Daily Beast reviews THE BLACK RUSSIAN by Vladimir Alexandrov

Daily Beast reviews THE BLACK RUSSIAN by Vladimir Alexandrov

From The Daily Beast: “With so much focus on the black experience in America in the 19th century, we might never consider the black experience in Europe at the same time. Vladimir Alexandrov’s The Black Russian rectifies this oversight, and does so with panache. His tale is the biography of an individual who is wholly remarkable, regardless of race, and whose vitality, guile, and charm led him from Mississippi to Moscow, with plenty of adventures along the way.”
