Title	Zachem my zdes'? Pervaia russkaia emigratsiia o sebe (1920-1939)
Description	Why Are We Here? The First Russian Emigration Examines Itself (1920–1939) launches a series devoted to the historical and anthropological experience of exile. This first book in the series features essays from the Interwar period (1920s-1930s), when the titular question—“why are we here?”—was sharply relevant for Russian émigrés of the First Wave. Their attempts to answer it depended on multiple circumstances. What processes in Russia and abroad defined the political and aesthetic objectives of the First Wave? Why did the “Mission of the Russian Emigration,” proclaimed by Bunin in 1924, give way to the realization that as a “state without a territory” the emigration had failed? Was it only the looming threat of World War II that compelled Yuri Rapoport to declare “The End of Russia Abroad” in 1939? Over the course of two decades, various authors sought answers to a question that has once again become topical a hundred years later. What does their experience mean for us today?
