GENERAL WRANGEL PYOTR NIKOLAYEVICH (1878-1928), AUTOGRAPH A letter addressed to Gregory Aleksinsky. Sremski Karlovci (Kingdom of Yu- goslavia), March 23, 1922.
1 p.; 27x22 cm. Typewriting. Handwritten signature of
P. N. Wrangel.
General Wrangel apologizes that he cannot ‘help financially’ with the trip of G. Aleksinsky
to Serbia due to financial difficulties. Also thanks for the correspondence and
expressed his respect and loyalty.
Provenance: Aleksinsky Grigory Alekseevich (1879-1967) - public and political
figure, publicist. At the beginning of his political activity he was a social democrat,
later- a counter-revolutionary. In 1918 he was arrested but released on bail. Escaped
abroad. In emigration he held unambiguously anti-Bolshevik positions. In 1920 he
was judged in absentia by the Supreme revolutionary Tribunal within the case of
«Tactical center», found guilty of counter-revolutionary conspiracies and deprived
of the right to enter Soviet Russia.
