Memoirs of the leader of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, friend and comrade-in-arms B.V. Savinkov and A.F. Kerensky, a member of the Constituent Assembly and the Provisional Government of 1918, about his political path. An intelligent, talented man, he could bring a lot of benefit to his country, but he only played deadly games with the Security Department, spending his best years in illegal work, prisons, exile, forced emigration... Zenzinov was a stranger both in autocratic Russia and in post-revolutionary Russia, an enemy both for the gendarmes, and for the Bolsheviks, and for Admiral A.V. Kolchak.V.M. Zenzinov wrote two books of memoirs - “From the Life of a Revolutionary” and “Experienced”. He worked on his first book in 1919, after Admiral Kolchak expelled him from Russia. The second book, “The Experience,” was written in his declining years, in exile. In it V.M. Zenzinov more fully describes historical facts, as well as personal details... And the narrative ends at the events of 1908 associated with the exposure of the provocateur Azef. You can learn about what happened later - about the years of the First World War, the February Revolution, October 1917, the Civil War - from the book “From the Life of a Revolutionary,” fragments of which are included in the appendix to this publication.
