Вот, теперь прочитал. Как-то меня это художественное нытье эмигрантов давно не интересует. Начиная с Довлатова и кончая столь нелюбимыми мною диссидентами: Солженицын и ко.

"...он бы съездил в Питер, но там невозможно дышать и нет ни клочка зелени..."

Верно подмечено. После экологически чистой Финляндии летом в самом Питере начинаю чувствовать себя неуютно.

Katja Ааа, так ты об этом! Но на заглавный вопрос я ведь ответил

Не дочитал. С нашего форума кто угодно мог такое написать. Только зачем это надо?

Предводитель, зря вы, по-моему, Довлатова с этим сравниваете.

Конечно мог, но не написал ведь.


Просто почитать о том, как мы меняемся обычно сами того не замечая.

конечно из этого делают агитку,но подумайте,какие чувства испытывали эмигранты первой волны

Ethnic Russian Emigre Aged 83 Gets His Passport

ITAR-TASS/AP

MOSCOW - For 75 years, Andrei Schmemann was stateless, a man with no citizenship.

An ethnic Russian brought to France at the age of 8, Schmemann lived his entire live in Paris with a refugee ID and stubbornly refused to ask for French citizenship.

Last Sunday, the 83-year-old emigre, who dedicated most of his life to promoting the cadet movement and the revival of pre-revolutionary military schools outside Russia, got his first-ever passport from the hands of President Vladimir Putin - along with an invitation to drop by at the Kremlin whenever he is in Moscow.

"We were part of the first wave of emigration," Schmemann said. "My parents left Russia because they did not agree with the Soviet regime. But they raised us so we did not lose our Russian roots."

He sees no heroism in the fact that he wanted no other citizenship but Russian.

"I thought it would be a betrayal of my country, and taking French citizenship would mean I had to make a conscious decision to become French," Schmemann said.

He first returned to Russia in 1995, and has visited twice since.

"In St. Petersburg I felt at home right away and that pushed me toward deciding to apply for Russian citizenship," he said.

The documents he produced upon arrival in Russia - a permit to leave and enter France with a Russian visa stamp on it - startled border guards, he said.

"They said they had never seen a document like that before," he said, adding that he still jokes at how his daughter worried he would be detained for traveling without proper documents.

Schmemann was born in 1921 in Revel, which is now Tallinn, the Estonian capital. His father had been an officer in the Imperial Army's elite Semyonov regiment.

His parents immigrated to France in 1929 and all his life Schmemann carried a so-called Nansen passport, an internationally recognized identity card introduced in 1922 and first issued by the League of Nations to stateless refugees.

Schmemann attended a military school founded by Russian emigres in Paris, and he became the head of the association of Russian cadets. With his help, several such schools have been founded in Russia in recent years.

His wife, two daughters and son have French citizenship. Until his retirement Schmemann worked in an art gallery in Paris.


Schmemann applied for Russian citizenship four months ago. Last month, officials at the Russian Embassy in Paris handed him a copy of the presidential decree granting him a passport, and shortly after that the Russian ambassador told him that Putin wanted to meet with him.

The passport Schmemann received is the one that Russian citizens carry when traveling abroad. He will no longer be required to obtain a visa next time he travels to Russia.

Schmemann's nephew, the noted editor and writer Serge Schmemann, wrote of his uncle in Wednesday's New York Times: "In short, he remained a Russian. At 83, with an ailing wife, he may not use that new passport a lot. But he is no longer an emigre."
