Vladimir Nabokov and the Anatomy of Russian Exile | Dr. Nina Khrushcheva
Vladimir Nabokov is politically relevant again. In the last decade, the theme of immigration and dissent in Russia has become as important as it was half a century ago before the Soviet Iron Curtain fell in the late 1980s.
In her lecture, Nina Khrushcheva talks about Vladimir Nabokov’s enduring influence on Russian literature and politics.
In the extended Q&A session, Nina Khrushcheva addresses questions about "Lolita," Nabokov's literary legacy in modern Russia, and his wife, Véra.

Religious Wandering in Russia | Dr. Charles Arndt

Orthodox wandering (strannichestvo) is a unique phenomenon in Russian culture. Many writers of Russia’s Golden Age, such as Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, and Nikolai Nekrasov, incorporated wandering figures prominently in their work.

Absolutely incredible, her father was one of the best Grand Dukes Imperial Russia ever saw.
Brilliant! More like this please. Thank you Helen... I could have listened for hours.❤❤❤
While he can recount the chain of events fairly his analytic skills clearly sucks. He talks absurdly, desperatelly about how Russia has became Russia because of only influence of Western culture where Petr visited only once, maybe twice? The fact is they are related to their Asian neighbours who they interacted for whole of its existance therefore chaining them genetically, culturally and mentally much more than any other nations on the Earth which makes them stand out of all other of their Europian cousins. Thats it.
When we are again facing outrageous criminal accumulations of wealth, the last thing we need is propaganda for the wealthy.
Thank you! Vera and one brother managed to escape with their mother from the Bolscheviks, when the Nazi took over Germany, she and her brother went to E coast of America. I think their mother died in Germany.
48:35 was the policy of destruction of the "FP" deliberate ? USSR needed their skills , but a hostility .....new cadres replaced the FP...... easy scapegoat ; 50:50 persecution lasted until WW2 ...by 1940's few of the FP remain to be persecuted 52:33 fate of those who escaped to the West; 62:35 what about those who returned in 1990's ? generally they have drifted back to the West ...not remained permanently in RU

You should mention that the Russian nobility has continued to exist in exile since 1917-18. It has not disappeared or ceased to exist.Organizations bringing together members of the Russian nobility exist in France, the United States and elsewhere. There are several claimants to the Russian throne,. Recently two relatives of the imperial family were married in St. Peterberrg were married in a lavish ceremony attended by Russian nobles from around the world. Both have claims to the imperial throne. A large crowd of Russian nobles from around the world attended the ceremony. Vladimir Putin declined an invitation to attend, and appeared to be very nervous about the wedding, but he did not forbid it.
Interesting that it has only been translated in English recently. I read a Dutch translation (issued in six separate volumes) about 36 years ago. It is one of the best autobiographies and historical accounts I have read. I am certainly going to read the English translation as well.
This is why I say the Atlantic should have a tsunami warning system.

This channel is amazing!!
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoy our content
What a very interesting, informative and fascinating exposition of this silver masterpiece and thank goodness it survived the Bolsheviks’ destruction. Fabergé’s exquisite objects encompass such a wide range from ornamental tops on parasols, electrical table buttons, opera glasses etc., to this magnificent frame and it is a pleasure for once not to see him defined by his Easter eggs, which, though undoubtedly beautiful and his most famous objects, are by no means the majority of what he produced. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your comment! So glad you enjoyed the video. Here’s some more information on the frame: www.russianhistorymuseum.org/2021/07/15/grand-duke-konstantin-faberge-presentation-frame/
@ I shall read it with interest. Thank you so much!
How can she be a great granddaughter when they all died and didn't have kids? I think u mean niece
She was the great granddaughter of Nicholas I, not Nicholas II
I enjoy and appreciate your channel. I am devoted to remembrances and history of Imperial Russia. Thank you so very much.
Thank you very much! So glad you enjoy our content
My goodness, I wasn't expecting you to mention the pogroms. That is very laudable. I am descended from Jews who fled brutal pogroms committed by Russian cossacks, and its very nice to know that you are not sweeping that under the rug. Good work. I am very impressed. You have earned a new subscriber.
We appreciate you pointing that out - it’s important to tell the whole story.
Thanks. I did not listen to all her talk, but why did she call her brother "Ioan" instead of the usual "Ivan"? Was Ivan not formal enough? Also, when I heard Faberge I was expecting something like his eggs. This table was much less impressive. Finally, how come she became poor? didn't she have any of her money outsid RUssia, especially after the upheavals and the protests well before the actual Bolshevik Revolution? Does not mke any sense to me. THe Czar was supposed to be the richest person on the planet in the 19th century and possibly the early 20th.
Read history and educate yourself before you put on dumb comments
The Romanovs and other members of the nobility such as the Yusupovs lost a majority of their wealth during the revolution as they had to flee Russia or risked being killed. Vera calls her brother Ioann because that what his name. not Ivan.
Excellent
We are so glad you enjoyed it!
What the Bolsheviks did was a crime against humanity, not just the Russian people.
I hope. They feature this guy and this type of filmed video style more often. He’s great
Are there any novels a la Doctor Zhivago that are worth readi ng ?
You can start from early Nabokov. He writes a lot about emigration!
They replace the good tissue holy tradtion orthodox christian clothes with fake garbage that falls apart still going on today giving us that fake crap version of the shit OS isntaed of getting their folks on board to give them much beter and 15 years ahead ! WHat if htey start seeing and investing int heir potential like others do like that sh crap over there, wouldnt' have built some low crap that is not slavic or orhtodox like the new sky scraping crap, but much greater pfu amen !
At 18:10 you quote that it was the day that the Tsar and family were taken from Moscow to exile...Of course they were not in Moscow but rather imprisoned at Tsarskoe Selo since the abdication in March of that year.
I wonder if those Palaces are still around, and if so, what are they being used for... An update would be interesting to see the buildings and their use in today's time.
They are all museums with the exception of ostashevo estate which is now just a shell of a building

Спасибо Вам за вашу работу!❤
❤as usual, this is a profoundly well researched (and delivered) presentation. Spasibo.
Absolute nonsense. Russia is a colony of Bulgaria and it was always striving to be related to Bulgaria not to Eastern Rome
Russian Literature is a gem to the rest of our beloved world. So more and more books should be translated into English and other languages of the world today so that......
Most interesting. I was glad to hear in the end Nicholas 2nd recognition although sadly events unfolded. God bless all from Dublin, Ireland. Long live Russia.
Wonderful lecture, please consider doing more! Thank you
3:50 Those are sleeves?, not capes over a sleeve? I looks like a half cape under the mantel, over the gown sleeve, with a kirtle sleeve as the under sleeve.
No those are sleeves. Source: I’m Russian and my great- grand and grandparents had traditional outfits (and lots of peasants continued to wear Russian traditional clothing until the Bolshevik revolution really)
Thank you for the lecture! I cannot tell, though, if the lecturer realized that the 4 photographs shown at the beginning of the lecture were images of costumes created for a ball in 1913, and are actually stylized costumes, not real 17th century dress. They were inspired by the real dress, but they were not authentic. I gather she did, but it would be a good idea to mention
I also would have liked to have dates or at least estimated years for all photographs. Otherwise very interesting introduction to the history of dress in Russia.
The idea was to show the essence of the costumes from that time (17th century), which, in many ways, crystallized in the attire worn at the 1903 ball.
A disgraceful people who've always tried to enslave their neighbors and force their cultural backwardness on others.
Interesting and enjoyable! Thanks.
Great lection, thank you :)
typical western ignorance on display coupled with arrogant presumption to knowledge they don't have. too much generalized statements and she seems to think that fashion didn't change ( and changed again and again) throughout 200 year from 1700 to 1900. well documented in russia and referred to in russian literature and illustrations, etc. and she seems to be totally unaware of very widespread and influential slavophile movement which went in and out of court favor . and her knowledge of russian ballet seems to restricted to ballet russe , how hard was it for her do some work and explore at least the well documented histories of main russian ballet companies, and ballets , and how they staged slavophile oriented ballets ( and of course there were opera and historic drama too) with costumes to match, from latter half of 1800 well before ballet russe in early 1900s. and who consider scythians, "asian"? who btw existed well before christ, and are called european by herodotus in 500s bc ? and what does vague terms asian and european mean by her definition, even herodotus had a geography based definition? also she mindlessly parrot bs about alleged restricting corsets, that no one who has actually studied clothing now subscribe to. restricting corsets claims are a hollywood trope, nothing more.
😂🎉😢😮😅😊
Absolutely fascinating, l have enjoyed every second of this amazing presentation, most especially the Mauve Boudoir. Thank you ❤
We're so happy you liked it!!
How about the properties that were confiscated to the aristocrasy? Could any of them recover same of what they had before the revolution? I think there should be some sort of compensation for those families.
There is a biographical entry for "Paustovski" in Nadezhda Mandelstam's first vol. of her memoirs, Hope Against Hope (1970): "Novelist and playwright, his memoirs have been translated into English under the title 'Story of a Life.' His speech in defense of Dudintsev's novel 'Not by Bread Alone' (October 22, 1956) was a courageous indictment of bureaucracy and philistinism." (p. 411) In the main text of the Memoirs (p. 318) an anecdote concerning Paustovski is related.
