Anatoly Sobchak: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

''Sobchak's political career had already bloomed during his time in Chita, where he earned a reputation for getting what he wanted - though, unlike many others in Russia, he did so through handshakes, smiles, cordial relations, and back-door dealings. Finding himself on the side of Ivan Mikhailov's anti-army group, he was rewarded soon after with the post of prime minister. While none are quite sure what Sobchak truly stands for, they know that, whatever it may be, he'll find a way to get it.''

'''''After Midnight:'''''

''For every hundred tales of loss and sorrow, there's one of survival that gives the faintest glint of hope in what often seems to be a doomed land. The story of Anatoly Aleksandrovich Sobchak is one of those tales.''

''Formerly involved in the monarchist White Movement in Chita during the early 60s, he was mayor of the major Far Eastern city. When the Whites were on the brink of defeat, he fled the city with a meager handful of friends, first into the Siberian wilderness before covertly slipping over the border to Manchukuo. When he was there, he helped rebuild whatever sort of a Russian expatriate community was left in Harbin.''

''When news arrived in the Manchurian city that the "Blessed Regent" had died and that his empire was rapidly crumbling, Anatoly Aleksandrovich made one of the hardest decisions of his life: he went back.''

''Crossing the Amur with no more than two dozen followers, Sobchak founded what he called the Amur Refugee Zone, swearing that he will use his international connections in the Sphere and the West to bring in all the foreign aid he could to what few people remained in Eastern Siberia. Sobchak has dedicated his life to an attempt at alleviating the vast suffering that has been inflicted upon the Far East.''
