With a passport stamped ‘never to return’, St Petersburg intellectual and publisher Abram Kagan was expelled by Lenin in 1922, ending up in Berlin, where his young son Anatol would read the proofs of Leon Trotsky’s History of the Russian Revolution.

The Kagan family’s journey out of Europe in the tumultuous days between the Russian Revolution and the World War II makes an exciting read Trixie and Bruce Harvey (historians)
