The second episode of our mini-series about the white emigration is coming out today. We continue it in Berlin, where in the 1920s, according to various estimates, from 200 thousand to 300 thousand Russians arrived.

For a city with a population of about four million, it was a serious change — you couldn't spend a day on the street without hearing the Russian speech.
