Elisavietta herself
Oh, and i...Thank you, Lizzie!<br /><br />Elisavietta herself<br /><br />Oh, and if you can, change "Russian immigrant" to "Russian emigre". <br />"Immigrants" came here for economic reasons, "emigre" because they go into exile for political reasons. In this case, thousands left Russia during and after the Revolution of 1917, and while many, such as my father, started at the bottom of the economic ladder (he worked in an auto body repair shop while preparing to work his way through Yale), they considered themselves "exiles." Part snobbery, I suspect, but political exiles from many countries think of themselves thus.elisaviettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12819139377185013749noreply@blogger.com
