In his new book, Mikhail Talalay, a famous scholar of the Russian presence in the Apennines, for the first time collected a complete set of names of the immigrants from Russia who finished their days in South Tyrol, a remarkable alpine region, which before the First World War was a part of Austria and then – of Italy. Initially, they were travelers, lovers of mountain beauty, then prisoners of war and post-revolutionary emigres. Among them: the memoirist Lyubov Fyodorovna Dostoyevskaya, ethnographer Aleksei Aleksandrovich Bobrinsky, royal dignitaries and officers, members of the nobility (especially the German-Baltic) and merchants, and others. The book also provides the information of biographical, genealogical, and cemetery character, collected in state and church archives of South Tyrol.
