Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hardcover. 3-383, [1] pp. Rodion Mikhailovich Akulshin (pseudonym - Berezov; 1896-1988) - Russian Christian writer, playwright, emigrant of the second wave. In the USSR, under his own name, he published books for children and youth. A member of the people's militia, he was captured by the Germans… and in 1945 ended up in a camp for displaced persons. In order not to return to the USSR, he changed his last name to Berezov, was later put on trial for deceiving the immigration authorities and was pardoned, his case was personally handled by Senator John Kennedy. While in exile, he wrote and published many collections of poems, novels, stories and essays that were not widely distributed in the USSR. Books from Akulshin-Berezov's emigrant period are still missing from most libraries in Russia. The book was printed in the New York family printing house "Rausen Brothers" ("RausenBros."), whose services were used by the famous emigrant publishing house. Chekhov. The creators and owners of the printing house were Russian emigrants - Knight of St. George, participant in the First World War, Israel Grigorievich Rauzen (18921977) and vice-president of the Odessa community Lazar Grigorievich (18841960). According to recollections, the Rausen brothers often took orders on credit or without an advance and were universal favorites of the Russian diaspora in America.
