notes of sadness were very highly appreciated. Having survived three revolutions, two world wars, and finding herself in exile in the 1920s, she retained spontaneity, lightness and the ability to laugh at ordinary everyday situations in her “short prose”, and introduced a philosophical character into her memoirs.

Yesenin, V. Rozanov, G. Rasputin, A. Kollontai come to life and many others. She wanted to create the book “My Chronicle” from them, but she did not have time to assemble it herself.
