About the book: 2018 / The first book of a mysterious emigrant writer who lived in Italy and then in France under the name Boris Longobardi and published under the pseudonym H. E. Russian. The works, undoubtedly of an autobiographical nature, tell the story of pre-revolutionary Cossack life, the Civil War, pre-war life in the USSR, the German occupation and the “second wave” of emigration. Scattered across various periodicals, they are brought together under one cover for the first time.
