Former People: How can life continue despite immense hardship and upheaval? In "Former People: The Final Days of the Russian Aristocracy," award-winning author and historian Douglas Smith examines the lives and stories of Russian aristocracy caught in the tumult of the Russian Revolution. Chronicling the fate of two great aristocratic families — the Sheremetevs and the Golitsyns — it reveals how even in the darkest depths of the terror, daily life went on. This presentation is part of the "Second Saturday" online lecture series presented by the Russian History Museum in Jordanville, NY.
