BioEverything that had happened to me happened before the Russian revolution.
Fleeing Russia after the bolsheviks took over in 1917 almost froze to death in the Siberian snows. Lived in Harbin, painted portraits for living. In early 1930s met the US Marine stationed in Schanghai, married him, but left the jealous chap shortly and ran off to Paris. In 1941 with the help of Alexander Liberman moved from Paris to New York. First thing in New York ran into the jealous marine, right at the dock. Escaped to Northern California.
Lived next door to Alexander Poniatoff's garage witnessing it growing into AmPex. Hated bolsheviks for the rest of her life and never took off minks in memories of the approaching death amongst Siberian snows. Died in 1959, during the service at the Russian Orthodox church of Menlo Park. The spirit still wanders the world. As a genuine Russian is primarily concerned about pearls, minks, ribbons and lace.
