Journal d'une Comédienne Française sous la Terreur Bolchevik, 1917-1918

A daily journal records an actress's experiences in Petrograd during the 1917–1918 revolutionary period, blending theatrical routine and social scenes with eyewitness notes on political convulsions. Entries recount encounters with court figures, the killing of Rasputin, crowd disturbances, food shortages, and clashes in the streets, while describing how performers and audiences respond and adapt. Personal impressions alternate with scene-by-scene reporting of marches, policing, and the strain on cultural life, producing an intimate chronicle of fear, resilience, and the disruption of ordinary artistic work amid rapid political upheaval.
