Biography
V. M. Perekrestenko was born in Kiev on 7 July 1887. In 1915 he received his commission as an officer in the Russian army,
with which he fought through the First World and Russian Civil Wars, finally evacuating to Yugoslavia.
He left Yugoslavia following the Second World War. From 1954 to 1961, he lived in Belgium, where he was secretary of the Union
of Russian Writers and Journalists in Belgium (Soiuz russkikh pisatelei i zhurnalistov v Bel'gii). In 1961 he left for the
United States, where he remained until his death in San Francisco.
Perekrestenko was a correspondent for numerous émigré newspapers, and his collection contains many of his writings, including
the works "Lageria" and "Na pereput'i," which describe experiences in displaced persons camps. Of particular interest is the
office file of the Soiuz russkikh pisatelei i zhurnalistov v Bel'gii, detailing its founding and activities up to 1961.
Scope and Content Note
V. M. Perekrestenko was a journalist and writer who wrote primarily newspaper columns on current events for the émigré press.
This collection contains drafts of these columns, as well as more substantial pieces, such as an unpublished novel entitled
"Protoierei Andzhelko" and unpublished autobiographical works based on his experience in displaced persons' camps in post-World
War Two Europe, entitled "Lageria" and "Na pereput'i." Also of interest is the subject file Soiuz russkikh pisatelei i zhurnalistov
v Bel'gii, of which organization he was secretary.
Detailed processing and preservation microfilming for these materials were made possible by a generous grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and by matching funds from the Hoover Institution and Museum of Russian Culture. The grant also
provides depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Library & Archives. The original materials remain in the Museum
of Russian Culture, San Francisco as its property. A transfer table indicating corresponding box and reel numbers is available
at the Hoover Institution Library & Archives.
