Октябрь 1993: как случился расстрел Белого дома? / Редакция

Today, we’re presenting the third episode of our mini-series about the heroes and anti-heroes of the White emigration. It focuses on France and Paris, the latter of which became the capital of “outer Russia” in the 1920s. How did Russian emigrants earn money and entertain themselves in Paris? How did Hitler’s attack on the USSR divide the emigrants and what happened to them in 1946, when Stalin promised to pardon all White emigrant returnees? What does the life of their Russian-French descendants look like now? The final episode of the docu-series is already up on the channel!
