The author examines the life story of a Russian imperial army lieutenant, Mikhail Kupreyanov, who joined Wrangel’s Army during the Russian Civil War and found refuge in the early 1920s in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Having worked for various tradesmen and small entrepreneurs, the educated young man from St. Petersburg was employed in 1923 by the father-in-law of a Jewish cattle trader, Franc Gonda, in Murska Sobota. A love affair between Kupreyanov and Gonda’s sixteen-year-old daughter Margit and their attempt to escape to Russia unveil many layers of contemporary social reality, from the relations between the Prekmurje Jews and Russian immigrants to the attitude of the latter to their new and former homelands.
