This, of course, is Paris, France in the year 1900. This is what Paris looked like when I emigrated in 1923. This is the last place I settled for the rest of my days. Before settling here, I taught for two years in London, Milan, Buenos Aires and Berlin after I left St. Petersburg in 1921. I settled in Paris because of it's many opportunities for me to teach promising young students. Also, Paris had a very large white emigree community- Russian men, women and children like me that had either left or been exiled from Russia during the Russian Revolution.
