Vera Aleksandrovna Popova Memoirs, 1960-1969.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/320409292

Popova's disjointed memoirs discuss her family and ancestors, artistic and cultural life in pre-revolutionary Moscow, and the emigration in France. Among the people who appear in these memors are Sergeĭ Di︠a︡gilev, Savva Mamontov, Maksim Gorḱiĭ, Serafim Sudb́inin, Mikhail Larionov, and Natalii︠a︡ Goncharova. Also included is a typescript biography (29 p.) of her cousin, Pavel S. Popov (1892-1964), by an unidentified Soviet author. Popov, who married a granddaughter of Lev Tolstoĭ, was the author of "Istorii︠a︡ logiki novogo vremeni" (1960), and taught philosophy at Moscow University. This manuscript touches on his family, education, professional career in the Soviet Union, and, in great detail, his family troubles in the last yeats of his life.
