Based on archival materials held at the Moscow State University Library, \u003ci\u003eRussian Modernism in the Memories of the Survivors\u003c\/i\u003e catalogues six interviews conducted by Duvakin. The interviewees talk about their most intimate life experiences and give personal accounts of their interactions with famous writers and artists such as Vsevolod Meyerhold, Sergei Eisenstein, and Marina Tsvetaeva. They offer insights into the world of Russian emigrants in Prague and Paris, the uprising against the Communist government, what it was like to work at the United Nations after the Second World War, and other important aspects of life in the Soviet Union and Europe during the first half of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArchival photographs, as well as hundreds of annotations to the text, are included to help readers understand the historical and cultural context of the interviews.
