My family left Russia in 1847, but a grandson of the emigres and his wife left Switzerland and went back to Russia to take an appointment as the head of the Czar's hospital. Having gown up in Bassarabia his wife spoke Russian, Greek, French and Romanian, so was able to teach him Russian. After the children were all older than 10 she'd had her fill of Russia and left him to his appointment in Moscow and built a home in West Hollywood. Due to kismet the Czar had my emigre ancestor working for Count Alexander Stroganoff as penance. Stroganov was subsequently appointed Governor General of Novorossiia and Bessarabia from 1855 to 1863, so had extensive dealings the with my family there after they arrived from Greece. My ancestor who originally left foresaw a man like Putin saying, "*one day Genghis Khan will return with the telegraph*", which is to say a barbarian with technology.
