Born into an aristocratic family in imperial Russia, she found her true calling in improving the lives of urban workers. Her passion for social service and reputation as the \"Red Countess\" led her to political prominence after the fall of the Romanovs. She became the first woman to hold a cabinet position and the first political prisoner tried by the Bolsheviks. The upheavals of the 1917 Revolution forced her to flee her beloved country, but instead of living a quiet life in exile she devoted the rest of her long life to humanitarian efforts on behalf of fellow refugees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Based on Adele Lindenmeyr's detailed research in dozens of archival collections, \u003ci\u003eCitizen Countess\u003c\/i\u003e establishes Sofia Panina as an astute eyewitness to and passionate participant in the historical events that shaped her life. Her experiences shed light on the evolution of the European nobility, women's emancipation and political influence of the time, and the fate of Russian liberalism.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations ix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments xi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Note on Names and Dates xv\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 A Fairy-Tale Childhood 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 The Battle for Sofia 34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 “\u003cbr\u003eThe Richest Marriageable Girl in Russia”\u003cbr\u003e 56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 The People’\u003cbr\u003es House 83\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 The “\u003cbr\u003eRed Countess”\u003cbr\u003e 108\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Sofia Goes to War 136\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Revolution in Petrograd 157\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Sofia Goes Underground 182\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 Enemy of the People 204\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Fighting the Bolsheviks 226\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11 “\u003cbr\u003eOur Bread Tastes Bitter in Foreign Lands”\u003cbr\u003e 259\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue 287\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes 301\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography 357\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52694811705624,"sku":"9780299325343","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/citizen-countess-sofia-panina-and-the-fate-of-revolutionary-russia-paperback-softback-9780299325343","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
