Catherine Breshkovsky papers 1923-1934

http://archives.nypl.org/mss/383

Ekaterina Breshko-Breshkovska︠i︡a (1844-1934), whose anglicized name was Catherine Breshkovsky, was a member of the Social Revolutionary Party in Russia. After the 1917 Revolution, she left for Prague where she was active in efforts to aid the Russian refugee community. Papers include letters and postcards, 1923-1934, from Breshkovsky in Prague to Irene Dietrich in Brooklyn, New York, in which she thanks Dietrich for her gifts of clothing, school supplies, money, and other necessities to the Russian refugees Breshkovsky was aiding. Breshkovsky also discusses her efforts to help the refugees, particulary children; conditions in Russia; Russian revolutionary figures; world affairs; and personal matters. Also included are letters to Dietrich from Breshkovsky's friends, George Lazarev, Olga Kerensky, Alice Stone Blackwell, and Larissa Archangelski, and family; and photographs of Breshkovsky, ca. 1920s-1930s, and of George Larazev and Olga Kerensky and her younger son Gleb. Lazarev correspondence includes a 23-page letter written in 1928 in which Lazarev describes Breshkovsky's and his own revolutionary activities in Russia.
