* Russians Russian emigration France knows of several waves of Russian emigration, of course, the most famous is the wave after the Russian Revolution of 1917. There were many places in Paris where immigrants from the Russian Empire settled, but mostly the entire intellectual elite lived in the Passy quarter, a beautiful and new quarter at that time, which had recently been annexed to Paris. Now it is one of the prestigious quarters of the 16th arrondissement of Paris. During our walk, we will see many addresses where celebrities such as Marc Chagall, Ivan Bunin, Alexander Kuprin, Maria Bashkirtseva, Zinaida Gippius and her husband Dmitry Merezhkovsky lived.
