has lent these arguments a certain degree of authority. these men are truly noble, well - educated, and well - intentioned, but i am afraid not one of them is an authority on the russian laws of succession or international dynastic law, and, mercifully, they do not represent themselves as such. they simply repeat the same stories that they heard as children from their parents and grandparents, later erroneously confirmed by nicholas romanov and other non - dynastic members of the extended romanov family, and now present them as fact .
in 1900 the library had 3987 books and in 1910 – 4663. the library subscribed to such magazines as ”istoricheskiy vestnik”, “russkoye bogatstvo”, “russkaya mysl”, “vestnik evropy”. they also bought books in bookshops. the richest collections were those of russian and foreign fiction. the most popular foreign authors were mayne reid, jules verne, fenimore cooper, the russian ones were ivan turgenev, aleksey pisemskiy, pavel pecherskiy, nikolay gogol. the library had neither books and newspapers in the chuvash language nor materials about chuvashia. the library did not subscribe even to the first chuvash newspaper “hypar” which had been published since january, 1906. in 1917 there were 162 readers in the library, but it did not acquire any new books. the library was visited by young workers, pupils of technical colleges and employees. in this period 4 librarians worked in the library. the library was situated in a beautiful private building in karl marx street, the first reading room appeared .

law and familial order in the romanov dynasty
by russell e. martin
i was also privileged to have nicholas romanovich romanov kindly explain to me his highly original interpretation of the laws of succession and the dynastic law of the house of romanov - - but that does not mean any of his version reflected legal truth. it was the unique opinion of his branch, which had actively campaigned against legitimism since the revolution .
the arguments presented in the three conversations cover all the most famous distortions perpetuated by the émigrés in exile. as karnovich rightly noted, the opinions of these few members of the émigré aristocracy are hardly universal - - even within the emigration. there are many other russians who fully support the claims of maria vladimirovna and her son george, but the vast majority simply do not care at all, which is to their discredit .
the tendency of members of the émigré aristocracy to feel that with the abdication of nicholas ii and the subsequent deferral of power by grand duke michael alexandrovich, the laws of succession and the dynastic laws of the house of romanov were somehow magically suspended is a unique and false view made popular only in the last two generations. in no other country that has lost its monarchy has this ever been the case, and no provision for this was ever enshrined in the fundamental laws of the russian empire .
the formerly regnant houses of austria, france, prussia, italy, portugal, romania, bulgaria, serbia, and greece (to name a few) continue to apply their dynastic laws within their own houses, and those dynastic laws have been rigorously observed by their members. simply because non - dynastic descendants of the russian imperial house and émigré aristocrats have decided collectively to ignore dynastic law because they do not like it does not mean that it no longer exists .
the arguments against grand duchess maria vladimirovna are myriad, changeable, complex, political, and frequently hostile - - but the facts that support her claim are very simple, as the truth always is .
the headship of the house of romanov and the attendant right to the throne is determined not by opinion, but by the law of succession itself. the law clearly states that the throne passes by right of primogeniture to the senior most dynastic male until the extinction of all male dynasts, after which it passes to the senior most dynastic female in relation to the last dynastic head .
vladimir kirillovich was the last universally acknowledged dynastic head, and in 1969, at the moment when it became apparent to him that none of the other then - living dynastic males would produce a dynastically valid heir in accordance with the laws of succession, he proclaimed his daughter would ultimately succeed him. this angered some of the remaining male dynasts and created the existing family rift .
after vladimir kirillovich’s death in 1992, his decision regarding the succession was accepted by all major monarchist groups including the international monarchist league and the russian imperial union - order. maria vladimirovna’s dynastic right to award the russian honours is accepted by burke’s world orders of knighthood and merit as well as the international commission of orders of chivalry. the patriarch of the russian orthodox church, as well as the head of the russian orthodox church abroad acknowledge maria vladimirovna as the head of the imperial house, and her son as her heir. grand duke vladimir kirillovich was buried in the peter and paul fortress. his august father and mother were reburied there. his wife was buried there as a grand duchess. for monarchists, for other royal families related to the russian imperial house, and in russia itself, these arguments are long over .
all of this seems to bother the remaining non - dynastic descendants of the romanov family, all of whom are now closely related to the highest ranking families of the exiled aristocracy – the orlovs, cheremeteffs, golenishchev - kutuzovs, galitzines, woronzow - dashkows and others are all cousins through the marriages not in conformity with the laws of the house contracted in emigration. it is no wonder the aristocracy supports anti - legitimist arguments and contributes to the division within in the romanov family we all see today—they see themselves as having “married in” to the imperial family, when in fact, their romanov relatives actually “married out”. through these marriages, the romanov family has been pulled back into the medieval morass of aristocratic clan rivalries that tore russia apart in the 15th and 16th centuries, and which the fundamental laws were, in fact, designed to eliminate .
the new arguments you covered were designed to discredit vladimir kirillovich himself - - the legitimacy of his own dynastic status, the legitimacy of his marriage, the dynastic status of his wife and of his daughter. the assertion that grand duke george is a hohenzollern and cannot be heir has appeared (it is true that george mikhailovich is also a hohenzollern - - but was not peter iii a schleswig - holstein ?). now the “kirillovsky document” is quoted out of context, and its terms brandished by those untrained in imperial law to discuss them. the émigré aristocrats defy their own church and announce condescendingly that the patriarch was “misinformed” and that everyone on earth is mistaken but they, because they are the self - appointed curators of these “truths“ trapped in amber .
there is a plurality of opinion on the succession, but there is only one hard fact: while some of the morganatic descendants of the romanoff family and some members of the russian aristocracy seem united only in their efforts to discredit maria vladimirovna, in the past 25 years, she and her son have made over 75 visits to russia, formed functioning organizations and charities both there and in europe, supported the efforts of the orthodox church, worked hard to maintain the honours and functions of the imperial house, travelled extensively throughout russia and its former territories, and have worked with and worshipped beside russians who continue to look to the imperial house for inspiration and support .
i hope that one day, perhaps in the next generation, everyone will be able to put generations old half truths, speculations, and insults aside - - and realize through working together that helping russia is the only thing that matters. it is the only thing that has ever mattered to any of us .

question: the european union will undergo another enlargement next year. what impact do you think past and future eu enlargements have had and will have on relations between the eu and russia? what is your vision of the problems in interaction between the eu and russia, and what do you expect from the upcoming summit ?
answer: european union enlargement inevitably has an impact on our relations. the main thing is to avoid problems and find constructive solutions to any problems that do arise. this is the approach to which we are committed .
regarding bulgaria and romania, we hope that their entry into the eu will not damage the ties that we have built up over many years with these countries, both of which are among our traditional economic partners .
as for the results of the enlargement in 2004, which saw the eu take in 10 new member states, i remind you that at that time the joint declaration on eu enlargement and russia - eu relations was drafted and adopted. in particular, it set out each side’s commitments in a number of areas such as trade and economic cooperation, transit to and from kaliningrad region and the rights of ethnic minorities .
most of the economic issues have already been settled. over these last two - and - a - half years we have put in place passenger and freight transit schemes for kaliningrad region that have made it possible to organise the transport flows to and from this region in general. there are just a few details that remain to be fine - tuned. we hope that the upcoming entry of poland and lithuania into the schengen zone will not restrict freedom of movement for the people of kaliningrad region and that the current transit scheme will continue to operate effectively .
i must note, however, that russia is seriously concerned about the lack of real progress in the situation for the russian - speaking population in latvia and estonia. these countries are now eu member states and this makes the problem of the ‘non - citizens’ in these countries an issue for the entire european union. this is an issue of the rights and freedoms of a considerable number of people living on eu territory. we plan to raise the question of fulfilling the relevant commitments of the joint declaration at the upcoming summit in helsinki .
i want to stress what i think is an important point, and that is that relations between russia and the eu are not just about certain economic sectors or about certain political issues such the ‘frozen’ conflicts in the post - soviet area. our cooperation is far broader and concerns almost every area of our peoples’ lives. we need to focus on new positive goals and constantly open up new avenues of cooperation for all europeans, create new opportunities for their joint business and humanitarian initiatives and projects .
we have agreed to begin talks on drafting a new document to replace the 1997 russia - eu partnership and cooperation agreement that is in many ways outdated now. the european commission has requested a mandate to hold talks with russia on the content and scope of the future agreement, and we expect the commission to receive this mandate very soon .
it is my conviction that we need to talk about creating the legal foundation for long - term strategic partnership and cooperation. at the upcoming summit in helsinki we will discuss a range of issues related to creating precisely this kind of legal foundation for our relations. overall, we are committed to a businesslike and constructive dialogue on all areas of relations between russia and the eu .
question: immigration has become a pressing issue not just for western countries over recent years, but for russia too. how open will the russian labour market be to foreign workers, and what is the impact of the brain drain from russia to other countries ?
answer: i agree with you that developing an effective immigration policy is equally important today for russia and for the other countries of europe, and i note the common approach that our countries share to resolving the problems that arise in this area .
our goal is to radically improve our legislation in this area in order to bring immigration into the open and make it legal. we are focusing particularly on integrating foreign workers into russian society based on the principles of respect for the laws and respect for our cultural, historical and religious traditions and customs .
various estimates put the number of foreign workers in russia at between 10 million and 15 million people, but only 500, 000 of them are working legally. this is the root cause of many problems, including poor working conditions and low pay for immigrants working illegally, violations of their rights, and criminalisation of unlawful employment .
a number of legislative initiatives have already been passed which, on the one hand, make it easier for foreign workers to register, and on the other hand, toughen the penalties for breaking the immigration rules and unlawfully using foreign labour. we also intend to encourage immigration to the parts of the country and the economic sectors that are important for russia’s development and that face labour shortages .
as for the problem of the brain drain from russia, this is something affecting many european countries. this is the reality of today’s global economy and global scientific community. with regard to russia in particular, the brain drain was also provoked by the economic instability of the 1990s .
in an open and democratic society, factors such as high living standards, stability, security, and opportunities for professional and creative self - realisation all have an impact on the choice of where to work. in this respect, the situation in russia has undergone great change .
russia’s fast - growing economy, its high - technology sectors and companies are all becoming more attractive in terms of the opportunities they offer for good high - paid work. we have been working hard to ensure decent conditions for research activity in russia. wages in the academy have risen and we are focusing especially on raising the wages of young scientists. we are implementing programmes to create technology incubation zones, technology parks and develop an innovative environment. i note that many professionals and academics who left the country are now considering returning to russia. i am certain that as the country continues to grow and become stronger, there will be more and more reason for them to decide to come back home .
question: the second world congress of russians abroad was held in st petersburg in october this year. what are the priorities for the government programme for work with russians abroad? what influence do you think russian - language publications abroad can have on forming the image of russia abroad and helping to unite the russian diaspora ?
answer: i would first like to say a few words about the scale of the issue. the russian diaspora comes to around 30 million people, with 10 million of them living in europe alone. this is one of the biggest diasporas in the world. there are countries where russians account for more than 20 percent of the population .
it is only natural that we feel concern for the fate of people with whom we are bound by uninterrupted cultural, historical and spiritual ties .
what is important to us is that our compatriots abroad have the possibility of preserving their ethnic and cultural identity, be able to protect their lawful rights and interests and, if they wish, return to their homeland .
the main elements of our support for russians living abroad are legal protection, organisation of holidays for children, medical assistance for veterans, supplying teaching materials, providing support to russian - language theatres and training for teachers .
we have a federal programme, russian language, aimed at strengthening the position of the russian language abroad. as for those of our compatriots who wish to resettle in russia, the state helps them to move here and settle in, including by helping them to go through the necessary legal formalities, obtain employment, and receive pension and education entitlements .
twelve russian regions are looking to take in compatriots abroad wishing to resettle in russia, and they have already presented their proposals on employment and social support to the government. the first stage of implementing the programme to assist voluntary resettlement will begin in 2007. a total of 4. 6 billion roubles has already been allocated in the federal budget for this purpose .
the main objective of another document, the 2006–2008 programme for work with russians abroad, is to help consolidate the different organisations set up by russians abroad so that they will be better able to defend their lawful rights and interests, including their ethnic and cultural, economic and political interests. i think that the organisation of global and regional conferences and the creation of a special print publication and corresponding internet portal for russians abroad will help to unite the diaspora. what is particularly important is that we are also supporting regional and country - based publications for the russian communities abroad .
in europe alone there is already a whole range of media aimed at a russian - speaking audience. we can now speak of the formation of a russian - language media space in europe. these are newspapers and magazines living according to the laws of the european information market, and therefore a part of the european continent’s common information space. we must not forget russian television, too, which offers european viewers the international versions of its programmes: channel one, rossia, ntv, and russia today .
many europeans, especially young people, study russian and read the russian - language press. the diverse and accurate information about the country and the not always straightforward processes underway here that they receive helps to create an image of the real russia and break down old stereotypes. as i said in my address to the world congress of russians abroad in st petersburg, maintaining the russian - language space is one of the priorities for our work with our compatriots abroad, with those for whom russia has always been and will always remain a centre of attraction for their diverse interests. europe’s russian - language press can make a useful contribution to uniting this ‘russian world’ – a world of science and learning, a world rich in history and traditions .
question: there are those who say that russia is taking a new road to development, a road that differs from that of either the west or the asian countries. do you agree with the assertion that russia is following its own road, and what is your vision of this road ?
answer: let me begin by saying that in today’s interdependent world, it is really only by convention that we still speak of a ‘western’ or ‘asian’ development path .
russia is building its statehood on the foundation of democratic values and freedoms and is working consistently to strengthen the institutions of its civil society. the goals of our policies are to make market relations more efficient, to develop opportunities for our citizens to realise their business and creative initiatives, and to provide better social guarantees for our people. we are perfectly happy to draw on the positive experience of our partners in europe and in other parts of the world. at the same time, we strive to make the fullest use of our own truly inexhaustible potential, our unique culture and the traditions and historical experience of our peoples .
russia, like any other country, is unique. only we can travel our road, and it is up to us to make it a success .
the national library of the chuvash republic has a rich history. it was established on january 24th, 1871. the library subscribed to 8 magazines and a few books. then, the library collections were replenished with about 80 books, including a 13 - volume plyushar’s encyclopedic dictionary, a 14 - volume russian encyclopedic lexicon and a significant amount of fiction, which were in great demand. the library’s credibility grew, and it became a public library in 1892. in this connection the library received a small grant from the town council that allowed a permanent paid librarian .
the year 1938 was very important in the library’s history. on march 1st, 1938, the city library has been transformed into the library of the chuvash republic and was named after maxim gorki. the first librarians in the cheboksary public library were the teacher k. mikhailov, the doctors e. vishnevski, e. astronomov, e. gerasimov and w. nikolaev. at the beginning of the year 1946 the library’s collections contained 93 thousand books. 22 employees worked in the library. the same year the library moved into a building in k. ivanov street .

( b. 8 august 1901 in saint petersburg, russia; d. 26 september 1993 in philadelphia, pennsylvania), russian émigré writer whose autobiography, the italics are mine (1969), chronicled nearly a century of intellectual life in tsarist russia, the early soviet union, and exile in paris .
berberova was the only child of nikolai ivanovich berberov, an armenian civil servant in russia’s ministry of finance whose family had acquired land and moved into the gentry class under catherine the great, and natalia ivanovna karaulova. berberova’s maternal great - grandfather, karaulov, a landowner in the province of tver, was the model for ivan goncharov’s fictional hero oblomov— the prototypical “superfluous man” of the nineteenth century, a recurrent literary type in many russian novels including aleksandr pushkin’s eugene onegin and mikhail lermontov’s hero of our time .
berberova had a privileged childhood in tsarist russia that came to an end with world war i. she briefly enrolled in the department of philology at rostov university, but the bolshevik revolution interrupted her education. she was one of the last of her class to attend a university in russia. returning to saint petersburg, now called petrograd, she joined the poets’ guild and became part of the vibrant but increasingly imperiled literary life of that city. in 1922 she and the symbolist poet vladislav khodasevich (1886 - 1939), with whom she had fallen in love, left russia together and traveled throughout europe. they spent part of the time as members of maksim gorky’s peripatetic household, before gorky returned to russia. about gorky she observed, perhaps harshly, “it was always more important for him to be heard than to speak out. ”
in 1925 berberova and khodasevich finally settled into the russian intellectual community in paris, which she called a “unique generation of deprived, broken, silenced, stripped, homeless, destitute, disenfranchised and therefore half - educated poets. ” among the writers she describes in her autobiography are andrey bely, vladimir nabokov, ivan bunin (winner of the 1933 nobel prize for literature), marina tsvetayeva, and boris pasternak, and scores of others. she singles out nabokov as a genius who was “able to bring in a renewal of style. ”
in 1932 berberova left khodasevich, although she remained on good terms with him and olga, the woman he subsequently married. in 1937 she married nikolai makeyev, a russian émigré painter, and moved to longchene, a rural suburb of paris, where they lived in extreme poverty throughout world war ii. they divorced nine years later in 1946, and in 1950, berberova emigrated once again, this time to the united states, where in 1954 she married the musician george kochevitsky in order to become a u. s. citizen. they divorced in 1983 .
during her early years in the united states, berberova edited books for the chekhov publishing house in new york city and served on the editorial board of the russian literary journal mosty (bridges). she began a new career in 1958 when she joined the slavic department at yale university, in new haven, connecticut. in 1963 she moved to princeton university, in new jersey, where she taught russian literature until she retired in 1971, following which she continued to teach and lecture at various institutions in the united states, including cornell, columbia, bryn mawr college, middlebury college, and the university of pennsylvania. she received honorary doctorates from middlebury and yale .
when berberova was in her eighties, she enjoyed unexpected good fortune. in 1985 the french publishing house actes sud began issuing her fiction in french translation. her books sold so well that she remained on the french best - seller lists for nearly a decade, which brought her financial independence and great personal satisfaction. her fiction in french translation attracted the notice of jacqueline kennedy onassis, who brought berberova to the attention of american publishers and readers. actes sud translated and published her fiction in more than twenty - two languages, including english .
in 1989 she paid a visit to her homeland, sixty - seven years after leaving, courtesy of an invitation from the union of writers. two years later she watched the collapse of the soviet union. she had outlived the revolution. berberova died in a nursing home in philadelphia of complications from a fall at the age of ninety - two .
most of berberova’s fiction was written during her years in paris, and her disaffected heroines reflect berberova’s life on the edge of desperation, lonely yet claustrophobically confined to a narrow existence. the bookof happiness (1999; originally published in russian as kniga schast ’e) is her most autobiographical novel. the protagonist, vera, grows up in a comfortable household in tsarist saint petersburg but after the revolution marries an invalid and emigrates to paris, where she leads a life of drudgery. only at the end of the novel is there a glimpse of redemption, when she falls in love for the first time: “she felt like saying that despite the fact that it was going to be an uphill road, the round - the - world journey was over. ”
the french director claude miller adapted berberova’s 1934 novella the accompanist for his film, l’accompagnatrice (1992), about an impoverished young pianist hired to accompany a beautiful but selfish opera singer; the accompanist becomes so obsessed with her employer’s life that she ruins her own. the film was a commercial success in france and in the united states .
in addition to her autobiography and fiction, berberova wrote a biography of tchaikovsky, in which she openly discusses his homosexuality, and a life of aleksandr blok, the finest symbolist poet of russia’s “silver age. ” berberova was an important part of the modernist movement in twentieth - century russian literature, and because of her personal descriptions of so many russian writers, she provides an invaluable record of an entire era .
berberova’s papers are in the beinecke rare book and manuscript library at yale university and in the boris i. nicolaevsky collection in the hoover institution of war, revolution, and peace at stanford university. the beinecke collection contains correspondence, manuscripts, photographs, personal papers, and memorabilia chiefly from the years 1950 to 1993. the papers are written in russian, english, french, and german. the bulk of her early papers (1922–1950) are at the hoover institution. berberova’s autobiography, the italics are mine (1969; originally published in russian as kursiv moi: autobiografiid), is the best source of her life. berberova’s english translator, marian schwartz, has written an eloquent introduction to the ladies from st. petersburg, (1995; originally published in russian as baryni), and ken kalfus reviewed it for the new york times book (review (1 nov. 1998). claire messud reviewed cape of storms (1999; originally published in russian as mys bur) for the new york times book review (9 jan. 2000). an obituary is in the new york times (29 sept. 1993) .
