The author, Lana der Partog, a third-generation Russian on the island, tells the story of how her grandfather, Nikolai Dimitch Matoff, first arrived in the British colony in March 1920, along with more than 1,500 other White Russians. The book tells the story of some men and women who formed the core of the Russian community in Cyprus, the world’s first classified refugees, whose existence few even here know or remember.
