Description
Alexander Paul Albov served in the White Army during the Russian Civil War and in the air force of the Russian Liberation Army during World War II. He was born and raised in the city of Lomza in Poland, which was part of the Russian Empire. As an émigré in Serbia, he received his law degree from the University of Belgrade in 1926. In this donated, self-recorded memoir, Albov discusses his life before and during the Russian Revolution and Civil War, the time of the Great Depression in the Balkan states, and his experiences in the Vlasov army. This interview is part of a group of interviews documenting Russian émigrés in California that were donated to The Bancroft Library.
