Un prinţ în Ţara Sovietelor: Misiunea lui Pavel Dolgorukov în U.R.S.S., 1926
The Journey of Prince Pavel Dolgorukov into the USSR, 1926

Summary/Abstract: The author presents a document from the Romanian intelligence services, actually a sort of diary and travel notes of the Russian Prince Pavel Dolgorukov. Born into a noble family in 1866, Moscow, Dolgorukov was among the founders of the Constitutional-Democratic Party, the so called Cadet Party. Politically belonging to the famous Russian liberal intelligentsia, Pavel Dolgorukov fought in the Revolution of October 1917 and in the Civil War that followed against the Reds. Forced to flee into exile, he became a prominent figure of the White Russian diaspora. In 1926, the former Prince made a second attempt to penetrate the Soviet border, this time on the Dniester bank. He succeeded and spent no less than 40 days traveling to Odessa and Kharkov, in the Soviet Ukraine, before being arrested by CEKA. He was considered to be a spy and executed in 1927.
